That's way too much chrome lol, I'd feel like I was 60
Well, I'm 68 and grew up with chrome, but that does not work for me.
Interesting choice. Lol. I had a '67 Volkswagen bug with the same color theme. But someone tried to make it look 50s like that. I quickly ditched the white sidewalls. But in the end it was a sound original build. But the 50s chrome and white sidewalls wasn't necessary. Lol.
This reminds me of those guys that think every custom thing they did to their vehicle is going add value. They always have a stack of receipts and naively think that's going to translate into a higher selling price. Directly based in their receipts. No my dude. You overspent on a bunch of crap "you like". That no one else is going to pay for.
I didn't read the specs. But it's worth whatever original parts are there. And everything he stacked on there is going to have to be replaced. So it's probably worth whatever is stock minus everything else. Yes. You may get a small payoff by selling the whitewalls or whatever. But it's gonna be weird used parts at a fraction of new.
29k? I don't think so. Maybe if you can find that other one weird dude that loves every odd style cue you spent way to much on. But even then adding custom parts does not translate into proportional increase in sale price. Far less actually. Than you paid for all that crap. And this instance it's crap nobody else would want.
This Jeep so makes no sense. Lol. A 2000s era vehicle badly styled like the 50s(?!). Ya. Not a very well know style choice.

And its not even styled like a 50's Jeep Willys.
He must be a sad little man to screw up a Jeep like that......
Lord there i go again
Please forgive me and bless all the little cannibals in Borneo.......
Lmao! You're right. I didn't even think of that. It's not designed to look like a 50s Jeep. It's a modern Jeep designed (in a half assed bad way) to look like a rockabilly 50s or something(?!). Like a Happy Days version of what someone thinks the 50s style was like. So sad.
Can you imagine this poor guys wardrobe? Lmao!
But come on?! 29k?! Delusional much?
I mean, it's different. I would probably take a look if it was at a car show, but that's about it.
I’m a huge fan of Godfather whitewalls, but not on a TJ. Having said that, I must say that if that wheel & tire combination was the only thing he had done to it (and it was strictly a town vehicle), then I would be okay with it. However, all that gaudy chrome and the bolt-on pseudo T-bird hood scoop is just ridiculous, IMHO. But hey, not my ride, not my problem. 
Build philosophy and the adherence to thereof, I only saw 2 1/2 mistakes. That piece of shit center console and they should have sent the steering wheel out for a proper wrap job. The 1/2 mistake is the hood scoop. Take it or leave it.
This is a case of if that is what you are going to do, then you did a pretty good job at it.
