Tow Hook Color

They are the XR wheels

OK, that will be the next rabbit hole for me -- wheels. Those have certainly whet my appetite....!

I've got a Snazzberry JLU Sport (Altitude) that has all black trim (no chrome or silver). It came with black tow hooks, but as I'm switching out the OEM front plastic bumper with a steel Rubicon take-off, I'm considering switching out the red Rubicon hooks for some gold/bronze 392 take-off hooks. My question is, does the Jeep community frown on switching tow hook colors, since they are clearly (originally) associated with a particular model? I'm not wanting to try and pass off my sport as a 392.... I just like how the gold would accent my color scheme.
Thoughts?

HUH?

Jeep should offer a blackout package, separate from color. I'd have easily gone Rubicon instead of Sahara if I could've paid ~$300 for a blackout kit. They have the parts, take our money.

I'd have paid $300 to get rid of the red dash/stitching alone TBH.

I'm pretty sure they did. It's called a MOAB!

Ugh damnit I know but this package wasn't offfered in 2021. It would have been my *perfect* Jeep build. I think I missed it by a year or two.

Did the Moab come with D44s F&R, 4:1 xfer case, and lockers?

I replaced my plastic bumper with the OEM steel which came with red tow hooks. I actually prefer the black hooks like the MOAB but it seems like a real PITA to change them out on the front. It was much easier to replace the rear tow hook to red so that they all match. The red is growing on me.

Moral of the story is that who knows why a person does what to their jeep. If someone wants to make judgments that's on them. Do what you like.

One of the things I negotiated with my dealer was getting rid of all the red for the gold/bronze. IMO it looks better with the sting gray. I also got the tan seats just so there would be no red inside either.

Looks great! I'm thinking about doing the same. I like the tan seats, but not sure about how well they will look with the Sting Grey. That stated, I think we can agree that anything will look better than the Affliction-shirt-inspired red dash. If its not too much trouble, could you post some interior pictures too?

Yeah, nobody cares.

In my case, the red tow hooks that came on the Mopar steel bumper match the Firecracker Red on my Sahara perfectly.

Those white wheels are unusual, but I think I'm in love! Nice job!

Moab was such a kickass edition!

I like the retro white wagon wheels.
Where did you source them?
Thinking of putting on a set this coming spring.

Pixeldecals made the vintage Jeep hub decals.

It was a Sahara with steel bumper, MT tires and decals. Almost Rubicon money tho.

+ Selec-Trac, rear D44 with LSD, Rubicon hood and rock rails, color-matched hardtop, and I believe they all came standard with the V6, automatic transmission and leather seats.

Any color you pick will offend someone. So use all the colors of the rainbow! ?
Ummmm……. hold on a sec.
Yeah, that’s not a good idea either.
Sand the paint off and let them rust
Or
Piss on what others think and paint them any color you want.

Close enough. It was a optioned out sahara with steel bumper, MT tires, decal, and rubicon hood.
