or a racecar. :(

Nice. If you are going to take it off road much, get rid of the nerfs and put real rocker protection on. You wont regret it!

I'll second that. Lots of good info and from a real Jeeper. Stu is one heck of a guy!

Welcome to the addiction!

That's an understatement. Just don't feed the trolls and if they get too annoying use a filter, they really help!

Welcome to the group! There are some great people here and you can get excellent advice and info on your Jeep from this bunch, enjoy and just try to ignore the noise.

Great suggestion on the BFG MT's or AT's. I'm running the MT's on my '84 CJ and the AT's on my wife's '94 Land Rover Defender 90. Both are great tires (I don't work for BFG, honest). Zelix, you mentioned you're thinking of a lift. If you want more info on sizing, go to:

Don't listen to those other guys about emptying your pockets on this rig. As far as I know, I've only spent about $5500 on my Jeep...that's when I quit counting...

Welcome!

Welcome to the addiction.

Nothing like a jeep to remove that extra weight from your wallet.

Anyone who thinks Jeep ownership involves more than minor pocket change never owned a boat.... :-(

HAHA you beat me to it.

If that's a '97, you have Emerald Green Pearl Coat, just like mine.

It's a hard color to photograph. It's a bluish green. Some digital cameras make it blue and others make it green even if you play with the color temperature. Blue and green are close in wavelength.

I think the OP should paint the fenders black. It would look good, and be much easier than trying to get them back to the original color, unless you strip off the dark green paint and figure out what color primer / base coat the factory used.

AND, if you want to do it right, you should remove the fenders to paint them, and at that point, you might as well look at some after market wide fenders for when you get bigger tires .

Actually, after digging out my "The Jeep Book" from 1997 the following colors are listed:

• Lapis Blue
• Flame Red
• Black
• Stone White
• Citron Pearl
• Bright Jade Satin Glow
• Moss Green Pearl Coat
• Magenta
• Dark Blue Pearl Coat
• Emerald Green Pearl Coat

Your picture looks more like moss green.

I've got a lot of the TJ dealer stuff for Jeeps and accessories for the first few years. The last is an accessory book for 2005. Is there a site I could scan these and upload them for all?

Did you hear they just released a new Barbie doll called "Divorced Barbie" for $350? Yeah, it comes with half of Ken's things and alimony. God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O mailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com

Hi Pete thanks for the reply and link. I just order JP Magazine last week. My JEEP has a small lift already I think. It seems more lifted than my buddies sarahara of the same year.

I have some serious projects I wanna do to the jeepy. I dont really want huge tires though. I wanna get some fog lights and a class 3 hitch to begin with.
