Well so much for an OCD Jeep only thread! Now it’s the grammar and spelling police thread! Lol

clicked on the thread to see lots of OCD mods - instead I realized how important a typo can be.

So suffering from a spell of OCD, I’ll post some of my interior tweaks. First is a custom phone mount I made which is fitted into the polygonal holder on the dash. I fabricated this with some 3/4 plywood, a small strip of aluminum strapping, Rubber bed liner spray, some assorted HW, magnetic phone mount and double sided tape. Keeping with “OCD” I color matched my grab handles (cobra knotted myself with maroon/black paracord).. For the last bit I went amazon.... seat belt cushion is again color matched red stitching on black which looks like it belongs and also serves well to cut the wind flapping out of the backseat belts when doors and roof are removed. Final note the red footwell LED lighting throughout tied into the “ignition on power lead” under the passenger footwell. I drive with lowest power interior lighting to preserve night vision and prefer the red cabin lighting to assist in that night vision preservation. Apologies if the photo quality stinks, I used an old iPad when I popped my phone in the picture. Cheers all!

Oh yeah..... also have single adhesive sided door insulation stuck beneath the aluminum strapping to keep it from marring the dash.

I found that simply buckling the seatbelts stops them from flapping in the breeze. Then again, I'm a cheap bastard that would rather spend the cash on fuel. They do look nice though, good job.

Speaking of OCD, has anyone been able to find a passenger side rear hook yet? The existing driver side rear red hook won't fit on the passengers side - so couldn't just buy an extra one. Someone in another thread said they saw a JL with two rear hooks. When I asked if they were sure it was a JL, they said 100% sure.

Nice mods. Looks good. I like the red light but it actually does nothing for your night vision. Preserving night vision has to do with intensity of the light. Fully dimmable white light is actually the best, similar to the oem lights.

Interesting I was under the impression otherwise but in any case I love the look and it works for me. I recall having read something along the lines of BMW conducting a study where they found a wave length in the spectrum of orange/red to be “easy on the eyes” leading them to their orange choice. Ah well, even if not... I dig it. Thanks for sharing and resetting my understanding.

It definitely looks good I agree. Red light has been a common misconception for a long time especially in aviation. I believe it was started bc of photography. The red light doesn’t effect photosensitive material.
