Ooooh, nice things. Such as? I am intrigued.

I got the leather dash panels that match the tan/gold stitching for the 392. New GMRS radio, the 50 watt version. Some of the door protectors. Tons of shirts and crap like that. Tote bag, dog protector for the rear seats.

Which winch did you order?

Don’t have a lot of money so I just went with the badlands 12,000 with synthetic rope.

You can do a lot worse than that winch. Especially if you joined the inside track club and got the 25% off any item coupon.

I've learned patience on winches...someone is always selling new or unused ones for a fraction of the cost. I picked up my second Warn 10-S for $600..with the remote capability. It was on marketplace for weeks at 1200 and I honestly can't believe it didn't sell. Another one for $800, same deal and had the mounting plates included. There are some rough ones out there but these were perfect.

Where does one find the leather dash panels to match the 392 colors?

The ony things I've ordered so far are Hot Heads Headliner for the Skyview One touch and a stubby antenna. This is my 1st Wrangler....figured I'd do lots of research prior to committing to larger ticket items.

Let me know when you have trouble walking through your garage without the jeep in it Mine looks like a jeep parts warehouse right now. Buckle up, you've only just begun to spend

^This. Navigating my garage has become quite complicated, and I didn't even order the tires yet.

My parts storage is in the dining room ? you may need to spread it out

Not including my office where the nice things are being stored We're fighting in the same weight class my friend

What I have learned by reading this is that you all need bigger garages.

Yes, yes I do.

Yes, yes I do.

Until I can do my dream house build (on acreage in Montana), a minimum of 1,000 sq ft of garage space, as well as adequately tall garage doors and high ceilings has been a requirement of mine for each house I've purchased.

I miss my last house as it had a ~1,000 sq ft heated (natural gas), detached garage with enough room to house 3 cars, 4 motorcycles, several bicycles, an entire REI's worth of camping equipment, enough overlanding gear to make an Instagrammer drool, and my workshop (plus it had 220V in the detached gage, plus an attached single car garage, a 120 sq ft shed, and 3 driveways, one of which was 16 feet wide and about 120 feet long)... Made some nice coin on that house, though.

My new house has a 3-car attached garage, with 12.5 ft ceilings over the double bay, and the third bay is 30 feet deep with a 10 ft tall door and 14.5 ft ceilings. Adequate for some smart vertical storage (cargo hoists, shelving).

I'll likely put a top hoist over the double bay for just the hardtop and, if I decide to put rooftop tent on the 392 at some point, a tent hoist in the third bay so I can drop it down on the Jeep in the bay with the taller door. I may build a storage loft in the back of the third bay since the ceilings are so tall, above the space I'll use for my workshop.

Ok, you win

I never ever want to sound ungrateful as I have a two-car garage, 10' ceilings, and two very large sheds where I put all the lawn and storage stuff so I can maximize my space but it's too small. I have a Corvette that sets permanently on the side or the other side of the bay is open and I work on stuff there. I would give a testicle to have a three or four car garage. My buddy, super good guy, has a four car garage and doesn't use it. The previous owners were car people and it just happen to come with the house.

The next and final house will be likely in North Caroline, hopefully within an hour of the coast, a more modest size home and separate garage/workshop. I can tell even at 57 that I'm more about enjoying the vehicles then turning a wrench anymore. I still do it as I like the sense of accomplishment and I know I'll do it right but it takes more time and when I finally retire at 62 or sooner from the 2nd career, I'm sure priorities will change...not sure, I'll probably have the time to do whatever I want.

You're very blessed with that setup.

Blessed... or willing to drive myself (and my realtor) crazy when house hunting... ?

The cherry on top is... my next door neighbor has a 2 post lift in his third bay, and he's given me an open invite if I ever need to throw the Jeep up on the lift. He's got a cherry e46 M3 sitting up on it now, and an e36 328Cic sitting out front in his race car trailer that he's chopped the convertible roof off of and turned into a track car.

I think it's ironic that I finally have open access to a vehicle lift, but I'll be sending the 392 to AEV for all the work that really requires a lift (though, I'll probably take him up on his offer when I put skids on the 392, and if I ever decide to swap to AEV's 3" high capacity springs).

I did most of the work on my current JL and my old JK myself, and I would have killed to have access to a 2 post lift at times, though I did get access to one when I installed the MetalJoke suspension on my old JK, and my buddy that runs a Jeep shop in Georgia let me lend a hand during installation of the MetalJoke skids on the JKU since it would have been a pain to do that without access to a lift (and, yes, there's some salt there with MC... I'll spare the thread the story, but happy to provide it to anyone that is curious).

I will say I keep an eye out for a lift, either a two-post or even a quick jack would be fine. I have built all three of my previous jeeps and I'm all over the play on what to do lift-wise on the 392. At day 48 post-build, I just want to drive it before the super cold weather sets in.

I smile every time I pull into my driveway. I have acreage, wonderful views, and the space to build that garage. I'm just torn about staying in Virginia (high taxes, personal property, etc.). 1st world problems.

I don’t mean this as a slight to ND, as they played well, but Clemson should have never been in the CFP ranking in the first place. Great game for ND.

Oh, and there’s some idiot named Steve Batterson that writes for the Quad City Times that gave Ohio State his first place vote in the AP poll after that abysmal performance they put up over Northwestern “because weather.”

I guess he didn’t see the second half of the Georgia game where they played through a torrential rainstorm…

I am a Buckeye fan, but if we had to play ichigan right now, I don't see the Buckeyes winning. ichigan deserves to be #2 right now...
