Going Postal Edition

[YBABRAT]

Here is a rough edit to give a retro look with a grill mod.

As explained earlier the 2024 on up air flow Jeep is touting in pushing the new grill benefits is pure bunk. Remove the grill inserts and you will see the outer openings have no direct flow to cool radiator or engine. They are dead spots. No type of factory updated grill is going to fix it. If you want better flow, move them two horns somewhere out of the way. They are blocking air more so than older style grills.

Top is original without inserts. Bottom is a quick and dirty edit for a retro modded grill.

Dumb. But I respect the fact you are free to do whatever you want to your Jeep.

I like it! The only way it could be better is if it were right hand drive.

I specifically limited my Jeep model year to be 2019. I did not realize that year had limited run on 2 doors. Right hand drive 2019 models are very very rare and are exported. Heck there are only 680 or so US models out of 3900 or less White 2 Doors for 2019.

If you don't actually work for USPS I'd be careful. Impersonating a postal worker is a federal crime and the mail police are bored. Not telling you how to live your life or anything, just a friendly heads up in case you didn't know. If you are a postal worker please disregard.

I am not a lawyer, but US MALL or US MALE might be different enough to avoid the problem.

There is no violation of any State or Federal Statute for anyone owning, operating. or displaying any U.S. Postal insignia. It is a violation only if there is an intent to deceive or defraud or act in the stead of a U.S. Postal Government employee. Which makes this person 100% legal to own and operate this Jeep.

Thank you... a nice confirmation to my explanation earlier in the post.

Well, I never intended on a postal jeep. When my only option was left to a white Rubicon, my mind got carried away with white options. I have other things in mind once the newness wears off. Eventually the people who see the car will wonder what will come up next. Here is a list of upcoming changes...

Stay Puffed Marshmellow Jeep
NASA Jeep
Ice Cream Jeep
Texas Beach Patrol Jeep
70s Hostess or 70s Wonder Bread Jeep
#7 Allen Kulwiki Hooters Jeep

Yep and if it turns out he’s wrong I’m sure he’ll be right there to pay your bail and attorney fees.

Like I said, not a lawyer. I just know they're pretty intense about markings on the LLV's that go into private ownership and thought it was something a lot of people probably wouldn't have even considered. @YBABRAT said he considered it already, did his own risk assessment, and is happy with his decision, so it's all copacetic.

Wonder if rear seats were replaced with a bed?

I personally love it! I'm a sucker for retro themes. I'd totally rock this... However, yeah as others have said, get rid of the Rubicon decal.

I am not keen on removing the decal. If anything an aftermarket Rubicon hood would be my option to go without the decals.

One thing I like is how the stripes taper when viewed at the side.

If anything I would have guessed people would say remove the Koala nose decal. Oh I can make my Jeep have a Koala Rescue themed Jeep... need big ass fluffy ears to mount on top. Geezo! I'll never get board with ideas let alone theming this thing.

I do live in an area that does allow personal use vehicals. Just there is another jeep doing the job before I moved here. I can always wait it out and see how long they continue with the job.

I would definitely talk to the guy and see if there are nearby positions
