Bought the same one...its AWESOME. Little bit of a pain to install but totally worth contorting your body in able to tighten the bolts.
I installed mine this morning, and I'd say you need to be an absolute contortionist to get it installed. One hint for anyone who is installing one. As you try to fit the pedal assembly onto the backing plate, you risk knocking the backing plate bolts out of the holes where it will fall away to an inaccessible spot. Here's the key: Once you fit the backing plate bolts through the holes, shove a thick piece of wood or other stiff material between the backing plate and the firewall, so that you can safely install the pedal assembly and get the nuts tightened. It's also very challenging to reach the nuts so use a ratchet set with a long extension so you can get good leverage on the nuts.

Did her nails, took a detour on a grocery run, and erased all evidence of fun.

Also installed cargo mats and all weather mats. Nobody needs more pictures of those. Considering a full carpet delete for the winter.

Totally agree on the doing the nails. Simple job that adds a lot I think.

Yeah, pain to install, but worth it. I installed mine on Thursday.

Looks good, how did you "delete the carpet" - do you have to unbolt the seats???

I had my dna tested with 23&me and found out I was Neanderthal. Wonder if we're related? :) On a more serious note the more I see this color the more I dig it. Nice Jeep
