Looks great! excellent choice.... I went with the skid, I think it finishes it off nicely. Also I’m pretty sure I’m getting an extra 1-2 mpg from the aerodynamics ..:giggle:......
Same to you. Good choice on the winch, that one is on my list. I’m a fan of the Quadratec winch. I do like the look with the skid so I’ll look into going that route later on. Saw a video of bleepin jeep cutting those bars off but not sure of any issues with doing so. I may go your route and just order the skid.

In for a penny, in for a pound, it’ll look good either way. Haven’t heard any issues with cutting the horns off. I’m really impressed with the winch. I didn’t have to high of expectations for the price point. But a dozen recoveries later, not one hiccup, works really good, done everything I’ve asked of it so far. Plus I love the wireless remote, and the drum light, although I’ve yet to do any nighttime recovery, lol....

Installed a Teraflex 1.5" spacer kit, with an extra 0.5" in the rear to keep things level.

Complete floor sound proofing done.

Review: Noico makes a good product, this is their 80mil stuff. One package was enough to cover 90% of surfaces under the driver's, passenger's, and rear seat sheet metal. I put a little in the back under the center section just behind the rear seat, but have plans to possibly route some air compressor stuff on the sides at some point, so left all that untouched

Takes a little doing, but this stuff is awesome. When I first started driving, I thought the engine wasn't on, then I thought I had a hearing issue. Around town, 45mph or so, markedly quieter. Conversations are easier, music better, feels much more vault like.

However, add a lift, 37 inch km3's, and highway speeds, noise is back :), mostly wind noise and tire drone. But that's expected, as this vehicle has the aerodynamics of a brick with 3 kites and a windmill attached. :tumbleweed:

Looks great, good job! Did you only do under the front seats?
Thanks

Sorry I just saw your post, I have to say there is some wind noise that still comes from the front removable tops (very little) but not from the doors anymore. I will add seals to the tops to reduce that as well. Here's the link to Amazon's seals and you will need to order two sets (2 rolls per set ) to cover all doors
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0771T61VH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (2 orders). You will feel the difference too because it will be harder to close the door since the cabin is sealed now. You will need to make cuts and overlap 1/2-inch where the front tops come off the doors (marked it with red arrows) and where the rear top comes off as well (not shown but you'll see it), It is a cheap I will call it upgrade for the amount of wind noise it cuts off. I am happy with the results. You can try sealing the removable tops, I will and report the results here. Good Luck! BTW clean the surfaces with alcohol first.

Hey! How is it holding up so far? It didn’t start peeling off or anything like that? I have a lot of wind noise since day one and even more since I lifted it. But it’s not like a leak or anything just the wind noise hitting the Jeep which is ten times louder than my buddy’s JK. I also recently added headliners but didn’t seem to make much of a difference.

I had a local shop install the ARB twin air (I hate wiring and the harness had to be expanded about 10’) this am. I went home after that and installed the @Maximus-3 winch plate and the Smittybilt XRC Gen3 9,500lb synthetic rope winch. It kept my mind off of all the craziness for the entire day! I’m gonna get a Factor 55 ultra hook and get rid of that stupid, but free Smittybilt nipple ASAP!

A little more doorless action. Tried out my new Topsy stack, rack and roll system. And got to see how the CMM mirrors (posted earlier in this thread) performed on the road.

Topsy door rack - pretty happy with it. Mounted it on the recommended engine stand from harbor freight. Pretty solid product. Could be mounted on the wall if you have the room.

CMM mirrors - I feel like they don’t really stick out far enough to get the right angle, at least like regular on door mirrors would. They’re still a well made product and have zero vibration on the road. It may just take some getting used to the different angle. Will definitely stick with them, though.

Topsy door rack (mounted on separate engine stand)
