Whats the point in running your mouth about someone elses jeep. Is it sitting in your driveway? No, to each his own. I love lime green, just like alot of others. My bumper is lime green, my steering is lime green. all my suspension is about to be lime green. If you dont like it to ****ing bad.

This ^

Constructive criticism or suggestions to help someone is one thing... bashing someone's rig and saying it looks like **** is another entirely.

Kyle 4x4, some people like painting parts to set their vehicle apart rather than putting ridiculous stickers in the window... but I should take my own advice and not mention that...

HAHA dude you have a tractor stack, wal-mart hood scoops, can holder screwed to your fenders and a pvc snorkel...enough said.
I painted my diff covers fluorescent lime green, I get positive comments all the time. I could of painted them orange or red, but I was afraid someone would report that my cherokee was on fire : )

I think I'm picking up a t-case skid plate today for $20 and it turns out that the guy has Grand Cherokee V8 coils for $30 leftover from a previous Cherokee project. Good match for my craigslist NOS rear leafs and longer shackles for a 1.5-2 inch lift. I might have to see what else he's got...

Yesterday I Finally got that damn pitman arm off !! Took all afternoon if pulling, banging, smacking, cursing, kicking etc and then thought, to hell with the f***er and cut it ! Lol. The new dropped arm is now on and I also replaced the ball joints. I just gotta reassemble everything tomorrow and she will be good to go for some weekend wheeling

As a matter of fact it's damn near our responsibility as the black sheep of the Jeep family. Now where did I put that PVC....

This ^. I catch hell at work all the time for trimming my fenders and bumper, and for the Christmas lights I had on it. But the fenders and bumper are functional, and the lights made people smile. Whether they were laughing with me or laughing at me, I don't care. Either way, it made them laugh, and I still like my Jeep.
Dixie, I love yours. It is the epitome of redneck engineering. You identify a problem, and you get it fixed. Does it look pretty? Not in the traditional sense, but there are people who appreciate the simplicity of your mods. (And you get bonus points for the flag)
As for colors? People have preferences. As stated: If you don't like it, don't do it to yours.
