Can relate, northern euro genetics. 5 minutes of sun in the spring and I’m beet red. 1 minute in Hawaii outside and I’m nuked.
Yeah apparently the recessive genes are strong in the wife and I. We both have brown hair, brown eyes, and burn once than tan. Our kids are completely opposite.

Wire from aerial runs inside by the door and under the plastic of the side of the dash where it connect to the compact main part of the uhf radio which is installed behind the glovebox . Wiring spliced to the cigarette lighter so the radio turns on and off with accessories.
Thanks and apologies for my Southern English, 'get out' means what range are you getting with your rig?

How much louder?
Much louder. I could see how some would hate it. For a rough approximation just pull off your stock muffler and drive around- the dynomax sounds similar but toned down slightly from muffler-free.

Personally I like it and am going to leave the Dynomax pipe on. While it is much louder, I do have some control over that based on how I drive. It’s not completely obnoxious like a catless Mustang or something.

Someone above just installed the Dynomax muffler delete, i just deleted that delete! I HATED the sound. I hope you like it though. We're going to try the Savvy exhaust. Considered a OEM replacement, but high-tuck. Coming from the Dynomax, i love the lack of sound. I nearly cant hear it. @BbyGrlJJ has the same type of feedback. We both nearly cant hear it and almost slightly more quiet than OEM. We have both 3.6 and 2.0 and both sound the exact same.

The only thing i didnt love about it was a somewhat loose/rotational tailpipe. I used some foil tape to thicken the connection and it helped. We'll see. My initial impressions are great! It is tucked up nice and high. I was considering painting it black, but may just leave it.

I have a manual and due to how loud it was, i was training myself to shift at certain "audible points". With the loudness gone, i should have better shifting ranges (again this is only because of my choosing). This muffler does nothing for shiftpoints.

Does that setup remove the resonator, or is it just a muffler delete with resonator?
It's only the muffler delete. Resonator and everything else stays in tact. Gives it nice, deep growl!!

Installed Hooke rear cargo rack. Now when we go over landing, all my stuff hopefully won’t be tipping over that I stuff in the back.

Got my T-Rex installed on the windshield, the other 3 decals that I bought from Don @pixeldecals since the Jeep was clean. Also figured that since my antenna was already loose, I would plastidip it. We’ll see how the plastidip holds up, otherwise I’ll just paint it a flat black.

How did the plastidip hold up on the antenna? I'm thinking about doing this also. I still have some flat black plastidip from another project.

Installed Diabolical’s Slipstream along with Shadeidea screens and some inexpensive Hooke Road tube doors and Lange Coyote side view mirrors. Next up is a Midland GMRS radio.
Note - I’m 6’0” tall and my head hits the sun screens, not a fan of that.
