I believe the white J10 stepside was on ebay, apologies for using someone else's pictures, but it shows how Superdawg will look in white... also have some pix from ebay of another white GW... At this point I'm liking the idea of having three White Jeeps. The Willys may not be stock, but it looks great in white... the Grand Wagoneer is all original, so that's perfect... and putting the J10 stepside into white doesn't appear to be a problem either... The other thoughts on the J10 stepside are: - the same color as my '99 WJ - (very nice color) - wife still thinks "black cherry" or "root beer metallic" - but white seem acceptable to anyone that looks... BTW, I may have the Jeepster sold... talked to a guy this morning that is very interested in it... so we'll see... I swapped the tires from the Jeepster to the Willys... the ones on the Willys were too big... the ones on the Jeepster seemed a bit small for it... perfect swap... same rims. Will take pictures of the Willys with the new tires... very aggressive Big-O M/Ts... 235's... almost looks like a stock type tire. john ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** http://JohnMeister.com **** http://wagoneers.com ** Snohomish, Washington USA - where Jeeps don't rust, they mold ** http://freegift.net *** http://greatcom.org/laws/languages.html ** - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 09:27:28 -0700 (PDT) From: john Subject: fsj: Re: White Jeeps and other bad ideas ok, so white on the J10 stepside might not be the best looking... pix are here: http://www.wagoneers.com/FSJ/rigs/WHITE_FSJs/ (thanx for the comments brian, terry and so on... ;) talked to my wife... she's still on the "black cherry" or "root beer" colors...
