I did the same pattern and look in black. Love it.
What does that little black tag on the side of the driver seat say?
Really interested in doing the leather dash.

Installed the Redline Tuning struts in carbon fiber. Simplest mod ever on my Jeep and work so well. Also noticed that Jeep forgot to install my passenger side underhood weatherstripping... its there on the driver side. Weird.

I braved the windy cold this evening to mount my new Hi-Lift jack, off-road base, axe, and hatchet today on the excellent shelving system from Texas Metal Works (https://texasmetalworks.com/product-category/jeep-accessories/). The upper accessory mounting shelf (https://texasmetalworks.com/product/jltopshelf/) allowed me to mount the Hi-Lift Jack, Off-road Base, and Axe. I mounted the Hatchet on the Universal Mounting Brackets (https://texasmetalworks.com/product/jlmounts/). I also ordered a JeepNeeds DLA adapter which allows me to use a shackle on any of the Maximus-3 towing loops as a jacking point.

I put tire shine on the tire first so th Plastidip doesn't adhere to to tire. It's supposed to peel off once dry. I guess we'll see.🙂
It will, at least it did when I tried.

We wheel it about every weekend, and I’m not easy on it, so this is just more solidifying to the front end. Some others say the factory knuckles deflect and wear out, I haven’t noticed it, but I didn’t want to have to try and get the dynatrac ball joints out if something on knuckles did fail. The dynatracs are rebuildable so shouldn’t ever have to remove them again.

I don't see Colby anywhere in this shot. Is this even an approved upgrade?

I agree, without your supervisor on scene...how do you know it was done right?

I like the grill lights. How do they compare to a light bar?
