Search this part number. I’m pretty sure they sell the surrounding grille pieces in white.
That's the set I want! Odd that Mopar decided to produce a white version and none of the other finish colors. Luckily I need white. Thanks !

Step 1, just got some new 285/70r17 121 q d goodyear wrangler duratracs installed. Step 2, install Rubicon take off springs/shocks/spacers for a mild lift. Step 3, hit the trails!
Only drove around for an hour or so with the new tires both highway and back roads. Loving them so far. Not as loud as I expected, totally reasonable for my daily driver. Only really notice a slight increase in noise on the highway, then I just turn the stereo up anyway HaHa I've got spacers on my painted stock wheels so they push out past the fenders a bit. Love the more aggressive look!

Real happy with my DuraTrac's. Great for winter driving.

JLU Sahara Altitude - Sting Gray
Installed some Smittybilt Atlas hinge steps after sanding and painting the pegs - except for the cleats - sting gray to match. This was the second pair I received - first pair had factory defects on the welds (crossbars on both pegs were crooked). Big ‘thanks!’ to Tim at Quadratec’s customer service - super helpful and FedEx had the replacement steps at my front door the next day. These things are built solid and look great - Will make loading/securing my canoe much easier when summer finally gets here!

I started getting bug splatters before all of the snow melted. So I attached the Aeroskin II bug deflector (not today, but Friday evening). Easy install, and the matt black matches the fenders quite well.

Install when temps are between 60-80 degrees; check. Do not drive for 24 hours after installing; check. Do not wash for 72 hours; does 99% chance of rain starting at about 67 hours count?

After a few months sitting in the garage waiting for warmer weather... finally installed my Synergy upper and lower, front and rear, adjustable control arm kit. Also installed the Synergy adjustable rear track bar and sway bar links... next step - alignment and geometry. Also did my second oil change and sent off the sample to Blackstone Labs.

2018 JLU Sahara 2.0L
Bought this cheap made-in-China rear cargo basket from Amazon for install. Seemed like an easy install. Had high hopes, what could go wrong right?

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B088PRSC1H?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

Arrived well packed and in good conditions, holes seemed to be drilled out properly. Then as I proceeded to install it, I realized that the holes are NOT drilled at the correct location. Went back to check their Amazon photos and it seemed like they sent me a different product than shown. (Probably sent me the one for JK instead)

Anyways I was on the verge of returning it then decided it was a bigger hassle, so I just measured and drill out the correct holes myself.

Was a fairly simple install from there on out, and had my gf helping me hold the basket in place while I lined up the bolts.

2021 JLU 2.0T
After a few months sitting in the garage waiting for warmer weather... finally installed my Synergy upper and lower, front and rear, adjustable control arm kit.

Also did my second oil change and sent off the sample to Blackstone Labs.
I just received my first Blackstone lab report, in relation to my JLU's inaugural oil change. (All such labor will be my own; I've no interest in risking a 6 quart oil fill via the Jeep Wave benefit.)

Anyway, but for a few mildly elevated metal and silicon figures, which were anticipated as part of a new engine break-in, on balance the report data was as I expected and hoped for.

Interestingly, the report stated that the viscosity of the sample -- that is to say, the factory oil -- "ended up in the 5W/20 range". The manual specifies 5W-30 for the 2.0T, which is what I poured in. Just an observation.

What liner did you go with and how was the install, please?
I went with Hooke Road from eBay, but it's the same as the "u-box" one. The concept is good, but the installation is not that straightforward. Instructions are crap and hard to read. The supplied M4 rivnuts are too small for the JL holes. I went with M5 rivnuts instead which required me to expand some holes accordingly. The holes in the liners are way too big, so extra washers are necessary. Also some cutouts are missing (driver bolt, light harnesses etc.) in order to install this product and need to be made manually. If you aren't handy with tools or don't want to spend extra time to make things fit - try looking somewhere else.

Shelf looks good - what camera system is that on your lift gate? Fwd-facing from rear glass?...either an Uber driver or capturing evidence of which kid is leaving dirty footprints on the back of your front seats ;)
