Clearance lights for his wide ass wheels!
1970's-80's law in Va. Tires that stuck out past the flares had to have reflectors/lights to pass state inspections. Better than having DUMBO flares to cover the tires I gues . Good thing I couldn't drive back then.

The 3" BL, twin tube chrome bumpers, 12" wide wheels, fender flare lights and new BIGGER price are a turn-off for me.
Are we not gonna talk about the 3” body lift? 👁️👄👁️
Nothing says hard core more than plastic. Especially plastic diamond plate. Someone has a JC Whitney account.
That's hilarious! I remember back in the day what a great catalog that was. My dad's super beetle had every aluminum trim piece accessory you could get, for very little money! 😉
The pieces on the doors and rockers are non-skid adhesive backed stair treads from Harbor Freight.
I built a VW Karmann Ghia almost entirely from parts found in the JC Whitney catalog.
I especially like the pieces on the side mirrors. Never seen that before.
Same builder just sold his XJ.

I like the license plate.
Yup.. cause you never know when your foot will slip off the front of the mirror housing..

That's WAY better than that TJ. Actual custom work is kinda cool even if it isn't a style I'd choose. Big difference from bolting on stupid aftermarket crap.

Well, there's cool, and then there's this.
He DID sell it after a year, for under $3,000 with 270,000 miles on it. Apparently, someone else thought "The Walking Dead" was real.

Probably drove it to DC! 🤫
