Got it from JFtops.com ! No way to order through the website but the guy who runs it, Jon, is extemely helpful and answers quickly. And there’s nothing else like it on the market. Now I just need a cargo net to strap my gear on top.
What is the cost? I could not find that on the site either. Don’t want to bother him if I know I’m not going to be willing to pay what he is asking.

Jeep Wrangler JL What did you do TO your Jeep JL today? ima
Welll...I actually made a keyfob foil-wrapped case for Lil'Hulk:

The case is foil wrapped and reinforced with metal hair pins.Then wrapped with green cloth and glued tightly. Then it's taped all around to be "water proof". I glued the green ribbon on the case and taped it temporarily until the glue sets. This case is to prevent anyone from copying my key fob signal/code and then using it to drive my vehicle without my fob.

This is a real threat according to our local area news: https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/aluminum-foil-can-protect-key-fob-from-hackers/285-572154341

I realize that this may defeat the purpose of keyless entry for some, but I have manual locks, so it works perfectly for me...I have to use the key to open my doors anyway. However this is still a nice idea to protect your vehicle when it's parked overnight near your home. Thieves are also able to go to the front door and copy the code because most people keep their keys near the front door...and the signal can be copied/works within 30ft to unlock and start your vehicle!

I took my stock Sport S number and bolted on a like new Rubicon steel bumper I bought off CL.
Did you take any pics of the holes you had to size-up to mount it? Pics of the finished product too, of course.

Installed my custom @pixeldecals on my Jeep today:

Here's the inspiration:

I also got a Jeep Wave/paw decal and added it to the driver's mirror (the doors are hanging up right now):

These go along with the custom plate I picked up last week:

Everything lined up after some loosening of the brackets. The piece between the grill and bumper goes back on but doesn't line up like it did with the old bumper. I'll get a different pic later.

Had question for ya, if you don't mind. I still have stock suspension on my Sport S. Only looking to go to 33" tires. Do you think that will fit in factory set up ? What are the shocks and springs you put in ? Would just some spacers work ? I'll be camping mostly, no rock climbing so not looking for big set up. Appreciate it.
I had Rubi springs and shocks installed. The 33s I had installed yesterday fits with more than enough room. The total fender height change was about 2 inches. I may add a 3/4 spacer up front and in the rear once they come out (rear).

Can someone Please help me?! Are there any particular websites out there ANYWHERE to get that brow/angry look for a JLU? I’m being told there is nothing at all like it for a 2018 JLU.
