2 Door JL Red 3.5" 37's

[Jergs]

First part of the Katzskinz. How this headrest was the tough part because the struggle is real. My first ever interior model, lot to learn

Looks great so far, I look forward to seeing it all finished. Im curious why you went with a sport since it appears you are replicating a lot of the aesthetics of the rubicon with the gas cap door, aux switches and red and black leather seats?

Not so bad other than the hog rings. Found if I hooked the rod then feed the cover piece in the ring cut through it cut through and formed without cutting holes for ring. The massage it in line and press the velcro line down (green stripes)..

My purchase price was $34K (negotiated $2700 off sticker) and the cheapest Rubicon with hard top was $47K. My only options are Hardtop, the sport group to get power windows and Media group with backup camera. I have a friend with a local dealer and purchased the switches for $210 to provide everything I wanted as a base.

Because I will be doing gears lockers will be done then and with working inthe aftermarket industry I have connections to get good deal on them. Yes the 4:1 is sweet but have found with the auto I was very pleased with my JK on the trail... other than I felt like I was driving a school bus : )

This should keep me busy next 4-5 hours.

Ready for install. That is not a cordless impact. I outfit the drill were I can control torque and make lot of passes.

Very happy with this color choice. These Ntto Ridge Grapplers are quite and ride is very nice. Running 28 psi for a good foot print.

Road wise runs the hills well with only minor changes, noticable in shift points, holds on a bit longer.

Kinda made me decide to go Rigid, how much did that set of lights cost?

Went with Bodyguard. Strggeled with modular design but happy in the end with the look, not so heavy as my past choices and allowed for my lighting choices. Shipped with wrong end caps for front. Sending the proper piece with opening for same light on rear.
