Cut some magnetic vinyl to covers for those huge frame holes. Easy to remove and clean under and keeps crap out of the frame.

Got this from

But you can buy it on eBay. I got the idea years ago from Mini Cooper, they had guards as an option. I use it on the bottom of my Vespa scooters as well. I plan on cutting me some rocker covers.

Thanks much appreciated!

Must be honest though...I have OCD when it comes to my rig and cant seem to get used of the Rigid lights on the grille/winch guard. Everytime I look at the front end it looks like a pig from angry birds!!:headbang:

Any thoughts or ideas on what I can do to the grille and/or lights to change the look?? Seriously bugs the heck out of me:angry:
Have you considered a light BAR maybe? instead of the eyeballs?
Or not playing Angry Birds? (Not sarcasm, I am a video game junkee…..).

Did you do the install yourself? I ask because I was wondering if you cut your hood yourself and what you used to do so.
Just wondering how the install went, and if it included a template for the cut.
Looks great by the way.
Yes, I did the complete install. The hood is not for someone without patience. You have to cut the inner hood for one bracket and cut the outer hood for the trim. If you cut to deep on the inner hood you will go right thru to the outer hood and a trip to the body shop. My cuts were perfect without any problems. I took my time and cut a little at a time so I could keep test fitting the brackets. This is a project that beers come after and not before or during.

was an ‘18 Rubicon Mojito! now a boring Mazda
Nothing major, but added Rugged Ridge front floor mats.
Fit great, and love the tire tread.

I was looking at those. They are definitely nicer looking than the weather Tec. I have weather Tec but think I may need to change

WOW!!! You cut the hole in hood yourself?! How? And how difficult?
The cuts in the hood were done with a 1.5 inch rotary cutting wheel on a Dremel. I used the Dremel because its small and light in weight and you can get in small areas. The kit comes with a template but not good instructions. I am very technical and did it based on my way of doing things. Also, you need a steady hand.

Finally fished the drawer system, mounted the arb compressor behind it and put a connector above the fridge, as well as a cigarette lighter plug and fast charging USB ports. Modified the arb hose to fill up two tires at once.
Benefit of having the compressor in the car is that it stays much cooler compared to under the hood
The panel above the fridge is a mock up one, needs to be replaced with a new piece

Nice! Is that snorkel a 1 or 2 piece? It looks like it has a seam near the Mopar badge. Also, how does it attach to the windshield frame?

It is a 2 piece. 2 sided tape on a bracket that form fits to the windshield pillar. They did a nice job with this kit as far as fit.
