This is my build of my 2021 Jeep Wrangler JLU Willys that I named "Willow".
So far I have only done mostly cosmetic things, but I have some 35s and a 2.5" lift kit that are waiting to go on hopefully sometime this week.
Here's what has been done thus far...
Installed shorty bullet antenna:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LCS63PM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Love the look and didn't compromise reception.
Installed Grab Handles:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018NU9KPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unfortunately had to get these cheaper ones with only two straps due to my one touch sky top not allowing me to have the 3 straps but they do the job and I'm happy with them.
Installed In Cannel Window Rain Guards (also got windows tinted to match back):
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L7YBYDZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I really wanted AVS brand rain guards but couldn't find the in cannel ones for the JL model but this brand does the trick and they look great.
Installed Spare Tire Brake Light:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PXD6MNC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Super easy plug and play install and it looks great.
Installed A Tow Hitch:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F8MPNF1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Went this route because its much cheaper than getting from the factory and I don't tow much other than a motorcycle from time to time, but great OEM look and simple to install.
Installed 1Âľ" Synergy Wheel Spacers:
https://www.extremeterrain.com/synergy-jeep-wrangler-1-34-inch-hub-centric-wheel-spacers-8810-02.html?utm_content=XTWheel-Accessories|Synergy&T5_Var4=J155633-JL&intl=0&utm_campaign=XTW+Wrangler+Vehicle+Medium&dialogtech=ppc&utm_source=google-pla&utm_medium=shopping&T5_Var2=shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwv5uKBhD6ARIsAGv9a-xq-n1in2GsBYJzc4UeFd--Ld_x1amy9omQTpwdKB6g6W7_DbsX8oQaAj_tEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Gave my Jeep the perfect amount of tire poke for a more aggressive look as well as a smoother ride with the wider stance.
Installed Bulletpoint Phone Mount:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YRZ78VQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Very solid phone mount, does't move at all and has a nice minimalist look to it.
Installed Rear Window Flag Decals:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HYVTWG8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Easy to install and gives a great subtle touch to the Jeep.
Installed Door Latch and Bolt Covers:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08T87MX17/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MBP8V35/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gave a much cleaner look.
Installed A Cupholder Bracket and Trashcan:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LCGKMVX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GZY8CLY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gives my girlfriend a place to throw her trash plus the bracket doubles as a third front seat cupholder or a phone mount.
Installed Rugged Ridge Door Sill Guards:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07L5WBR66/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks great and provides great protection, more so than the Mopar brand ones or most other brands I've seen.
Installed Gas Cap Cover:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FVHLSCX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Gave a cleaner look.
Here are the tail lights installed:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0963DVQ3...abc_N02F1Z7VNCB53AYH5GSK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Easy plug and play and look great!
Installed some extra storage:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08JRW3WYW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_CMSWMRQ2SNAH5WJ77Y7A
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XCK2PSG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WW90BNZZPZ8HBWF74A2W
looks great and works well! Now I even have a place to transport my ammo in and then can easily remove the ammo box to take to the range.
Installed 2.5” RC Lift Kit and 35” Nitto Ridge Grapplers:
Love the look and feel from the suspension and the tires, will be testing them out this weekend at Bantam Trailfest, can’t wait to see how they perform!
