Great pics! Don't some of these companies realize that they're adding too much aftermarket looking stuff on their JK's. I mean, look at that Bushwacker white one. Although it has a ton of nice stuff on it, they went way overboard and now it looks like a clown version of a JK. It's like the equivalent of one of those honda civics with a huge wing on the back or something stupid like that.

SO many new ideas, so little money. It would be cool if the vendors could send WOL a list of mods for their Jeeps so we can see what items there are on the Jeeps that we like and also give us an idea of where to get them.
I see some very practical mods I would like to have and also some impractical mods I would love to have, but may be harder to convince the wife that we need.

No problem, I guess beauty really is in the eye of the beholder 
I just don't see the point of those mesh doors, lift that's too much for those tires (at least in my opinion), and what's with that ridiculous spare tire area, ugly painted bumper, and all white interior with all those monitors. And then there is that cheesy skull painted box. Just not my thing I guess.
The flares, tires, wheels, suspension, shocks, axles, transfer case are thumbs up however. At any rate, congrats to the owner because they definitely have a unique vehicle that's all their own.

Out of curiousity (I'm not trying to pick a fight), please explain further. It's my understanding that the guy who had this Jeep built plans on wheeling it very hard. I can understand the paint not being for everone (I wouldn't want to scratch that work up every weekend), but it seems to me like the rest of the build is pure function, just executed in a way the happens to be easy on the eyes.

I was always under the impression that this is exactly what shows are for! Going all out and showing people what you got and what you're capable of building 
Hmm.....

Just note.
The Evo Coil Overs systems can be adjusted lower for the proper minimal lift height for those 37inch tires,and still achieve 14 inches of wheel travel
or you have the ability to adjust it higher for for that classic 80s look
