More a Gladiator thing, but I fitted up a rear diff skid with my ARB diff cover and Rock Krawler Pro-X truss… though I could see this being helpful if you have a track bar bracket which might get in the way of the other skid option that works with the ARB cover - the Metalcloak diaper.

so on the web, those Rancho bolt tabs look like they’d fit inside the ARB indentations, but they don’t 🥴. Lot of grinding/fitting.

Here is the cup holder I have my left eye on. Only red light is the $50 price, but I love the design, location, and seemingly OEM fit. I would use it daily. It seems much more ergonomically convenient than the center console location and especially if you are wanting to add a third slot to hold more than two beverages. My right hand doesn’t need to use braille to chose from three closely bunched containers.

If my wife is in the right seat, then it means both a water and coffee/diet soda spot for her. I might buy a driver’s side version, try it out and if happy, put it on my wife’s xmas list. :LOL:

Just Basic Black for me....
Your 3rd cup holder will arrive in the next day or so I guess..

Don't do as I did the day I got my holder... and just attach the removable cup holder bottom to the bottom of the holder.

I clicked the bottom on to the bottom of the holder and was looking at it, fooling with the cup holder... and the then after a few minutes I realized....

I realized... the way you are suppose to attach the cup's bottom ..... you take the removal bottom and drop it into the holder and then you press the bottom until it kinda clicks in place.

When I realized I had placed it/attached it on wrong, I said to myself Daaaaah.

My Sheltech3D 3rd cup holder is working out really well for me.

I keep it stashed behind the passenger seat and when I want to use it I reach back, grab it back there and plop it in the center console center slot.. I use it... geeez, it is functional ... and then remove it.

I like that I can use the 3rd cup holder and then stash it when not needed. I would not want the holder if I had to double sided tape it in place, bolt it in place, etc.. and have to look at it all the time.

Good that it is easily removable. Especially when you need to clean around the area.

I am a real sucker for terriic adjuncts like this 3rd cupholder.... I do not like to look at this kinda thing full-time though. I use / enjoy it and then stash it. I want it easy to clean, not fastened to my vehicle, etc. When I do look at it I want it to look good..

Yes, though I am a 74yo, I am really into this stuff...
I really like/appreciate, enjoy my 3D printed goodies... My Skoda Bug/Ice Scrapper, Under the seat storage trays, defroster redirects, Tazer JL holder, Bolt covers for Bestop SR, Threedom fobs, door lock and wiper arm caps, badges and custom design replacement panels for my Oracle tail lights.. 8-)

Trying out some XPEL textured door sill guard. Guess I'll see how it holds up. Easy to replace and cheap enough but hopefully it holds up for a while at least. Doesn't cover absolute full width but seems to cover my problem area. No matter how many times I tell the fiance and step daughter not to step on the paint.. well.. you know the deal. They aren't the tallest and the 3 inch lift causes them to step where I don't really want them to

Also consider some clear kind of protection, Xpel, etc., on the lip above the sill... Your gal's are gonna tear that up also if you do not protect.

Have you considered some combination rock rails/steps to assist with ingress and egress? Just a thought. I'm lanky, and even I'd have to stretch my legs a bit when entering or exiting a Jeep with a 3" lift.

Yes I have. I'm still on the fence as to which I want. I like the look of the ones that angle up along the side of the jeep.. can't remember which those are off the top of my head. More of a rock rail then a step but I like that look more.

Look at the Mopar HD rock rails. They have a step built in. Also keep rocks off your doors and hinges.
