Well, this is now my 8th build and I have the empty checking to prove it! I LOVE this Eco Diesel. This thing flat out MOVES with the Banks on it. I was going to regear before I had it shipped back from Idaho, but am very glad I didn't. If I keep it between 70-75 mph, I can get 21 mpg on the freeway. It gets 18 in city which is shocking. Overall, the best Jeep I have owned to date. Build was extensive.

Notes- The new to market Coverking roof liner is OUTSTANDING! Makes the Jeep feel like a real car inside (No white exposed). The FullVUE Camera Mirror is JUNK! Stopped working after 2 weeks. Works now when it wants to. Manufacturer wants me to rip out the entire unit instead of just replacing the mirror itself and send it back in original packaging which got thrown away by the shop in ID. Won't ever do business with them again.

The build-

SUSPENSION- MetalCloak Game changer 4.5 lift, Metalcloak HDSteering with Fox stabilizer, Synergy Steering box brace, Adams 1350 Front Driveshaft (Have a spare set of 3.5% MC springs)

WHEELS/TIRES- 40 Nitto Trail Grapplers with 20x12 Black Rhino Armory wheels

LIGHTING- Rigid Industries Adapt XP (3), Rigid D-XL pro led lights (2), Diode Dynamics rear 30 bar (1), Oracle Prerunner lights, Oracle rock lights, Oracle clear/tinted corners

BRAKES- Teralflex Delta Big Brake Kit with Stainless lines

FENDERS- DV8 Inner liners all around

SLIDERS- Rockslide engineering GEN 3 slider steps

TIRE CARRIER- Teraflex Alpha Tire Carrier

WINCH- APEX 12K Synthetic line, Factor 55 FlatLink E

PERFORMANCE- Banks Derringer with Data Monster, Banks Pedal Commander (This jeep MOVES OUT), JL Tazer Mini, AFE Exhaust

INTERIOR AUDIO/VISUAL- Stinger Heigh10 touchscreen head unit with Navigation and XM Radio, FullVUE Camera Mirror, Matt's Audio 1400-Watt 5 channel amp, Matt's Audio 6.5 Coax water treated Mids/Highs/Tweeters, Sirius Tuner, Wireless Android Auto (System is LOUD and CLEAN)

INTERIOR MISC- CoverKing roof liner kit (New to market),Vector Offroad E Doc (Not yet installed), Wpn Gear pistol mount, Halguard Fire extinguisher,Quadratec floor/cargo liners, VOSwitch Grab Handle switch panel, Bezel surrounds, Amazon Misc.

EXTERIOR MISC- AFE functional Hood Scoops, JCR Bull Bar

Great build so far!

I was looking into different options for rear view mirror camera replacements. Especially since I will be covering what's left of the rear window with shelving. Any con's so far with the FullVU mirrorE?

Do you mean on top of what they talk about in the original post?

Looked right past that part. Good information. Won't consider the FullVU

Apologize for missing your review of it @Vettethret . I know there are some others on the market. Will let you know if I find anything good.

It's an Aeromotive Gauge. Another member posted his set up so I copied, Super clean install.

Any trimming needed? What offset/backspace are you running to clear 40s?

Looks killer.?

Yes, they did some trimming, the 3.5"s springs wouldn't work with the stock fenders. If I go over a big whoop, the back rubs on the DV8 liners, I still need to trim that. I am going to end up going with flat fenders and probably back down to the 3.5 springs.
