I'll post some pics as soon as I get home to Michigan. I'm currently in Arizona for some work and vacation time with the family. I actually stopped by ******* jeep today to talk to Jason, check out the dealership and see some of their cool built jeeps. They have a badass orange jkur converted to a Jk-8 with a bunch of aev and rigid goodies. Jason was a cool guy to bs with and it was nice to meet him!

Is that your little one. I can almost hear her. "Daddy, I want that jeep" lol

That's a sweet JK8 though

Go get some molding tape....remove that Jeep logo on the front...black it out....and reinstall it.

It will look sweet.

Yup, that's my little girl Gianna. She just turned 2 on April 4th. She LOVES my Jeep, she call's it "Daddy's White Beep Beep", lol. She had a blast at the dealership. pointing at every Jeep and swing that's Daddy's/Gigi's beep beep, and pointing out colors. She liked the all orange JKUR the most. I actually liked the all Gecko Green the most, never thought I'd like that color, lol.

Can you explain more about this molding tape? I've never heard of it. THanks!

Fishing line works great. Use it to saw the backing off the sticky stuff behind the letters. Then use Goo Gone or the like to remove sticky stuff front grill.

Paint them letters, add more sticky stuff to back, and reinstall.

Can't remember what the sticky stuff is called, it's foamy, black, and sticky on both sides.

What the other poster just mentioned...use some fishing line to get behind the letters and then some acetone or goo gone to get the residue off.

3M or any other body molding tape is usually sold at any auto parts store. Its double sided and is the consistency of say a stiff clay and foam tape added together. Its double sided. The b!tch is to trim it so it fits the letters and does not stick out of the sides. Well worth the time cause it looks awesome when done. Use an exacto knife or a box cutter to get it trimmed right.

You know I didn't think I'd like the gecko either but I saw one at the dealership last week and I actually like it a lot. It's a bit bright for me but I like the look, and I pick up my orange jeep tomorrow morning.

Nice Build! Looks great with all the aev stuff! White looks good with the black wheels and especially with the aev bumpers My only complaint would be that your replaced your rubi rails for the side steps....makes it easier to get in but still!

rays0852

I agree

I swapped my Sahara steps for Rubi rails

Ace sliders are next so the mrs and my little guy can get in easier

Congrats on the new Jeep!

I already had the Sahara side steps (I bought them originally for my 2010 JKUR). I haven't sold my Rock Rails, and don't plan on it. I can/will easily swap the steps for the rails when I plan on an offroading adventure.
