Dang that is such a pretty truck!! I love the stance on it and I like that front bumper too. Nice build, she is definitely lucky.

Very nicely done! If you guys wanna do some trails around Phoenix let me know. If you are looking for a shake down off road run we can hit bull dog out by Saguaro lake. I run this trail all of the time and it is a lot of fun but not crazy.

Double post

Looks Great!

Did you replace the rear quarter glass gasket too. If so what did you use or did you source a premade?

That's looking really clean! The cargo tie-downs are always good.

The Kaiser Jeep logo in the '70s razor grille is a nice touch too

Very nice! Nice to see a two-door FSJ; very rarely see any around here. Love the color.
