New guy here, this is a very welcome site for me & I'd like to thank you guys for you knowledge, comments & experience on our Tj's, very cool info here. I have a Red 04' Sport hard top w/Rt hand drive, (postal employee here) I have added a Rancho 2 1/2" rock-crusher lift, Mopar Euro grill guard, Rino lined interior, Daves safari cargo rack, Class III reciever, Hella Drivers, Rocker guards w/step, Optima red top, 31/10-50/15's on OE Canyons. I ordered the Jeep and completed these mods within a couple months of new ownership. Now 4 yrs later I'm getting bored, whats your opinion on Chrome & Stainless mods? Steve

IMO - the only chrome, or bling that is allowed are wheels... and maybe those big tube bumpers, but those are pushing it

Seriously though - if ya wanna ad some chrome, go for it. Just might not be what everyone likes as long as you do.

IMO chrome only belongs on motorcycles. I like the utility look that blacking everything out gives the jeep, but w/e you like I'd say go for it. If you're bored maybe a new paint job or convert everything to black instead.

Chrome is nice, but I prefer the black powder coated stuff.

Chrome on a black jeep is still pretty hot, but as mine is white I like the black stuff on it.

Chrome won't get you home.

But, it's your Jeep. You do whatever you want with it.

whats wrong with chrome??? black looks like you ran out of money to get it finished. then again, its seems like everyone elses opinions are the ones that seem to count.

 

[debruins]

If your gonna be buying shiny stuff you might as well buy things that add to the offraod ability and not just replacing stuff
heres some ideas;

Black won't get you back

Here is a totally deferent opinion, I love the shine. Stay away from chrome, it rust quick. Go stainless. Lots less cleaning required. Chrome may not get you home, but the Jeep will, and the chrome just keeps you looking good on the way.

[mrbigjeep]

Black won't get you back

black always gets me back...

but the chrome keeps lettin me down

 

[foxinthemudd]

that doesn't rhyme by good try...I guess.

 

[mrbigjeep]

what are u talking about. i wasn't trying to rhyme. i was telling my experience.

 

[foxinthemudd]

oh... its all about the skill...lol

 

[bluvikng]

You all are forgetting, that he delivers the mail. PUT all the Chrome on, you want, so we will feel better about paying so much, for stamps............

 

[Walkeraviator]

shiny is cool as long as you dont over do it. shiny hood hinges, and window hinges, and footman loops, and grills are all too far... but some nice stainless fuel door, tube bumpers, and light guards arent bad. Like he said... avoid chrome it never lasts.

 

[cnt487]

Just let me say if I may, that chrome is gay, but it will get you to the bay, and maybe a lay in the hay, yes, it just may!!! :wavey:

Chrome Schmome!!!

 

[Odhinn]

All personal preference, I prefer quality steel in my mods but if they look good it's a bonus. Not my speed but if it were I would go with the stainless, powder coated, or the blued finish on a Red Jeep. Chrome looks good on Black only IMO.
