I like the look of the blackout on the tailgate. Almost all of the ones I have seen or that google shows are not on a black JT. Has anyone seen or done this to their black Gladiator? I am going with similar orange accents as the Mojave.


* The first picture is not my JT. Used for an example. I pulled it off a Google search so if it is yours I'm not claiming it.

* The second is a shot of my tailgate.

I'd like to use this but try and match my factory M9C factor retro graphics color and not wrap around the taillights onto the bed sides. Just leave it on the tailgate itself

Instead of paint would a "wrap" color be easier to match? Then if it's off just remove the wrap. I'm no expert on this just an idea.

A black Mojave with a flat black with orange accent tailgate wrap would look awesome! Doooo it!

This is what I did. I love the look of the painted letters.

I bought a new set of letters with fresh adhesive, it wasnt that much. Had a shop paint them.

I'm a big fan of that tailgate look. This is mine which is Sting Gray. I had the letters done in the satin black as well, but had the red layer outline show.

Are you guys wrapping or getting those stripes painted?
I'm a painter, so I'm considering it, especially after some of these examples (lookin' good).
Maybe outlining the matte black and the letters in the same orange as the Mojave decal.

And as a side note, those flush-mounted Oracle tail lights would look killer with this setup.

I love the retro vibe you have going on here. Down to the wagon wheels, white letter tires, and is that a vintage AMC badge on the lower right tailgate?

Mine is a wrap, and I'm awaiting the Oracle lights arrival.
