Bartact front seat covers. As much as I love the red stitching I added a level of protection that I discovered with my JK. The Bartact seat covers are only available for the front seats right now with the rear covers coming in about a month according to Bartact directly.

Do you have a link to these seat covers? I Googled for it, but I only see them for the JKs.

Update: Found it - https://www.bartact.com/products/ba...air?rq=yr_2018~mk_jeep~md_wrangler-jl-and-jlu

2020 JLUR; Previous: 1978 Jeep CJ-7; M151A2 (3/64 Armor, 3rd Infantry Division).
Its a Barricade Adventure HD bumper. The stock LED fog lights do work, the stock halogen fog lights do not.
How are you liking the Barricade Adventure HD Bumper? Would be interested to hear pros and cons (besides the Halogen/LED fog light issue). How is the quality of construction, fit, and finish? This bumper appears to be an excellent value and I like both the practical aspects (D-ring mounts) and styling...

That looks great. Can you tell us what rims those are?

JL Unlimited Rubicon
Job was about 1.5 hours to 2 hours. I took my time.. On their website they have 3 videos to help.. I found the paper document provided to be more helpful though. It is well written. I did the job solo and it isn't difficult. The unit itself is really well made and engineered. I could do it in half the time if I had to do it again. The real issue is orientation of pieces vs. the images during assembly as if you do it wrong you have to readjust which could mean disassembly to then continue.

I have owned the hoist from a previous jeep that I had and what I didn't like about it was that it had to be fab'd to the garage so when I sold the house I had a bunch of work to fix it. Also that it still was a beautch as when it was up there I always hit my dang head on it and the top swayed too much for me.

I do not regret the decision
How sturdy is it? put another way, what are the chances that my rambunctious younger kids could somehow topple it or fck with it someway?

Looks awesome. I assume that's a Sport S? I will be in similar scenario. Can you please share the products you are using for signal, fogs, and headlights?

Yep for a Sport Unlimited. Headlights will be installed after work.

Simple to do all three. The Switchbacks...you will need to purchase the resistor that is on the same link for 10 bucks. Those are easy to install as well.

I know this is dumb but before wrenching down anything make sure the bulbs work otherwise you'll be pulling them out to see what got missed.

Thanks,

Thank you much for this info. I have it bookmarked and will order once I have a semblance of when my JLUS is going to ship. For the Diode lights, I could get the info on color temp. Do you know if it's 5000k? I think anything over 5000k is ricey...
