The 2Dr Sport Only Thread

[emgeesea]

Hi, new guy here....could you please share how you added your front cam?

I was hoping to be able to add a front camera to the OEM 7" radio display, but that is not possible, so I bought a camera that includes a 4" display monitor, mounted the display monitor on the dash in the tray above the radio and ran the wires through the dash and to the camera at the front bumper. Not difficult and works great.

This is the camera I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073NZQTQN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. It has a cigarette lighter power plug, so you can turn it on/off easily by pushing the button on the plug, and it easily reaches the lighter socket on the dash. (Or, you could hard wire to the battery and avoid the cigarette plug.)

BTW - if you have the 8.4" OEM radio (Rubicon), I believe there is a second channel for adding a front camera so that the camera display would show within the radio, thus no need for a separate monitor.

NICE! Just what the doctor ordered lol.
Thanks for sharing this. I have a sport with the standard radio. This will work for me.

I wonder how that will handle a rock or tree stump?

I guess I will just have to go and order one so we can all see!

Quadratec finally released thier cab cover for the 2 door.
Seems to fit ok and seems made well, but much bulkier than I was expecting.
Reasonable price though.

No rain in the forcast, so I will have to update later on how it handles a rain storm.

Dont care for the metal hooks, so I did some heat shrink on them.

Just a quick q, but is this the cover that you can use with the soft top on? or is this for the hard top Jeep?
Thank you..

I am looking for one that i can keep the soft top on..

 

[Chris.steger]

Does anyone have the Rough Country seat covers in their 2 doors?
Does it have a slot or flap on the top of the seats for the fold forward levers?
Their stock photos dont show them, though they do seem to show the correct 2 door back seat..

I have them,,
Great covers- Fit perfectly.

They have a slit for every adaptor/cable/lever to come thru... You won't loose access to anything.

If you are in the market for a set.. I would sell you mine @ a discount rate.
That way i can get the Diver Down series(want a little color with mine)

I have had mine for about a month now. Nothing wrong with them,, just all black.

The funny thing- Mine do not have the RC on them like all the pictures..
They are just plain black.

I can send you pictures..

Nice and clean. And, I mean that in the best light, pre-trail way!

I decided to go with the Gladiator style wheels and Falken Wildpeak tires over the BFGoodrich K02's. I'm still thinking about going with KM3s or Milestar Patagonia if/ when I get bigger. Still no lift for the time being. I'm enjoying the easy access.

For the record, current modifications include: Gladiator Wheels, Falken Wildpeak T/A 3W, 33" Tires, ARB Dual Air Compressor, WARN EVO 10S, Falcon P2 Shocks, Dv8 Rear HAMMER Bumper, Rusty's Spare Tire Delete, Carolina Metal Masters Side Mirror Brackets, Trigger 4 Wireless Auxiliary Switch and Remote Control System. More to come.

NOTE: When I'm close to being done (if that actually ever happens, I'll update my thumbnail image. Right now that red 2DR is my all-time favorite.
