Could you integrate a gearing calculator ?
Awesome! Can I get in on this? I'd love to have an option for my lights!
That's pretty cool!
How 'bout a "dented" option? ;D

I thought only jeep owners used iphones and AOL
This is too cool. A few ideas just in case you have not thought about them and hopefully not to difficult to include.
1. Model year differences such as '77 fuel doors and also '77's different location and orientation of rear side marker lights.
2. Hubcaps such as '66, 68 and 69-77.
3. hood scoops.
4. Ability to paint separate body panels so as to be able to have a black hood or duplicate the Baja paint scheme.
Val, love the concept and it could certainly be a hit. The wheels with holes could be referred to as modulars. There are endless possibilities and options. I'd really like to see interior shots with seating options, dash layout and steering wheels. Great stuff, didn't know you made apps, are you building it yourself.
Very cool!
Since we reproduce all the orignal decal styles (66 rocker, Ranger, Explorer and Special Decor), I'd love to see those added!
If you need some info such as stripe widths or something, I should be able to help. I'm not sure if the vector cutting files would help you or not?
What about a web version, building it out on a phone wuld be too small but on a 24" PC screen would be better.
This looks really cool! I believe it's BC Broncos that has the Autobiography listing all the mods, parts, donor vehicles, etc.. It has fill in the blanks for way more information than anyone could possibly fill out. You may want to contact them and see about collaborating and adding that database to your app as a joint venture. How great would it be to be able to go to the parts store and have the serial # for your ZF trans or the model and year of the donor vehicle for your EFI, shock lengths, fluid requirements, and on and on..
You have to charge vendors to have their products on your app. LOL. Again, can't wait to see it up and running.
Actually you should vend their product thru the app and take a commission, recurring revenue with low up front is a win-win. Are you doing all the modeling for this? vendors may have cad models which will be to spec and save you a lot of time. You should look at PhoneGap as a way to deliver it to all platforms, it's 100% web technologies that compile to the mobile platforms. You build it as a web app and compile it to a mobile app.

GREAT idea for vending lowbush, that WOULD be great. Yes, I have done all of the modeling for the bronco app. Hmm, never thought to check whether or not the vendors have CAD files, another excellent idea! I don't know anything about phoneGap, but will look into it. I was just going to use Unity, though I don't have any experience with it either. Interesting, thanks so much.
Unity was going to be my other suggestion, it will keep you out of writing openGL code for it, which is nice.
Thanks so much for the feedback everyone!
Crap, do I have it on the wrong side? The good news is none of the under-carriage is actually done. Well the frame is, but coils, shocks, etc need to be completed.
Great idea with the sport/ranger packages and I love the idea of including vintage stickers!
Unfortunately the bronco trims are way off as I've been just grabbing reference images from the web, along with using my 76 bronco (sport). For example I have chrome stuff (e.g., wing window frame, reflector bezels), over time the parts get mixed-and-matched. I'd love it if I could actually start with the actual base model parts and then offer the different trims via buttons.
Thanks, exactly what I wanted to know; what kind of things everyone is interested in. Pre-runner and plate bumpers...check. Yes, we can do chrome and painted wheels, mirrors, etc.
My husband and I thought it'd be fun to add a "rusted" option, as well as one for adding mud.
Thanks guys, keep the ideas coming...
