Siren - JLU Diesel Bikini Pearl Build

[KingCorgi]

A few years back I had to sell my JKU that my daughter and I loved to take wheeling together. She was only 5 but the memory of it stuck so well with her that she constantly asked when we were going to get another Jeep.
So when I had the chance to get another Wrangler I searched for the perfect one. I had trouble finding exactly what I wanted but there was two items I wasn't willing to compromise on. I wanted the diesel, and my daughter loved the Bikini Pearl.
I spent months searching on and off with no luck to the combination. Finally, I found one in September 2020 that fit the bill. So the family and I took a little road trip and picked up the new Jeep. On the way home we named it Siren. And this is our build.

Mods:
Carbon fiber door handle covers
Euro mirrors
Carbon fiber mirror covers
Painted dash Bikini Pearl
Carbon fiber interior accents

This is Siren day 1 at the dealership and home. We were very excited!

Before the paper tags were even off we took Siren out on a family off road adventure!

The build started with a few cosmetic upgrades I found while waiting to do some larger things. I've always been a sucker for carbon fiber so when I saw these I had to get them.

They are real carbon fiber door handle covers and Euro mirrors with carbon fiber caps.

Also painted the dash Bikini Pearl and some little carbon fiber interior accents.

Nice rig! I would have put your odds at near zero of finding a diesel and Bikini Pearl.

Then we got the Mopar lift, Rough Country front and rear adjustable track bar, Rock Krawler spring correction pads and the Skyjacker dual steering stabilizer.

We needed some additional ground clearance and gained about 3.5 inches with this on the stock sport tires.

And to bring us up to current we added a set of Fuel D665 Matte Gunmetal Wheels 18" x 9" wrapped in 37x12.5 Kenati Trail Hogs.

Thanks! Yeah it sure was a quest to find it, but we are lucky to finally get it!

How was the install for the Euro mirrors?

How was the install for the Euro mirrors?

It was very simple,the only part I haven't figured out yet was the wiring. Need to do that once weather is better.

Did you purchase a complete replacement for mirror or just the pieces for the turn signal? I assumed that other than the turn signal, the complete mirror would be plug and play (for heat, power, bsm) into factory harness?

Finished my install of the Artec spare tire delete just in time for some snow! Had to go out and grab a few photos.

Well, it looks fine but what if you get a flat tire on the trail?
