The paint is a beautiful flame job - it was painted in a fading manner from the nose to about half the door with a light blue, almost the factory teal color, but lighter, then flames starting at the nose with white fading into the yellows, oranges and reds, etc. This was highlighted and outlined to give the appearance of floating, and covered with 3 coats of purple pearl fading to the rear to be topped off with 5 coats of clearcoat.

Lee Anne's 1997 Sport

Lee Anne bought this baby in December of '96. She hasn't had the funds to do any real modifications except to the stereo, which is now a Kenwood CD changer.

As it is, this TJ has been up to the bumper in mud in Florida, North Carolina, and Hawaii.

"In a little over a year I have put over 17,000 miles on this Jeep. It's never given me any problems. I love this machine..."
