I had mine done at https://eastcoastgearsupply.com/ they’ve done at least 7 JL wranglers at the time of this writing. They are very knowledgeable and have a friendly staff with a nice shop and clean facility. If you like shooting guns there’s a gun range right across the street there’s also a place to go canoeing about a mile down the road. So you even have options while you’re waiting for the install to be done. I see you’re in central Florida which puts you about 8hrs and 30min. away from them which is exactly how far I am away from them being in central Ohio. It’s worth the little trip for peace of mind knowing it’ll be done by a reputable shop.
Thanks for the info, but I’m lucky enough to have a great 4x4 shop 20 minutes away. George’s Off Road Designs, he’s done over a hundred gear swaps over the years, besides I’m still thinking about doing it myself....:facepalm:

You can use rigid or other fog lights. The opening or mounting isn’t propriety or anything to roam.

Why do you want to retain the factory hitch? On the big trucks (f350/f450) where you can go from a 21k bumper hitch rating to like 10k rating I can see wanting to keep it but besides that am curious why you want it.

My bad. I’m not sure why I typed aftermarket...I meant factory LED fog lights. I already paid for the LED package and I like it, so I don’t want to spend more money switching them out, plus I, don’t like the look of square fog lights. As with the hitch, I already have the factory hitch. I don’t want to have to remove something I already paid for to replace it with something basically identical. Personal preference, maybe laziness in not wanting the extra work. Wither way, I’m not sure why so many bumper manufacturers insist on incorporating their own hitch.

The factory hitch is nothing special, and they sell quick on the clasdifieds here.

I gave her a bath and a quick spray on wax. She looks amazing dirty or clean. :involve::involve:

I would say worth the cost, isn’t worse than stock but isn’t high end. Fair to say “rides like stock” as they market it. Will definitely put it to the test this weekend!
Did you change drive shafts or control arms with the lift kit?

Two hundred, fifty-six mother-effing days later... Mopar tube doors delivered about 3 weeks ago. My thanks to @SONofHELGI for the suggestion on the side mirrors...they fit and work nicely. And the @Diode Dynamics smoked side markers. They're a better look than the stock amber. Easy install, perfect fit; no gaps.
