Yeah I'm sure I want to get rid of it, it's too big for me to drive...

Jeep Fever won't wait, it ain't no Thinking Thing . Why not order a new one, in a color you can live with, and if it gets scratched , dinged up, do a repaint at that time.
The paint is only skin deep, it's what lies beneath that counts . New, with you writing its History, that's "Priceless"

Buy back the one you sold. 1500 for new lift and tires don't sound like a bad idea. As long as the wreck wasn't major who cares.

Islander1 has a point, body panels didn't weren't correctly aligned when the dealers body shop put it back together. And the thing is is we put the wheels, tires, wheel spacers, and the new bumper on, the other owner had put the lift on. So really yeah it's more than worth the 1500, but we paid that much less for it brand new, with no miles on it. Now it has 47k and they want 24k for it.... So I'm at a loss really.... That's really the only color I want right now... So unless jeep pulls a rabbit out of their ass and comes up with some very not boring colors... More than likely the truck might stay a little longer than I planned. :(

And yes Four Low, jeep fever does not wait... I love how we as jeep enthusiasts realize that once you get the fever it won't go away. I'm glad I'm not the only one that knows that feeling, I guess I can thank my dad for all that, because i really never had an interest in jeeps, I liked imports, but dad has had about 20 different keeps. And I guess enough ride alongs and having one of my own can really do it for you. Whatever I get next will probably be the last jeep I buy. Because I will keep it till the wheels fall off, besides making payments for a vehicle gets old after awhile.

I'm starting to question if you're even a jeep enthusiast .... Maybe just a gecko green lover.... So paint your truck gecko green and be done with it !!!! You're welcome ..... *poke* *wink*

No, I actually do love jeeps, I do love the gecko color, on a jeep. I just think that the colors on the new ones are just plain, is there a color for the 15, 16's that don't show all the flaws and scratches?

Anvil. Solid color, even though it's Base coat/clear coat, it can be matched and painted with the old, easy to spray, fast flashing (acrylic) enamels.

Well, after some serious considerations, I'm starting to warm up to some of the new 16 colors looking into the red, blue, but I'm kinda digging the Mojave sand willys would be totally badass.
