[Mordin Solus]

Finally had time to grab some decent pics. Nothing fancy, but it did capture the Punk’n color nicely.

Thanks Alex! She is a ham but very photogenic! Lol!
Currently I have the Yuneec Typhoon Q500 4K drone and hopefully soon I'll be getting their new, incredible Typhoon H Plus.
I had made a suggestion a while back on this thread for folks to pick up a GoPro. Even the latest-n-greatest one (Hero6 Black, which is what I have) isn't too expensive; and the things you can do with it (with a little imagination) is awesome! Plus the Hero5 Black & Hero6 Black is waterproof up to 30 feet right out of the box! No more having to add the waterproof container. I'd actually like to have 2! My Christmas wish list just keeps getting longer & longer! Lol!
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for all the helpful tips!

One of the reasons I love this forum! I have an appt at the dealership this Friday and at least now I can show them what the rattle is! Took a look and my piece of plastic on the passenger's side is almost off, only being held on at the top. Driver's side doesn't rattle, but isn't very secure. I'll have them look at that as well. Thank you!!!!

Window tint? If so, which tint did you choose? Love the look of your rig

Well...the pictures are really nice; however, considering how beautiful Austin is, I think you should have done better with the background scenery! Lol we will give you another chance!

I had my first opportunity to spend some real time in my wife's wrangler. Driving from SE PA to Connecticut and back. Loved the ride. Acceleration is good, braking is good, handling was nice. Most of the ride at 70-80 mph. Bumps in road on curves at those speeds are a bit adventurous but I'm very impressed. Fuel tank range was close to 400 miles and about 25 mpg.

Tint is what I got from the factory

I am considering removing my silencer and opening up the vents for better flow. I will also get a lower thermostat next spring after the winter months

I noticed mine were loose the last time I had my top off. From what I remember, they each cover a drain line that runs down from the channels where the freedom panels seat against the top.

Why fool with it...

Hello all! After months of research, I finally purchased my 2018 2 door JL Sport S and couldn’t be happier! I want to thank everybody for their advice, opinions, and positive attitudes. I was going to place an order, but for a variety of reasons I decided to wait until one I liked arrived at the dealer lot. When the perfect Wrangler arrived, I began my negotiations; two weeks later, I drove it home!

Mordin, I know you've told us before, but where'd you get the black grill?

@BostonBilly

Each cover covers up wires going up to speakers, etc. Wire are black in color and do visually stand out if uncovered.

Yes, if hard top is removed it would be easier to get to the covers and deal with them somehow.
