What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

Apparently I’m just a big kid. T rex is happy though.
The most important modification to date......

I added GPCA Grip Pro handles! They are great! I had to fold the flaps in to fit between the straps for my Spiderweb Sunshade in the front. I folded the ones in the back also to match the front. They were nice to hold onto while hitting the sand dunes.

I'm pushing 6'4" tall and had driver seat lowered by 1.5" by having foam removed from the rear of my seat cushion by an auto upholstery place. Feels great and my head isnt right by the soundbar. Here's the foam removed:

Also had a 8" jl audio sub added, but cant find a good place to mount it. Any ideas?

My last jeep was a TJ so forgive my ignorance but This spot on the tailgate is to hold a beer, right?

That is the actual function, yes.

Installed the new Lange original simple lift for JL and she went topless. Pretty tough install...the directions are laughable.

What bulbs did you go with?

The switch backs

Installed the LOD spare tire riser. Seems really sturdy and ready to test out the lightly used 37s I picked up cheap to see if I will be happy with that size for a daily on my JLUR.

Got some new socks and shoes. Fuel Assault 18x9 with +1 offset and Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/70/18. Needless to say she's stuffed and needs a little lift!

Installed my new Rugged Ridge mesh top. Laid a light weight fleece blanket over the top of it to quiet the wind noise and create a little heat buffer. Trick I've done with my past JKs to beat the Phoenix 110 degree heat.

Also bought a used cargo mat system for the rear. I don't have clips or the gap hider so I modified them a bit until I can buy clips and the gap piece assembly.

Last I took off the steel bumper end caps and went all stubby with it. And you said a Sport S isn't cool. Take that!

Beautiful. How long does it take to put the roof on/off now that you have this? I've been waiting on the power top but this might be a better option.

About 15 minutes total:
1. 1 minute- Back car in garage
2. 2 minutes- Remove freedom tops and lean against wall
3. 5 minutes- Use $20 handheld battery powered drill to remove the 8 bolts(2 near freedom top + 6 in back on hardtop)
4. 1 minute- unhook electrical & washer fluid line at tailgate
5. 5 minutes- Position 1 rear hook and screw on 2 side connectors and attach lift webbing
6. 1 minute- Use drill to raise lift

FYI...The install took me about 4.5 hours, bc I ended up needing to follow a JK tutorial on youtube and my studs are different widths due to our garage being built in 1930s. I also had to adjust the cables and straps several times to get it to hang properly.

Are the back windows lighter than front? Can’t see the diference well

Better late than never in replying here...

As I understand it, the back windows are roughly 20% from the factory. I did my fronts at 35%, which is relatively lighter. The percentage in this context basically refers to the amount of light that's allowed to pass through the tint -- so the lower the percentage, the darker the effect.
