Added a few more things today (things I already had and finally got around to installing):
Mopar Tailgate - initially I was going to return it because I thought it was the source of my rattle towards the rear only to realize it was the lock release cable for the soft top making all the racket. Happy I was able to get it back on and I wrapped the support cables in black cloth tape to avoid any potential for rattling with the hard plastic wrap on the metal...

Next up is the 5" Mopar pillar lights with the Mopar mounts - stupid easy install with the factory default Aux setup. Added a little loom to the outside of the cable just to protect it a bit and just to do something with the loom I had from another project. A little showing off @pixeldecals awesome work he has been doing for me too here =)

Last is probably the most simple but yet the most awesome idea that I got from someone else here like just about everything I do to my Jeep - Wixgear flat mount magnets for a phone mount on the vents (one for my side and one for my wife's side). I tossed that tray that goes into the grab bar in the process...was never super comfy with her sitting her phone in there anyway.

When it is open does it flap at highway speeds?
I wouldn't say flapping, the twill is a pretty heavy fabric. Mine has bounced up and down at times if the wind catches it right. Mostly I think that could be resolved by strapping it down, but I'm just not that concerned about it.

Looks great!!

What brackets did you use for the bumper lights? Quadratec mounts are backordered until the end of the month and you have to drill and cut to use the Mopar ones, which I don't want to do.

What you using for mirrors?
I've got a pair of American Outlaw mirrors from my JK that I'm going to put on. Just need to put some 3M protective film on the hinge first, though, since they hold via a small nylon-tipped set screw and I don't want it to chew up my paint.

I'm considering other options, though. I'm not 100% sold on these mirrors.

Went out last night and ran it thru the touch less car wash. Washed all the windows and got all the bugs off.
Went out today and coated it with Meguiar’s Ultimate Quik Wax. Came out really shiny.
Man I love my new Wrangler.

I just used the hole in the bumper. Took maybe a 1/16" to let the KC bracket bolt fit.

The cowl lights are the Baja Design bracket. Small and clean.

Did you accidentally take out the windshield bolts?? Or are you planning to fold it down.
