If you take the stripe off then you need a new screen name... the stripe kinda tells you were it came from.... and cops might leave you alone if you are speeding... might think it is a fire Jeep if they are not paying close attention... Good fins and good buy and current pictures of it???

My personal opnion is that you should take off all the rest and leave the stripe. Paint your rims White and call it a day, I think that'd look good but thats IMO

You have a point there, I do like the stripe because it adds character and it'll set me apart from the rest of the red xj's around and on the net(I hope). I have BIG plans for this thing within the next few months but nothing soon except for a nice system since I've never owned one and think I deserve it . I'll think about painting the rims white if I can't get them clean enough to my liking because that is a pretty good idea! Thanks xXx and Rooster! As for current pics, I can't buy the jeep until next tuesday so I won't have any until next tuesday or wednesday, although I do have pics of it without the lettering that I could upload if I hack into my flicker account haha. The reason I can't pick the Jeep up until next tuesday is because the township that it belongs to needs to vote to sell it to me and approve it since its government or something or because the moneys coming from a tax payer(me) or something stupid like that ...was told that they would have no reason in the world not to approve it so I'll be picking her up next week after work and can't wait!!!!

if you are getting a system i would give you the advice of tinting your windows so your system can't be seen... in my experience anytime a system is in a non tinted car it gets stolen... so add window tint to your list good luck with it and keep us updated...

Yeah. I'm suprised he found my previous work vehicle for sale. I used to rev the engine and go off-roading every day in that thing. Little does he know.

Haha.


Anyway, throw a roof rack on that SOB. I think all jeeps look goofy without one. Even the oem ones make them look WAY beter IMO.

I waited a week and the board approved so I paid them yesterday and was going to transfer the title after work but they called around lunch time and told me that there was a little problem. The little problem was that they had listed and (sold) the jeep a few months back but the guy that won it cried for his money back after discovering that it had the stickers still on it after he had signed the title.(yes he signed the title before looking at it first! The pics from the website are the same that I posted on here so idk what his problem was but I consider myself very lucky to have won it this time around). Anyhow, his name was on the title,they gave him his money back, notary used (white-out) over the guys name and gave the title back to the township and it wasn't looked at again until they pulled it out and was about to send it back to the notary for me to sign yesterday evening and they noticed the white-out and said that harrisburg wouldn't approve it so they sent for a duplicate copy and it'll be here next week sometime ...I'm very upset over the whole ordeal but I'm also very thankful that I had the chance to ****** it so I don't mind waiting a little longer .They did give a copy of the title,a receipt,one key,they're detailing it,filling its 20 gallon tank and changing its oil I believe so I'm a happy camper right now! In the meantime, I bought some small things for it that I'll be putting on as soon as I get it! SORRY FOR THE BOOK! But thanks for reading!!

I couldn't agree with you more! I plan on adding a roof rack on her when I lift her(hopefully around august or september she'll be getting jacked up)

jcwclm-Its still up in the air but its either gonna be a 4.5" or a 5.5" lift for sure. I still have no clue as to what size or brand of tires to get. Any suggestions?

Rooster- Hell whats another week! lol...I'll just keep buying small stuff for it until I get it. I've already spent about $400 on aftermarket interior stuff,window vents, and stickers. I can't wait to lift her,get a roof rack, tire carrier, winch, beefy front bumper, tint the winders,and the list goes on...
