Good looking Jeep. Love it.
Thanks, took delivery of it stock on 7/3/22. this is where we are today :). A lot of wrenching in 10 days, but it was fun and great exercise. When I retire, I might just start building these things. It's great fun and pretty rewarding.

I used the plug & play adapter that Oracle makes so it was super easy! The only issue was fitment of the driver side light in the steel bumper. I had to grind a bunch off the light & repaint it to get it to fit. Apparently Oracle has done a redesign but I was sent the old style.
Just installed mine. Lose the screw to mount the pass side light back in somewhere in the bumper. I’ll have to wait for my magnet picker to show up with my HHG on Wednesday. Those tiny bolts are near impossible to get to. The driver side didn’t fit for me either. While I also didn’t have my grinder, I “compression fit it with some force (a hammer and some foam covering) Shockingly, it didn’t break- I doubt I’d ever be able to get it back out if I needed to. Either way, rest of the install wasn’t too bad. Cheap solution for some better reverse lighting. I’ll likely keep it that way until some day in the future when I replace the oem steel bumper.

Sort of, kinda retired....mostly
Installed one of these bad boys. My S(h)mittybuilt one bit the dust when airing up after the Rubicon Trail, so I decided it was time to reward myself. The Grimm bracket kit is awesome, very clean and efficient use of space. The installation video from Northridge 4x4 was spot on and made it very easy. Plus, it was an Amazon Prime Day special.
The install video:

Yes, inexpensive way to pump up reverse lights.

Put the Mopar lift on the JL…. One of the front shocks bad out of box would not expand, working with justforJeeps.com on a warranty replacement and went to put the wheels and tires on and half the weights were falling off 🤦🏼‍♂️, took the wheels and tires to discount tire and they balanced them for me, guy I had balance them wouldn’t return my calls so now we wait for the last shock also installed teraflex rear tailgate hinge and tire carrier

Had my DS18 audio uograde installed. Sound bar, sub box, and amp. Sounds unbelievable. Huge upgrade from stock.

very cool. How do you like the tailgate sub box? I though about doing this, wasn’t sure about rattles and the space required for the 2 door…

Got my Squadbox in and installed this weekend.

The little yellow strips are LED light strips I wired into the dome lights.

And for those who want to know, like I did, the Diabolical sliding drawer/floor/whatever they are calling it WILL fit, as long as the passenger side molle panel is not installed on the Squadbox.

Any more info on the LED strips please, where did you get them and where did you tap into dome light?
