DO you have a link for these inserts?

You can get them on Amazon. Several color choices.

Interesting. I didn’t think the JL would fit 16’s. Very nice!

They are a very tight fit, I'm guessing that not all 16's will fit. The rears have barely a credit card worth of space between the caliper and wheel.

Installed a windshield sticker . My daughter loves it !

Also trimmed the air dams to reinstall to protect fog light Haven’t installed back on the front bumper yet tho

From the inside

Love the stickers. My son would love that. Where did you find it?

...and the keyhole on the JL mopar locking gas cap I bought was too small for the JL’s key.

That happened to me. I used a drill bit and slotted it bigger. It’s not as pretty as before but it does work perfectly now.

Added mag lite and poison spider roll cage holster. Anyone know if alkaline batteries will survive the summer heat in the jeep or am I gonna be looking at a mess in the mag lite in a few weeks?

Also added some cup holder accent mats!

No, the u bends on the uprights were too tight, wouldn't slide over the edge of the lock insert. And one of the bolt holes doesn't line up. That one might be my fault.

how did you get it to line up? I tried installing, but that one bolt hole near the guide arm won't line up, and there is no room to get a screwdriver in there to tighten it seems?

Installed Bluetooth underbody rock light kit

I made an executive decision that by leaving that one out it was still pretty secure. No bolt there. Also make sure you have the sides right, the bolt holes are different on each side.

The holes on mine near the arm didn't not match up either I opened it up with a drill, also on the passenger side a weld was too large for lower bracket to be fitted to the lid.
I ended up grinding down the weld and pre fitting the entire unit out of the console. After that it went in easily.

Thanks! I was about to send mine back, but figured I'd give it one more try knowing that others are having similar fit issues. I was thinking of drilling out the one set of holes that don't quite match to be able to get the last one in, so maybe I'll give that a try. For the moment it was installed minus two bolts, it still seemed super secure and would need significant tools and effort for someone to break into it!
