Installed Rigid Industries LED back up lights. Very small. 1”x1”. Diffused light pattern helps out a lot without being too bright.

You installed on steel or plastic bumpers

nothing but a regular red LED Maglite with some generic stickers that i had laying around. Looks legit, didn't cost $h!+.

Had lineX do their thing yesterday. I tried to take a pic to show what the underbody looks like after the rust proofing and undercoating.

Can you tell us how much this was to do?
Are you happy with how well they covered?

I bought the complete ValueGard package from my dealer which included the rust proofing and undercoating that you see, along with fabric and paint protection for $899. If I recall correctly, when I asked lineX about the rust proofing and undercoating, they quoted me $250.

I had ziebart on my TJ and I was not happy with it. But I had this done to my 2017 JKU when we bought it and I have seen no rust on the frame or underbody. I even ran an endoscope inside the frame to check and nothing so far. The coverage is excellent and I am very happy with it.

Those look great! How is the ride quality compared to stock? We're having the ST2.5" lift installed, and I can't make up my mind between these and the 2.1 Falcons. Thanks!

I finally got my Falcon 3.3’s on and my Motobuilt diff covers installed.

Ordered the Gobi Stealth roof rack today. Apparently you have to wait a long time for it to be made, like 12+ weeks. I thought the waiting game was done once my Jeep was delivered.

Did they give you an estimated shipping date? I've been looking to get one and would have thought they'd have shortened their production time by now since it's not much different than the JKU rack.

Great looking Jeep, Mike, congratulations! It's a shame you are moving so slowly on the tweaks and mods (ha!) and it looks like you are enjoying the process, as it should be. I see you opted to swap out the Rubi rock rails for the "sahara" style Mopar step. My shortish Mrs really wants me to consider that move, too, after she saw them both at the dealership, but I am hesitant to remove the rock rails. . . "just in case" my wheeling attempts get out of hand. Did you have the dealer make the swap? And are you loving them so far?

You need help? Give us a signal so we can relieve you of your distress. Can those be flipped, look like Velcro attachments?

I can not honestly answer that just yet. I have not drove it much due to work. I can tell you that you can tell a difference in set points, as I have had time to play with that briefly.

Dealer removed the rails for me in case factory attached too vigorously but they don't trade parts. I'm 5'9" with arthritis so getting in and out with rails is a little difficult. And I don't do any heavy duty rock climbing so the steps are ok for me. I still have the rails so I'll see if anyone locally wants to buy them.
Next are the lights and a Magnaflow axle back muffler. I have one on my JK and it sounds great. I know the spot lights I think I'll get plus I have the rear and side lights just need to decide on the driving lights. Still can't decide on driving lights - Baja, KC, Rigid are pretty expensive and the Chinese lights spread light all over the place. Mainly want a wider light to supplement the headlights to see the ditches far ahead for deer, antelope and moose.
Final decision is how/where to mount the front license plate. With the steel bumper there isn't much flat space and the ones that put them down low won't pass muster here.
