There's one locally that's pretty sweet but Its got the black soft top and flares and looks much better in mu opinion, but other than that I love it.

The problem with fj's is that toyota paints the roof of all those things white if your talking about the fj cruiser

I think it would look awesome with a flat clear coat with some flat black accents. But that is me, it would have that military look that was earlier stated

It needs some black. I bet a chop top cherokee with a black cover would look nice. And the bumpers, flares and tires should be black too.

I actually saw it again after I wrote this post. It's got a nice rack up top and all. With the black soft top and flares and the rack on it, it looks pretty freakin sweet. Can't wait to see how yours turns out.
