Saw this today... throwback "Comanche" Gladiator

[BourbonRunner]

This with a tan top and white grille with no stripes would be perfect.

Agree about some of the retro looks. They just work on some vehicles, the Gladiator and Bronco especially. That red Heritage Limited Bronco looks incredible.

You are correct. Been Begging Best top to come out with a tan top!!!!
Heritage Bronco is a great looking vehicle in my opinion as well!!!

I unfortunately waited too long and the wheels have been out of stock (again) for awhile. Patiently waiting so I can do something similar

I think the only way Bestop would do tan is if Jeep came out with one from the factory first. I bet if Jeep did a retro Gladiator appearance package it would be a hot seller.

We bought a Yellowstone Heritage Bronco Sport for her a couple weeks ago. It really has grown on me. Not as attractive IMO as the full size but the colors work.

Saw this one in an airport parking deck back in March.

I remember seeing pictures of this somewhere when I was toying around with going with the white wheels for my black truck for a retro look. I ended up going with chrome steelies because I didn't want to add a white stripe to tie the colors together, I think the while wheels against the black paint are too much.

Been thinking about adding some blue/light blue "Scrambler" stripes and also replacing the existing Jeep badge on the tailgate with the heritage logo (similar to Honco pic above), but keep talking myself out of it. Still trying to source the red white and blue caps for the wheels, but no luck as of yet.

One of the reasons why I bought the factory M9C retro graphics back in 2020 when I ordered mine. I dig the the old school look of my youth in the 80's. Added a hood decal, light bar, KC 6" round daylighters, the white wagon wheel rims, Jeep logo center cap vinyl decals, and rear AMC / 4wd decals / badges

Been thinking about the KC lights for my light bar as well, but just like the stuff in the post above, keep talking myself out of it.

That is so badass, the white rims were the perfect choice and I never thought I would say that.

I absolutely love the white wheels on these Jeeps

Been away from the forum for a while, but here is my take on the Honcho retro build.
Key notes, Honcho was a j series made from 78 to early 80's. Mostly a decal package, short beds, rollbar, jeep even collaborated with Levi and put 591 buttons on seats.
To keep the theme, I made a visor to mimic the old j10 roof, custom made OG Honcho graphics, made an oldschool roll bar with KC daylighters (led gravity internals), upholstered the headliner with black levi 501's, and used a motobilt bed to give it shortbed .
