The plan is to make it awesome but not a one trick pony. I need to daily, I need to kill deer, I need to go to my favorite spots in the mountains, and I need to make my sweet little boys happy. And also maybe entertain the idea of not ruining it for my wife.

Here it is when I picked it up.Lower body graphics are not for me. Guess what happens to them....

More to come.

First things first...had to ditch the lower body graphics. Pulled off easy enough. I still have yet to find a moment to wash the Jeep and remove the last of the adhesive that stuck around. It looks so much better.

Also, I installed the tan premium soft top. It is no longer tan, it is now gold. I am liking the look.

I added a few more items over the weekend through yesterday.

Black spiderweb shade. Not the simple install that the JK version afforded but it’s definitely sharper when it’s fully attached with the new Jeep mounted fastening points

And a cheap 15” antenna from RR. I think Jeep used red locktite and some rust to install my oem antenna. I am not 100% happy with it as it doesn’t sit quite right. I am going to properly clean out the threads and try again this weekend.

These showed up Friday. Went with 35x12.50 KM3s. They should be plenty capable of handling all my needs from the beach sand to the mountain logging roads. And daily NC pavement.

I sent them to my dad’s place just to limit the amount of transport between the drop and the shop. UPS dropped them next to this.

Another grin factory. TH GCs are so much fun.

I picked the Method MR701 wheels. I am kind of going for a more classic look and I have no need for bead lock wheels.

I am really loving the look.

I got -12 offset which was kind of a must on the JKs. I am definitely happy with the wider stance.

And the golds match quite well...

Looks good…the factory wheels are being shipped to my place, right?

Thanks. I have done a couple more things, but work and the kids are not leaving much jeep time. I will post more substantial updates soon.

I toy with the idea of selling the wheels but I don't think anyone would like the price...
