The stockening is complete!

The stockening is complete!
Bye, bye plastic sidesteps (at least they were Mopar and not some cheap knockoff) and hello to stock rock sliders.
In the few months we’ve had this one it has lost its tacky look from the previous owners and gone to factory+.

Old vs new:
Wheels-Fuel Vapor complete with faded paint and broken center caps. Now the factory upgraded alloys the window sticker says it left the factory.
Tires - worn KO2’s. Now fresh KO2’s.
Lighting - removed the thick yellow film that dulled the fog light output by 30%.
Hood - removed the nice but very poorly applied blackout decal.
Hitch - replaced the Curt hitch that blocked the mounting bolt hole for the hitch electrics and replaced with OEM (added Mopar trailer wiring kit).
Rocker protection - replaced plastic side steps with OEM rock rails (yes, I’m aware many better options exist).
Mudflaps - Rokblokz removed (claimed by my wife so on her 4xE Rubicon now).
Antenna - Replaced cheap rubber thing that had welded itself to the mount with the mount and billet aluminum base and stock antenna from my 2019.

Other things done:
Added ARB single for onboard air.
Added Warn Evo 10S (used).
Added replica of the Mopar bumper hoop.
Changed diff fluids and engine oil.
Added K&N air filter and cabin filter.
Clay barred and polished so it doesn’t feel like sandpaper when you touch the paint.
Sold the textured black hardtop and replaced with a gloss black hardtop with Teraflex handle kit added to make it easier to swap between the two 2 doors if needed.
Prepped for CB or GMRS radio option (antenna cable run, antenna mount on and power take off from the 12v outlet).

Nice. I am going to buy those Mopar steps for my JLR. $350 is better than $1,200 + for sliders with steps. Mopar has them made in Canada, which I can support. I need steps as my lady is 5'2", and I don't want to drag my fat a** over the leather seat getting in and out. With where I wheel 98% of the time, no sliders needed with current ground clearance. If we do the Rubicon next year, we'll address that then.

Why KO2s again instead of Toyo Open Country AT3s? I found them MUCH MUCH better, and when these stock 35" KO2s burn out AT3s are going on.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with KO2’s, an easy decision to stick with them.

To the OP, what are those handles on your rear windows?

They are Teraflex hardtop handles. There to make lifting the hardtop easier - we have two 2 doors and may want to swap tops at times.
