Graphic Designer / Illustrator
As an Illustrator / Graphic Designer, I am always doodling and drawing. With the hope of getting a JT early next year, my imagination has been running wild with ideas of how to dress it up and make it mine. I was sold on the Gator color from the start, so that is what I plan to get. Needless to say, I've had gators on the brain. This latest doodle has lead to some fun exploration that I thought I'd share with the community here.

(A little history) Back in my early 20s, I owned a 1990 YJ Wrangler that I dubbed LAGARTO (Spanish for lizard). I came up with a fun little lizard graphic to put on the side of my YJ. I enjoyed all the questions it prompted. People thinking I had a rare edition Wrangler. I loved that vehicle and the day I traded it in, I vowed that I would one day own another Jeep. If all goes well, that will happen early next year. In honor of my YJ, I plan to call my JT LAGARTO as well.

Enough blabbing, here's what I've come up with for my JT:

GATOR_graphic_both.jpg


Now, I know that an alligator isn't technically a lizard. But I didn't think it was too much of a stretch to link the two.

I hope Trev775 doesn't mind that I added my graphic to a photo he posted of his JT.

I have a sport. I need something to dress up my hood. Are you going to have some Decals made? Looks pretty cool.

Yes, I plan to have decals made. What do you plan to put on your hood?

I agree with everyone else. Like it alot. I'm getting a sting gray and I'm trying to come up with some ideas to make it my own.

I really like that! Looks great on the Jeep picture! Hmmm, what to do graphically, I've been thinking as well...
As a lizard lover (Jen-zard), I had to do Gator. It just made sense to me even though I know that it's not a lizard lol. I will add the Gator badge, I'm still thinking I need a lizard on there somewhere. I already have Jenzard license plates that will transfer over from my Tacoma. Maybe I can be more subtle like the Jeep Easter eggs here and there.

This is an updated version of the lizard graphic I designed for my YJ. I've considered using it on my JT.
I see you're a graphic artist. You could probably come up with something better on your own.

That's super cool also! I do have my own Logo that has a lizard in it. I may add to a window...not sure yet.

Something like this, I'm thinking I'd just take the "graphics" off and make all black
