I missed posting my new bumper last weekend, but here's what I did today... bolted on some new shoes! Oh and I swapped out the rocker guard for one that acts as a side step. Lift kit goes on tomorrow (sort of just how scheduling everything ended up working out).

Brand new Granite Crystal 2021 JLR with AEV Borah Wheels (no protection/beadlock ring) and traditionally-mounted 37x12.5r17 BFG A/T KO2 tires. Cant wait to get these on the trail!
Looks nice, what rock guard/step is that?

doesn't seem like it fits as snug on the inner tray compartment as the AEV version:

Another consideration Mopar spec is 4.5 inches of lift and AEV is 3.5 inches so the fitment may be something to overlook or just the extra inch of lift. It is pretty funny that Mopar would not make there's fit like AEV's though

AEV's base is apparently also compatible with the Hi-Lift Jack making it a more multi-function base.

Where did you get your black grill. I found a mopar one for $350 one time, but I lost the website. I like the look of the black grill personally.

I have seen the Spartan and the Tread styles as well as all the other styles in person...

....Those look really good on your JL... Pictures in general don't do the caps justice, I have found... they look so much better in person..

Just treat those DI Labs key hole caps with a little 303 Protectorant once in awhile......

That other cap offering you had... from the other source.... Well, 12 months ago I installed a set of those on my JL and another set of those on my Son's JK. I kept my caps treated with 303 Protectorant and my Son did not treat his at all.... My JL was in Florida for months in the Sun and my Son's JK was in NY. The caps on the JK faded a bit and to this day the caps on the JL that spent months in Florida look like new... Sun raises hell with plastic..... 303 really protects plastic from the Sun..

Added my light cubes/pods from my tractor to the Jeep. Finally found a mount I liked. And added plug and play led bulbs. Have to wait till it gets dark out to see difference.

Can you please share details on how you did this? Source and cost please?
Found one here in the marketplace. Paid $450, it came with the bezel and the unlock code. Simply 10 minute job to unplug my old unit snd plug this one in. Well worth the upgrade. You do lose your volume know so can only control with your steering wheel controls. They do make an upgraded HVAC unit that has radio controls if desired.
