Default Hello from Nevada

I am new to Jeeps and just cant get enough of them so much that I bought one Jeep in 2011 and then bought two more to rebuild in late 2012. I am not finished with the rebuild yet, but were close. I think I will call him Garfield.
This is where we are at now with the build. I will soon be adding front and rear bumpers from Rugged Ridge and his own winch to get him outta trouble.

Wow nice job on all the work. Like the orange paint, but just not my thing.
What part of Nevada are you from?

Thanks for all the welcomes.. I went with the Orange because I was told if you were gonna gun the paint yourself, that White or Orange would be very forgiving. This was my first attempt at painting a vehicle and didnt wanna go back to white, plus I saw some of the CJ's painted orange and I liked the color scheme. I am from Northern Nevada, Lake Tahoe area.. I still need to replace the windshield, this vehicle was laid over in a canal bank before I got it. And if anyone has any advice for an inexpensive front and rear bumper so I can attach the winch, that would be great. I am a fabricator by trade, but have not had the time to get any of the layout done at work, and unfortunately I don't have the tools at home that I would need to get the bumper done. Thanks again!!
