    I built this Jeepster 3 years ago in a bit of a hurry, so things like old soft top holes, the never to be used again hard top holes and the emblem holes never got filled. Between yesterday and today I filled 50 of them, plus fixed a few pinholes. It got painted a dull grey color that I was never happy with, and was breaking out in spots with surface rust. Our local Jeep Jam is in June and that is my goal each year, to upgrade before the event, or it would never get done. One of our club members owns an aftermarket company and gave me a deal on the new rims.

    I'm going to try to get the YJ seats in the front to match the rear, and if I have time some rock rails. I know everyone likes pics.

    In the last year it didn't have those 10" rims on it, it had stock Toyota steelies.(I have Toyota axles) The wide rims wouldn't pass inspection, so I put wide TJ flares on front, didn't like them so went to more backset rim, but those hit the leafs so that's why the new wheels. The flares will be close to covering, but it gets trailered most of the time and I still have the wide flares for inspection time.

    Silver. I painted it myself the first time with the grey because a painter friend suggested I might have trouble spraying metallic. I'm not sure who's spraying it this time.
