Installed an 80mm Hemi throttle body and spacer (that I scored from a buddy who works for a shop that specializes in HEMIs) to go with the K&N CAI and exhaust. Perfect fit and easy installation. See how it does...

Ok, I get why but a few questions
1. What size is the Jeep's stock throttle body?
2. Is the intake inlet opening 80mm or larger?
3. Did you do before and after dyno's of just the throttle body change?

I have a trail dash and just leave mine plugged in - for live features like ESS disable and auto park disable it needs to stay connected. To return to stock for dealer visits it needs to be plugged in - I would just leave it.
Yeah that makes sense. I’ll leave it for now then. Thanks for the help!

I used the same dashcam mount as you but mounted it a bit differently. I pulled off the plastic bezel around the rear view mirror and noticed two bolts hanging down from the frame that were not used.

I noticed that the dash cam isn't perfectly aligned in this pic so I went back and fixed it but I didn't bother taking another pic.

It may be possible to put the plastic bezel back on but it would require some trimming. I'm not going to bother because it is hardly noticeable IMO.
That's tucked away nice !

my first attempt on putting any type of vinyl on a vehicle :fingerscrossed: We both decided we like how the hood looks now, gill is still debatable. We will let it ride for a few days, see if we can get used to it lol

Nice! Are those hard to apply? Love the side vents.

thanks Grady, you gotta set what your expectations are when installing it yourself or paying someone. I have no experience, will it be 100%? I graded myself a 90. Would definitely do a better job second time around as most things. Best newbie advice I could give is lay plastic over engine bay during disassembly, don't want to lose anything in that abyss lol. Also the soapy solution has to be right. I didn't have enough soap initially. You will know right away even though you soak the surface and product generously it still felt sticky and unable to move vinyl around. Right amount, you can easily push it around without effort to get your edges lined up. Couple of pics to show you what you have to take off after the insulation is removed. We like the hood, still 50/50 on the side vents

First really sunny day here in a while. Got my first wash and detail after ceramic coating and PPF. Really amazing stuff and looks awesome in the sun. Dealer also just washed another JL that had ceramic done 7 months ago. The Falken AT tires and chrome wheels look awesome on the black JL.

Received my custom patches from omlpatches.com thanks to @paulr and the thread he started. Great quality and pretty quick delivery.

Got this roll-up combination wrench toolkit. I like this one because it has larger wrenches. Pretty much every "kit" I have stops at 19mm.

Also, if you haven't seen it, TrailRecon has a recent video talking about the tools he carries. Very good watch, IMO.

Not that I know anything about using said tools and all but I just watched that video yesterday!! Lol

My Jeep is coming this summer. Guess I need to start learning more about repairs & maintenance first hand.

Jeep looks great with the wash and detail!

Put on my KC 6” Gravity lights. Just haven’t wired them up yet as the wiring harness was missing from my shipment :/

Nice! Spots, driving or floods? I just ordered a set of spots for my cowl.
