How did your install go? Mine went on smooth but I found that it doesn’t completely block the drip on mine. On one side I’m now getting slight dripping in the jeep when it rains. And on both am still getting some running into the jeep. It could possibly be user install error.
Installation went fairly smooth, but did have to readjust a couple of times on each side.

as for testing, I will have to get back to ya as Murphy’s Law goes the past week and a half it has been pouring rain every afternoon and of course didn’t right after I installed these…but it is FL and it will happen this week again 😉

Hi John,

Yes, I used the threedom fob, and also the smallest threedom "micro" key holder

The leather key organizer I'm using is this one:

Amazon has less expensive offerings, but they get mixed reviews; I wanted one that would stay closed without loctite, and this one seems solid.

Perfect - thanks so much that is what I am looking for! Appreciate your response.

I drove round-trip from San Diego to San Antonio without stopping to pick up Firecracker, premium-upper half doors from a member on here. Really looking forward to throwing these on!

Trips stats to get them:
Hotels: 0
Miles: 2541
Time: 36 hours and 58 minutes door to door
Bugs killed: All of them, I think

Making it happen
What whip mount do you have, and where does it install? I was looking for a tailgate region, but I have the terrafoex hinge
Terraflex has a mount that will work with the Terraflex hinge or the stock hinge. I'll post a pic of mine later.

I believe it’s EZ trunk. The member I purchased the doors from threw it in the purchase last second. He was an incredibly cool guy. The cart folds up very compact.

Rugged Ridge Arcus bumper last night, skid plate this AM. Install would have been easier with an impact driver and/or a 2nd pair of hands. Zip-ties to hold one end up while getting a screw in was clutch on both the bumper and the skid plate. Overall, really happy with it, added the overrider after the fact, still debating if I want to keep it or not. Winch in the near future.

I installed a third brake light with a strobe feature. Installation was reasonably intuitive, which is just as well since the provided instruction sheet barely qualified as such.

This is a simple and straightforward hedge against inattentive and tailgating drivers.

Wanting to maintain the stock aesthetic, I selected the red lens. A smoked lens is also available.

To press the release tab on the rear of the wiring connector first requires removal of the light via a T25 star drive bit...which you'll already have handy, since it's also used to remove the trim piece on which the light is mounted.

New light in situ, and OEM vs. aftermarket comparison.

The new light works as advertised.

Did a couple things today.

1. Painted my muffler using Rustoleum High Heat BBQ spray paint

Before:

After:

2. Added another Quick Fist clamp to hold my pry bar. Now that it has a spot I hope it'll keep me from leaving it at trailhead parking lots

3. Also got this trail dust microfiber cloth in the mail.
