@dperk789 - Excellent choice of colors! I would have gotten the Stingray (I think that's the color) that was on the lot when I bought my Firecracker but it didn't have the options I wanted. I generally don't care for the blacks, silvers, grays out there but yours is awesome!

How do the Falcon's ride compared to stock?
I personally love how the falcons ride. The only comparison i have to a different shock besides stock is from my 2500hd trucks, one with bilsteins and the other with fox resi’s. Over the stock shocks its night and day, it absorbs small and big bumps so well. Ive bottomed them out a few times and it did not even feel like i hit it. Stock you know when you hit it. Now compared to bilsteins and the fox resi’s id say they are right in the middle. Seem to absorb better the bilsteins and are softer initially than the fox’s however because of the resi they dont dissapate heat as well. Thats all I can really compare for you though. Over stock. Well worth the upgrade in my opinion.

Yeah I’m going to look into this for sure. Not sure why they would even put them on there haha and since they did, you would think they would have made it to where if you removed them it would look clean without having to dremel..
Here are the relevant threads:

I removed the JL Wrangler Sport "Euro" Close Out Cover Bumper Pieces

New Owner here: Just picked up my 2018 Sahara JLU. Granite w/ blk HT ( Switched out the color match HT for blk). Swapped stock Sahara wheels and tires for Rubicon set up. Powder coated black satin wheels with 33” BFGoodwrench Mud Terrain. Trying to figure what lift I should install... keeping the 33” tires... have been looking at Teraflex 1.5”.

Finished the Plastidip on the wheels last night. Removed the Sahara emblems and Unlimited stickers. Might remove the Jeep emblem too. The grille is the Mopar Satin Black grille. If the Plastidip doesn’t hold until spring I’ll just buy matte black wheels.
