My first Jeep

I bought my first Jeep this summer. It is an 02 TJ with a 2" body lift with 33" bfg allterrains. its got 6" bushwacker fender flares, two front fender KC daylighters and two foglights, . here are the links to some pictures. Let me know what yall think!

this is a picture of my front fender. when the guy i bought the jeep from painted it he used the wrong paint and it turned out like this:

some info about what paint is right would be great.

Jeep looks good, but not really a big fan of bushwacker flares though. It's yours make it your own and have fun with it.

nice lookin jeep. lt looks like it needs to be cleaned up a bit. and for the bumper i would suggest wire brushing it down because it looks like it was just painted right over the rust, and then repaint it with rustoleum or just Herculine it like many others do. if ya wanna make a real change.. its a good excuse to throw on a rock crawler bumper

Btw how many miles on this?

Great looking Jeep overall and keep us updated (include pics Always)

here is what my jeep looked like a few weeks ago:


it needed a little bit of work on it (especially the front bumper which looked like this:


so i went to work and took the front and back bumpers off, stripped all the paint off and repainted them using rustoleum hammered black rattlecan.. they turned out looking awesome!!!:




also i added a light bar with 4 100W blazer lights that i picked up at advanced for only 20 bucks apiece and my new banner



and here is what all them lights look light in the dark (yes i know one of them is not working):
