Unfortunately no. Every place I've checked online says not available yet. They said they put something out and were able to locate one from a dealer in Denver. Its a pretty large body shop that has about 50 vehicles being worked on at any given time so they probably just have some connections... Knowing my luck a JK hood will probably arrive lol. I live right by the body shop and will make sure to post some updates.
Please do, im after one and will sell mines. Thanks

This looks fantastic! Any chance you’ll do a write up?!
Since every piece involved has been was fabricated and put in, to then fab the next piece, I think the pictures are gonna be it. I will update when I have my two side pullouts made. If someone wants more detailed how to info, I can certainly point them in a starting direction.

First (small) mods on my JLU Rubicon.
The AntennaX Off Road 13 inch Antenna
The GPCA GP-Grip Pro Grab Handles

Waiting on my mopar sill guard to arrive. Now I need to go find that post about getting the antennax to sit well after install.
Not sure I'm happy with the grab handles, I'll wear them a while and see.

I remember seeing that thread too around the AntennaX sitting flush - but after installing mine, which is literally open the box and screw it on, it's pretty much almost flush. So, not sure if it was worth changing.

As for the grab handles, what's wrong with them? I was thinking about getting some.

^ wow... sorry to see those issues. It just wouldn't start eh?

Buckle up for all the pessimists to jump on this thread and talk about this issue representing ALL of the JL's, which is entirely not true.

My wheels arrived yesterday and had them put on this morning!

Thank you!

No lift at the moment. Those are Goodyear Duratrac’s LT285/70R17 on 17” Fuel Vapor Matte Black wheels with 4.5” B/S and a -12mm offset. 33’s fit nicely!
Thanks again for all this info - forgive me if I end up plagiarizing your setup... since I won't be doing much offroading, I wasn't keen on getting a lift kit esp if I can't use it as often as I'd like. But I love the looks of your setup. Do you by chance have any more pics of your setup from diff't angles? I want to see MOARRRR! :)

I'll get the lift done, eventually. I'm thinking of going with the 2.5" Rock Krawler. For now, I needed to do something about those stock all seasons. lol I would have to regear for 35s and there aren't many options at the moment from what I have read.

I'm going to have some fun with Plasti Dip this weekend if the weather is nice. I'll get some more pictures once I'm done.

I did take one shot from behind so I could see the new stance.

I had to order some extra wheel locks for the spare tire so I kept the stock on the back. I should be able to get that on tomorrow if my parts arrive.
