Im 16 and chrome is ok only to an extent... and jeep wheels being chrome is a definate nono. Some cars it looks good on, but the bezels look really nice matching your jeep, even in a black they look sharp.

Wow, painting the bezels really changed the look of your bumper! I'm gonna try that one!

I installed a 300 Watt Rat Shack inverter over the weekend and integrated the outlets & switch into my dash. Kinda like in this write-up.
The Radio Shack 2-outlet inverter was around $100, but you can find less expensive models. I think Wally World has a single-outlet 400 Watt inverter for about $40.

I've got key rings on mine, I could only imagine the flapping those things would do on the highway.

That's a pretty cool idea with the inverter. Does anyone know if 300-400 watts will run power tools fine? Like a grinder or power drill? I would assume so since it says it will run a 20" TV. I found a 400watt 2 socket inverter at radio shack here for 60$ Canadian. Now I just have to find room in my YJ dash, it's a bit tighter to the firewall than TJ's.

I don't know if that is sarcasm or not but I'll reply. Why not just peel them off. Mine came off super easy, granted they are old, if your newer one's don't peel so nice just use some 'goo gone' on the sticky left over.

No, its not sarcasm, I'd really like to know. I tried the hair dryer and a heat gun but nothing worked. I got the labels off of the drivers side but the passenger side has been a PITA !!! I tried Goo B Gone but that took way too much elbow grease. At this point I'm just looking for the easy way out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

why not just take the visors off alltogether? they're not that big a help anyway. Mine are gone. I've replaced them by hooking a sunvisor around the rear-view mirror.

I believe that they meant to SWAP the visors(Driver to pass, pass to driver) and re-install ( my guess)
1)Trim each side of the front bumper to desired length and perhaps gut an angle on it.
2)Hook up some offroad lights and get creative on wear you put them. Not just on the bumper...
3)4" angle iron 1/4" thick makes a great rear bumper, and weld a reciever hitch to it. Taper the corners on both sides.
4)And dont forget that, "Stickers add horsepower!"

you could spray paint the visors black, hence, covering up said warnings!! That's what I did 2 years ago. No problems since
