Bronze has been the "in" color at SEMA for a few years now or at least, when it comes to wheels anyway and this clean looking black, JL Wrangler Unlimited Sahara, built by Body Guard and out in the DUB display, was a nice example of how it can be done well. No, it's not something I would wheel but as far as SEMA builds go, I think they did a real nice job oc complimenting the glossy black paint with bronze accents.

As you can see, this JL is rockin Dana UD60 axles both front and rear. This is something we've been seeing a lot of here at SEMA.

Another thing we've been seeing a lot of is JL's running coilovers. This one is made by Rebel and a big part of why this JL looks so tall.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the light bar or roof rack but from what I've seen, it's something a lot of JL guys seem to want.

If you've ever tried lifting a 40" tire, you'd know that carrying one on the roof is not something you'd want to do. At least, I wouldn't.

Body mounted rocker guards like seem to be all the rage here at the 2018 SEMA show.

Not a fan of black with bronze accents...but bronze with black accents works for me...

And a 40 on the roof is not only impractical, it significantly changes your cog...

Those fenders look gay... Just had an image of someone pushing the spare off the roof and it bouncing back into the door.

I like the overall look of the Jeep, but to fancy for the trail. I have to wounder how many people are strong enough to get that tire and wheel combo out on the roof on that Jeep unassisted. I am a strong guy, but after a long day, that might be a big lift on uneven ground with out fucking up the whole side of your Jeep.

As for a SEMA build, I kind of like it. I would change out location of spare as others have mentioned. The wheels are a bit busy for my tastes

I don't think I'd tell the guy that lifted that 40" spare on the roof rack that it looks cool but shit for anything else.

Is it me or is this the first one you've come across that had the steering stabilizer relocated out of the way a bit?
