    First of all I'd like to say Hi.. This is my first post. I just bought a 74 Cj5, and need some help. Mostly I need some parts.
    I also need help with a font. Any idea??

    Welcome from Clarksville! You will notice the more you study Jeep, the less you know......There is no consistent any thing in the Jeep world. Just borrow a logo you like and copy it!

    The reason I ask.... My Jeep isn't exactly stock, so I want to use this font for the "Renegade" decals on the hood. Something different. I'll also buy the decals in the picture for the body and tailgate if someone can do them.

    I don't know that there were ever decals for the "Jeep" letters. The factory painted them. Maybe someone is making them now.

    Reproducing the "Jeep" letters is easy. Having the same font to do "renegade" is the tough part. Maybe there's some graphic guys out there that could help me out??????????????

    Actually, I recall Jeep did go to a sticker at some point for the side lettering. But I think it happened in the 80s sometime, at the earliest.

    But all of our Jeeps were painted.

    The Renegade stripes have always been vinyl appliques.

    OK, right out of the gate.... this is kinda going towards the modified side of the forum rather than the strictly stock. That being said, I took a stock graphic that was used on the body and tailgate and created hood letters for my project to match.
