The Moose is Loose!

[AlienSunshade]

Got the @AlienSunshade installed today after I took the top off for the first time!

It looks a little orange in that picture, but the Cherry Red is NOT orange.

Looks phenomenal!

Although I'm not surprised...since this is the exact combo I'm rocking: Cherry Red on Sting-Gray.

First Picture!

Did you happen to be in the Navy at any time?

Did you happen to be in the Navy at any time?

No Sir...but my dad served in the Navy in Vietnam and my Granddad was a Seabee in WWII, so I have deep respect for the Service.

I needed a flashlight in the Jeep, and I found the model called the Inspector, by Nebo. What's great is, it fits snugly in the Jeep Toolkit!

My replacement fob from AJT Designs LLC arrived and I put it together tonight!

Only challenging part was battery alignment!

Fob is very nice, and fits perfectly in the fob spot.

I recommend checking them out. They have tons of color combinations to choose from for fobs, buttons and hardware.

I added a screen protector yesterday which I purchased on Amazon...jury is still out on this.
It was incredibly hard to align, due to the angle, and it ended up with bubbles underneath.

It's the "hard" plastic kind, not the bendy rubbery kind.

I can't see the bubbles while the screen is on, so it might work.

No reason to post pictures as it's just a screen protector.

Ordered a WARN Front Bumper Grill Guard Tube (Low Height) which arrived and got installed today!

Here's a before, an after and a side shot.

Took the Jeep in to have the front windows tinted. I chose an installer that uses SunTek film, and I chose the ceramic film, and state law in Texas allows 30% darkness.

It doesn't perfectly match the rear factory tint, but it is very close, and more importantly it blocks the heat!

Today my Rear seat back mat and cargo mat arrived.

This is the Molded Cargo Area Tray - Leather Trim Only Without Gap Hider. Part number 82215185AC.

Installation is super easy. Cutting the carpet on the back of the seats is a little unnerving, but the YouTube videos help that.

Just installed the Brawlee LED Lightbar on the hatch window.

Mine came with a full strip of 3M adhesive tape (some have tape dots). It also came with the 12v plug. I understand with some older models this was not included.

Full installation parts were included, but I chose to install the power cord within the window wire channel, down within the hardtop,and out the hole for the hardtop wiring and plumbing (I lightly zip-tied the wire to the window washer hose) then inside the plastic panels up to the rear LED.

Installing this is very easy, but slightly tedious if you follow my installation route, as you will need to be careful not to snap the tabs on the plastic.

I hard wired into the rear dome light, and it sums /flickers as the interior lights dim. This may be a "feature" and it may be due to the inline remote link I installed.

Overall, this is a 10/10. Super inexpensive, very easy to install and big improvement with lighting the cargo area.

***Update on the flicker. I took out the inline wireless connection to the remote. Problem solved. Now it comes on and goes off with the interior lights.

If I want it to stay on, I plug I'm the 12v to the rear cig lighter and plug that in the inline wireless, then into the light.

Perfect. Can't recommend one of these enough.

Tonight I added American Flag decals to the rear windows of the hard top!

If you are a perfectionist I highly recommend you skip this mod! These giant stickers are VERY challenging to get on!

So before anyone says the stickers are on the wrong side, or reversed, or backward, read this:

I liked the Red and Black key from AJT Designs, I went ahead and ordered a Gray with Red buttons and screws.

Got it today and put it all together.

I found a deal on some used Yakima gutter mount risers and Yakima Crossbars, so I did a little Plastidip Rehab and got them installed today, then added my Yakima Basket.

 

[BullMoose1776]

Pulled the trigger on an @lodoffroad Destroyer bumper and Tire Carrier, with 2 Jerry Can holders and a Basket, all black, yesterday. I went ahead and got almost every option available.

6-8 week leadtime on delivery. Very Excited!
