I want to get rid of the dealer ad that's there now. I don't want to be one of those guys with ragged pieces of vinyl flying off my JK every time I go on the highway.

I bought the Jeep logo cover new with my JK. Then I decided I didn't like the look (and it doesn't fit now, anyway). Original tires were 245s (X with S-pkg) and the cover fit very tightly. If you'd like that cover, maybe we can work something out--say $5 to cover shipping?

I have the base X, only upgrades were the stereo ac and I'm not sure if they normally come with skidplates...

I think that one should fit, thanks! I'll pm you momentarily.

I bought the plain black Bestop. $20, looks great (matches soft top, same material) and made well.

Does anyone with a plain black one have an opinion on how it would hold up to silk-screening? I'd like to get my company logo put on there...

nope, Brown motors from Greenfield.

I am cool with Brown motors, they have been good about my wifes car and were fair about selling me my JK, but I'm not a billboard. The license plate holder doesn't bug me but the sticker came off and I want the huge tire ad gone as well.

See --->

Hahaha. I see. I always have the dealerships take their logo off. I too, don't mind the license plate frames, but anything else is bad in my book!


I Feel really bad for those people that buy from BOCH though. They have the absolute worst emblems out there!
