So I gotta to move on to the next project, put on the hothead headliners and sound assassin. It is so much fun and dusty, but I got it done. The color I ordered is graphite, which I cannot really tell it from plain black.

Protip 1: get a pack of microfiber cloths ($10 from Lowe's), you need them to (1) apply acetone (2) wipe dust (3) leave them to wife and she will be happy

Protip 2: get a pack of plastic drop cloth ($10 from Lowe's), lay them down in the car before you sand the panels. That will save your day.

You notice a big difference with the spacer and throttle body kit?

You had to sand the panels? Dont the liners adhere with velcro?

I have factory liners and I think they are adhered with velcro. One was kinda hanging when i bought and i just pressed it back in.

How do your liners hold...just curious

Felt like it drove a little better too after I put mine on, wider stance I guess helps(disclosure: have since taken them off)

I installed my second winch today on my Silver Jeep Rubicon. I installed my winch for my other White Rubicon a few months ago prior to joining the Forum. Here’s some pics:
Today’s install,

I installed the Bestop Sunrider for JL. Very easy install. Yup, it is a decent product offering. Bestop has it on sale until 11/30.

Nice! How do you find the wind noise compares to the freedom panels? My freedoms creak like hell and I’m thinking this might be a nice tradeoff!!

@sost1sg

Well, I only have driven 23 miles since I installed the SR. Got up to 65 mph a couple of times. I do believe their is a positive difference with the SR in regard to what is heard when driving. I noticed it right away. I will comment more on this after driving some more.

Also, no creaking or any such noise from the SR itself.....with the SR down. Have not driven with the SR in open position yet. To frigggin cold here. Will do in Florida in soon..
