Just ordered 4-Fox performance 2.0 IFP JL Shocks for 2-3” lift. Looks like 30 days shipping time. Can’t wait. LOL

Installed steel Rubicon front/rear takeoffs and the tailgate reinforcement.

Can’t mount the skid plate yet because the brackets mount to the frame differently than the plastic airdam. I need to track down some riveting nut plates that are the right size for the bolts.

That happened to me. I used a drill bit and slotted it bigger. It’s not as pretty as before but it does work perfectly now.
I sent it back to Quadratec, and since they had a hard time processing an exchange, I ordered another one from amazon...hopefully just a bad batch.

Yeah it’s a lot like window tint. I found it to be a pain at first but with some patience it comes out pretty nicely. Just use lots of soap spray and keep it wet.
The front sills are straighter, ergo easier, and I got the hang of it (i think), but the pre-cuts were just a bit too big to get a good hand-hold. I’d have to remove the sliders to get access to the lower edge in order to lift/squeegee. Probably easier to use clear packing tape!

I was thinking of rhino’ing it

Yeah, NC DMV is REAL funny...ha...ha...l...o...l... So I had to order a personalized plate. I mean, if it was “-bot”, i might have kept for awhile, but it was just a number, begging the question from my wife if the first xxxx-1 FEM’s were taken? :angry:

Installed rear deck from jeepbackbone.com

My commute is garage to covered parking so the rear deck will allow me to travel through light rain without putting the hard top on. Also I like the security feature to allow a briefcase or golf clubs to be in the truck and locked. Once my half doors arrive, I plan on extending the deck all the way to the front seat for more of a "truck" look.

Shipping was fast and accurate by jeepbackbone and the product is top notch. I was seriously considering a DIY but when the deck arrived, I'm sure glad I didn't attempt the project.

Finally got her topless this weekend. South Louisiana rain is so unpredictable this time of the year. Also plasti-dipped the emblems, silver on the front bumper and around the grill and headlights. Small change that I think made a huge difference.

Just did a few additions.

Blackout hood with red trim, matte black USA and Arizona flag in the rear side windows, bartact front storage pouch, Mopar grab handles front and rear sets, fire extinguisher, mag light holder
Where did you get the mag light holder?

How long would it take you to remove if you had to use the full cargo capacity? Is it a hinged top?

Probably 30min to remove. It would come off in 3 pieces with the rear piece easy to remove with two bolts inside the trunk that could be wing nuts, 5 bolts holding the 2 top pieces together. 5 wing nuts connecting the second horizontal piece to the 3rd angled piece behind the rear seats and 2 big nuts securing the angled piece to the rear seat attachments.

The top is not hinged together, it's fixed together with 5 bolts underneath.
