What do yall use to protect the painted door sill?

I've seen Mopar, aftermarket but may not give a good seal with water and PPF.

Think I'm leaning towards film with Mopar

Finally got around to installing some chase lights on the Genright carrier.
Thanks to @BajaDesigns Brandon for always helping me out.

S2 Sport with the wide cornering is perfect for this.

I’ll have to program the Tazer Mini later to set the lights to flash under a custom lightshow.

I bought a 4" x 17' roll of XPEL Universal Bed Rail Guard. It looks great.

What dash cam would you recommend?
I use a GoPro, actually, shifting it between the Jeep and the motorcycles via easy-to-use RAM mounts. That might be a bit more trouble than most folks want, though.

There's a plethora of choices online, varying in cost and functioning. I chose this one for Offspring's vehicle, based on the price point and feature set. No complaints.

Can you do me a big favor and take a picture of how it looks when you have some free time?

Here's a couple photos of the XPEL that I installed on my new Ranger a few months ago. I used the same roll on the Jeep. The Wrangler is parked outside and it is snowing hard & 7° but thse pics will give you an idea. The stuff is super easy to apply (peel & stick)

Why do they remove it? Weight savings?
Why remove a perfectly good additional battery that the vehicle has been designed to run with? I like having the additional amp hours that I paid for and the additional life the main battery should see with a healthy ASS battery attached. The solution pictured makes that easily achievable if you’re not always running it.
There are many, many threads about the perils of that aux battery. Apparently you haven't experienced any of the failures. Yet.

Is this for the front cup holder? I broke the black clip up top, and I cannot seem to find a replacement. Care to share the part number?

Is that a light? My Jeep has no light! What sorcery is this?!

That is the cup holder light. There is supposed to be a black cover on it and it diverts the light forward & rearward. I just replaced mine a few days ago.

Doing my best to manage and share how I’m trying to avoid issues.
Thanks for the responses 😌

Amping up the charge rate now that it’s late.
