Here's mine. Went with a USMC theme. "Serial number" starts with the normal 20 and six digits following but actually represents the date I left the Marine Corps: 20130830 or 8/30/2013. 33" duratrec tires on 15" level 8 tracker wheels. Tinted 30% all around. 3" Stubby antennae. Smittybilt mollie tailgate cover.

Great idea for a thread. I'm going for the military aesthetic myself, although not quite as full on as a few Jeeps I've seen. I'm going for a stripped down look that is based on the Willy's. I'm not trying to recreate the original though, I'm trying to keep in the spirit. So rather than bolt a bunch of unnecessary extra stuff on, like huge bumpers and lights etc. I'm trying to reduce the amount of stuff, keeping the vehicle lean and mean.
I'm at the point where I'm trying to think of what to do next, but I don't want to do something just for the sake of it, y'know?
Two things I'd love to do are replace the back seat with something lighter and easily removable, and the other is to replace the rear lights with simple round ones.
In the immediate future I want to get rid of the rollbar covers and repaint the roll bars.
Friends keep telling me to olive-drab the thing, which I like the idea of, but I'm not sure if I need to slavishly follow the military aesthetic to that degree. Which is why I've avoided adding military style decals. I'm not interested in creating a facsimile of a military Jeep...I just want it to look bare-bones and capable.
That said, I'm completely open to ideas, and always love to see military themed JK's.

Guys that have graphics, on their rigs, if possible please post what style font you are using along with where you got them. I am really looking to start a graphic project and want to get more ideas. I am really liking a lot of the ones posted in this thread.
Thanks, Cheers

That's really awesome! I went with the 2.5" but I think I'm going to add 1" spacers for a little more lift, plus to compensate for the sag with heavy bumpers. If I can net 3"-3.5" overall, I'll be happy with that! Jeep looks awesome man!

I got my OD Green distressed stars from Andy aka 10tonvynil on wranglerforum.com
Great customer service and great work. I think his web site was 10tonvynil. He does everything including wall stickies.
