Talking Make a JK4Dr mimic a Rescue Concept?

Anyone painted the Hard Top Rescue Green?

I'm considering buying a Wrangler 4dr (which would require trading my 85CJ) however the only thing that'd make me happy would be something as close to the Rescue Concept as possible. First off...painting the HT Rescue Green. Anyone have any stats on the size of the Rescue Lift, type tires, Rims--I can't find similar rims with an initial search. Bumpbers? Gunmetal tubular sidebar+tubular roof-rack? The right fender flares (Zenon?)

If I can put one together, it'd be perfect. Plus, the color would piss off the wife. But hell.....it's my Jeep!

POLL--A worthy cause?

People have painted the hardtops. No advice on if it is worth it, that is up to you.

FYI.... I think they killed the Rescue Green color already.

Couple things:

1) I don't really think you're an idiot or want you to die, but that was too good a poll option not to pick!

2) Rescue Green was supposedly un-discontinued (that's right - they were going to cancel it, then changed their minds and axed Light Greystone instead), so you should still be able to get a Rescue Green JK and get paint from a dealership.

3) I'm not sure if it's worth it... If you really loved the concept, then go ahead and attempt it - you'll probably be unique, because I don't think anyone else has done this.

Good luck whatever you decide.

Default No two CJ's are alike.

I guess the same can apply here.

Find a way to do it without trading in your CJ. You will probably get raped on the trade anyway. The stealer will just up the price on the Unlimited to compensate.

They are a Goodyear MTR that hasn't been grooved all the way to what the production tire looks like.
