I got my Jeep for Christmas so these are the first few additions. It’s a lease so I will hold off on major mods until I decide if I’m more likely to swap it for a new one or keep it at the end. But here you go!

67 Designs phone mount, storage tray, seat belt cutter added to the center console, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, door sill guards, and of course Dave Matthews Band (I’ve been to 56 shows). :)

Got a link for the storage tray on the Diff Shifter?

I was sick of scraping control arm mounts and ridiculously expensive electric rock sliders on rocks so, bye bye 35’s, hello 37’s!! I also decided that this 2.” Mopar lift just wasn’t cutting it for my needs, great lift for the street and mild trail duty but it just wasn’t for me, hello 3.5” lift. After so much back and forth between the MC 3.5, RK 3.5 and TF 3.5, I chose the Teraflex ST 3.5” with 3.3 Falcons. I hope I made the right decision. Steering, UCA’s and LCA’s all done, finally. Also went with a Warn Evo10s for my future recovery needs.

Also flexed out my wonderful wife @TankGirl Sport with the new fenders and was able to replace the existing 3" rear bumpstops extensions with 1" in the rear. Looks like I may be able to remove the bumpstops entirely from the front, but that will come another day.... Also after seing the above pictures she now wants my old beadlocks and 37's :headbang:

Which bumpstops did you use? Assuming a kit you can stack and add on or subtract?

Installed the OMUOFFROAD Jeep Wrangler LED Rear Glass Lift Gate Dome Light Bar but instead of wiring it to the dome light, I went through a toggle switch and placed the switch in the little cable holder that is there to put the unplugged cable for when the top is removed.

The light is awesome BUT... the remote control device interfere with the keyless entry and a times neither the Jeep would not recognize my presence with the key even if I stood next to the Jeep. So I had to remove the remote control device--which is fine--But be aware!

I fed the wires through the protective cover for the window heater thing and then fed it between the plastic seal... it looks great!

I solved my biggest complaint about my Jeep. The awful backup lights. I was looking for a clean solution that didn't look tacked on to the back of the Jeep and thought it'd be nice if I could install a removable backup light in the trailer hitch. I couldn't find a product on the market that I liked, and I was bored and felt like being a machinist for a day (no offense to machinists with real skills!), so I cobbled this up. All it took was an aluminum "DIY blank logo plate" for trailer hitches that I found on eBay, some 3/8" ABS Plastic from McMaster a little 6mm high density foam (anti-rattle/pretension) a 2.5" hole saw, a Dremel tool with cutting discs and an 8/32 tap. I used the Baja Designs S1 surface mounted LED with "work/scene" profile. I wired it with a connector directly into the backup light circuit of the trailer harness so that I can unplug it for towing (which I'm likely to do almost never with this vehicle anyway). I also used a locking hitch pin to discourage theft. I think the results look pretty decent - and MUCH better backup lighting.

Great job! Someone should make these. I would buy one. I hate me the lack of reverse lighting.
