Not a damn thing! It’s still in the shop getting repaired for hail damage. Hopefully next week I’ll get it back looking like new.

Installed the Sunrider for Hardtop

and installed some RokBlokz quick release mud flaps. (wish i would have got the rear ones too...maybe I'll order some. Mainly was sick of snow and ice collecting on the rear fender and blocking the door...)

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

yikes. I'll wait for a day my kids are gone to try that one. Maybe I'll start with the vents and the little decals I got.

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?

The stock throttle body is 71mm. Not sure of the exact measurement of the intake inlet but the next step would be a ported and polished intake(after warranty ends). No dynos yet, just real world testing for now. Kinda being a test mule for a local Mopar performance shop who sells the kit for the JKs and needed someone to test it on the JL.

It did take me a few hours to get mine how I wanted it, and I only have a single (just matte black, no red). Love how it cuts sun reflection and glare, totally worth it!

Installed the Metal Cloak rear diff skid plate & swapped out the pain-in-the-ass Go Rhino mounts for a pair of Diode Dynamics. Plenty of flexibility to pivot cubes outwards and the windshield can be lowered.

Got my plates after 10 months waiting. 1st choice TOP PIN was rejected due to the Urban Dictionary. Who knew, little rediculous but whatever... ELK HNT works .. get it on the Jeep tomorrow

So they kick back the seemingly harmless "TOP PIN" (I had to look it up.... I had no idea it was a thing) and no one thought to say 'ELK HNT' three times fast? ;)

Winch plate came in so was able to move winch from my TJ to the JLU. Kinda a pita. Added warn grill guard.

No pics cause I hate taking them. Next weekend Roam frame mount steps and 35s.

I’ve been looking at those flaps for the front and back. Can you let me know if you think they’re worth the $$ in a week or two?
