How did the install? Easy as people say it is?
I’m not sure what people say but certainly need to have the right tools and more.

Also I did this on my own so it would help to have another friend in my opinion. It was the first time I’ve ever done anything like this so those that have previous experience under their jeeps could probably do it much quicker. If I can do it anyone can.

I always thought those Factor55's look like a pacifier, so you can call it your "Baby".
People always gave me crap about mine as well.
I think I may go with the flat hook variant this time around.

@Cody6597 you and I probably have the same skill level. I'm debating on trying this on my own. The web site says 2-3 hours...wondering if that is the number of labor hours my local shop would charge (@$90/hr). If that's the case...the peace of mind might be worth $270 for the install.

Just remember to leave enough overspray to start the peel off. Also needs to be thick enough or else it won’t peel... so about 3-5 coats. Honestly I was drinking and it may have been more as I was spraying coats in between doing other things.
Thank you very much. Looks awesome. I can’t wait to do the same when she comes. The toothpick part still scares me though :(

Awesome looking JK! What top is that? I have a 2dr JL ordered with a hard top only. I'll be looking for a good soft top.

Thanks! Its a trektop pro. Loved it for the flip up rear glass. I always used the trunk area on my 2dr and having zip up windows was a pain....

Meh. Most people don't even know what a winch is, so I don't care what they think. This thing will do its job, and not cost much weight when it is sitting there. I also like the way it protects the fairlead.
