Had the best day ever upgraded (you call them take offs) my Sport S with Rubicon suspension and steel front and rear bumpers.

About and inch higher and just a little more "seat of the pants" feeling of not drifting. I added the steel front and rear bumper at the same time so I didn't lose ride height which is why I put it on. Those bumpers are not light

hmm cool. I have a RC 2.5 lift already. I read where the shocks doesnt add height, but I guess yours did.

Looks nice. Are there any concerns that the third row is outside of the roll cage?
Yep. We got the Rock Hard 3rd row roll cage extension too! I'll post more photos as soon as we get that beauty installed.

Will the shoulder straps attached at or near shoulder height with that bar extension? Shoulder straps pulling from below is bad juju.

Really? I've never heard of that. Could you elaborate? We went with floor mounted snap ends on the seatbelts so we could remove the seat easily and until a 3rd-row manufacturer designs a better option. For now though we're super happy with it. Those racing belts actually feel more secure than the other 5 factory belts. :)

On top of the Plastidip additions I removed the MOAB logo and added the mopar third break light relocation kit. So far other than the wheels all mods are mopar or completely removable.

After: Now I feel I need to do something in the area where MOAB stickers were to break up the white.

So I have been having fun with Plastdip. Already posted about doing the front bumper tow hooks white, trail rated badge and key holes black. I have now done the Jeep emblems and the gas door, and still need to use the hobby knife to clean them up a little. I might do the the door (possibly the hood) hinges next.

I only plastdiped the door, not the frame... color match is damn close

Curious - why was your gas door not already black? Should have been from the factory.

More info here. I'm not trying to sharp-shoot. I did the same thing in my Chevelle. A drag-racer/fabricator told me that type of mounting is bad because it will cause the spine to compress under load.
