Default My Friends call it a Pretender 110

Hi Guys, After realizing that the vehicle of my dreams was just out of reach due to budget constraints, I decided to convert the front end of my Wrangler to a Defender. See the attached pick. My question for you is should I go with a black bonnet or make it dark green like the rest of the vehicle. Thank you for any constructive or funny feedback.

In the process of converting my Wrangler to have the front end of the Defender of my dreams.

I'm very serious. This is actually my 2nd build. I love Defenders but, needed a less expensive route to get the look I wanted in a wrangler which I also love. I get the best of both worlds.




Converted Wrangler next to an authentic Defender.

Why not get an older Disco or P38? Way cheaper than a Defender. You’ll probably regret butchering your Wrangler.

Default I won't regret it.

I've done one build already. I won't regret it. Below is my Wrangler next to an authentic Defender.

As long as you are NOT spending my money and this makes you happy.... got nuts!

But I don't get it. This is like putting a Ferrari body kit on a Fiero or wearing a Fake Rolex.
Please save you money and get a proper Defender.

Until then this might be a great option for you.....

I believe there's an aftermarket company out there that makes a jeep roof top with safari windows. Saw it on another site somewhere...l know...not much of a lead.

Oh...and there's only one "true" pretender.
