MOJITO! Wrangler JL Club

[ResponsibleAdult]

[GALLERY=][/GALLERY] Hello and thanks. I bought this paint on eBay for $25.00. It’s not mojito green but it’s the same color code. I put three coats of primer and four coats of paint and five coats of clear. Came out pretty good but if I had the cash I would have had it painted professionally using automotive paint instead of spray paint. But for now it will do. Thinking of doing the dash next

It turned out well. Thanks for the details.

From the pictures, they look great. But I wanted to ask you what was the reason you would do it differently (professional paint vice spray paint)? Is the difference pretty obvious? (Hard to tell in the pictures.)

Welcome aboard!

Do you know why the bumpers stick out so far? I don’t see BMW’s with bumpers like that.

Jeeps go off road. BMWs don't. The front bumpers doubles as a bench to sit on, when you want to have lunch on the trails.

The spray paint cans just aren’t as good as the automotive paint. Quality is just better and it doesn’t chip as easy. And the clear coat application seems to be better. Now this is just my opinion I am not a professional by any means. But I am happy with it and now I’m gonna tackle the dash this summer

Thank you @pixeldecals for doing a great job creating this decal! Flat black with a gloss black outline. I grew up listening to 80’s hair bands, and still do! It also has a double entendre being on a Rubicon.

I’ll post this in the What did you do to your Jeep today thread, Mojito Wrangler JL club thread, and the stickers thread.

Without further ado...

Little changes to Fiona at a time, saving $$$ for the big upgrades to come
Alien Sunshade for front and rear (Notice the green seat belt and window escape tool)
Red Yitamotor D-Rings for front and read, black came with bumpers and they needed to go
Rugged Ridge Dash multi-mount for cell phone
20 inch OEDRO LED light bar, very easy hooking up to the AUX switches on dash
Last 2 pictures are

of getting Her ready to take the Top off here in Texas. I needed to move a lot (a lot) of woodworking saws and tables. This is just a dry fit for now

Powder coat won't chip or crack on those coil springs?

All paint chips and crack if you don’t take care of it.

If the powder coat is done right it will last for years. Plus the springs won't get banged around like rings on wheels will if you go offroad. My friend powder coated his wife's springs on her jeep and it has been rock crawling a few times and they still look new.

Added a few little things and stripped her down.

Hello and nice wheels. Did you do those yourself? Was thinking of doing something similar but wasn’t sure how it would look? But now that I’ve seen yours? This might just be what the doctor ordered.
