sometimes it's better to be cookie cutter than be the broken cookie. I wouldn't leap to do anything just to be different but I know some folks would. I personally think it's a fine line between ugly and beautiful when you start doing some of this and the fake toobs, half converted doors, it's skirting that line. I've seen a couple look good though they took more work.
I agree & that's really good advice.
I , too, have seen that thin-line of which you speak; when crossed hastily , the target jeep winds-up being ruined .
Fwiw, I am beyond pleased w the JKU I have - performance wise- built myself. I've begun lookin at that " next" phase ,tho. I'm sure you've been there , likely way before me w/the JK . My trail riding 'wants' are beginning to exceed what I've built so far. So, I have begun to consider tons & that will inevitably require beadlocks +meat for 8 lugs setup...we all know what that costs ..then, oh snap...how am I gonna b able to move an added 1400-1600lbs when I gotta 3.8l ...let's look at engine swaps! - sigh-
At this point , I usually realize I'd be throwing money away that I'll never see returned , even if I found that one, unlikely buyer for a sale. Mine is so "me" no body would ever buy it, heh.
If i analyze this , I guess it's why I'm trying to find something that I can convince myself to just keep it but also to put it even a slight step-away from every other well proportioned, capable black JKU.
I guess I should be happy I got my "first phase" list all completed , be appreciative & just enjoy wheelin it as is ,huh?
Jeep therapy session ended , lol.
