I think I am close to being done on my 2018 Sahara. Even after all the suspension upgrades it still had a steering issue. It took the steering TSB to fix it. I have been pretty happy with all the upgrades I did. If I had to do it again, I would skip the JL audio install. I think there are less expensive options out there. It sounds good on most music, but I have heard cheaper systems put out more sound. Even the stock Alpine system would be acceptable vs the cost of the JL. I drive it in the summer so its got no miles and sits in the garage most of the time but I love it!

Thanks. I have $5500 into the audio. If I had to do it differently I would either get the stock alpine upgrade or just use the JL stealth boxes, other cheaper brand speakers and amp. The JL audio is clear but just sounds like something is missing. It needs eq settings or something. I also wish it was a bit louder. The bass is amazing though. For a wrangler I think you want loud more than clarity. Everything rattles when you have a system installed. At least mine did.
