Default Mongo's Jeep TJ

After life as a Bronco, I'm gonna give Mongo a make-over. I love Jeeps and have decided to do a Jeep build up. Picked up a Rubicon body and started hacking away. No fender flares for me. The rollcage for the Bronco body fit perfectly after lowering it a little bit. I put on some Pro-Line rims to see how they looked, and I like the black look. Don't know for sure what I'll run for wheels yet, though. Haven't decided on color yet either. Let me know what you think so far.

I've actually thought of it. I remember this TJ build Four Wheeler did from quite a while ago. Didn't they turn that TJ into a Brute? I'll have to do some research. I think it would look cool with the black done the same way on TealJ.

So I've decided to go with teal. It will be inspired by Teal-J but it will not be a replica of it. Now I just gotta find some time to get her painted. Thanks 2JSC for the inspiration.

Looks good so far. I like the odd colors they tend to break up all the Red's Blacks and Blues.


But for the record "Gay Jade" that was freakin funny.....

No problem.. (yes they turned it into a Brute)... in fact I own a '97 Teal Wrangler, so I'm a big fan of it.

I'm a fan of different colors as well, as you can tell by the color I painted Mongo.

Yes, that project is now Brute. Unfortunately it is still Teal. I love all Jeeps, but that color is hideous.

The cage was built for me by a friend, originally for the Bronco body I used to run.

I was just at the hobby shop, had the teal paint in my hand, and just couldn't do it. My TJ will be white. Boring I know, but I like white.
