I have these N-Fabs on my 2013 Tacoma. Great step, but unfortunately the gloss black version rusts pretty bad. Jeep looks FANTASTIC.
Appreciate the compliments!...... I'll be sure to watch for that, and thanks for the tip!

how much space does it take up at the end of garage? i.e. - if you previously parked with the front bumper up against the wall, how far from the wall could the front bumper be when using this lift?
I haven’t measured that yet, I don’t park in front of it. I will measure this weekend when I take the top off again.

Seems factory TPMS fit in the 17X9 Fuel Beast wheels I have, and they connected after a few start ups and about 5 minuets of driving no problem. Glad to have that dash light and annoying pop up warning gone :D

Did the winch and ham radio install... for the radio head I glued magnets behind the radio bezel to match the magnets on the head. It holds really secure! The radio is under the passenger seat and the speaker is just Velcro’d in front of the drivers seat.

Can I power a ham through the aux switches extra wires, or does it need to go direct to battery? Thanks

I didn’t do anything to my JL today (yet, might plastidip the fender’s Jeep tonight though lol), but I was amazed about how in love our 20 months old is with my Wrangler !
As I was leaving to work (walk to the bus stop as I bus to work), my wife (who drops our daughter off at daycare with our Kia Sorento) told me to wait cause my daughter wanted to see me before leaving.
As they came down the stairs, my daughter jumped in my arms saying « Peep » (her way of saying Jeep lol), basically asking for me to drive her to daycare in my JL lol
I’ve always heard kids loved Jeeps, but wouldn’t think the magic would operate that early ! Lol
Everytime I open the garage door she runs to it saying « Peep ! peep ! » lol
I guess it also has to do with the fact that she’s sitting up so high in her carseat and can see so well out the window while she has to somehow stretch to see outside as well in our Sorento. And maybe the fact that Sunday afternoon I took the family for a ride with the freedom panels off and she was just staring at the sky :)

Nice! I have a red sahara coming too, and was thinking about doing that, but the gray inserts on the front grille/headlights won't match anything :( hmmm, pondering....

What method did you use to plastidip in the small spaces between letters/inside letters? Just spray the whole thing and try to peel off with a cotton swab or toothpick?

You can pop out the inserts to paint them if you want to black those out too. They just clip on the back of the grille.
