Took delivery and drove it home, then modified it with 19 miles on it.


3. Short antenna (what do you think of red?)
Good looking Jeep!

I have (I believe) the same antenna off Amazon.
Looks great, but I have lost FM reception.
Didn’t bother me till in the woods with no data and trees blocking satellite radio.

Only took 1week after shattering my front windshield to get a brand new one installed... originally thought it would take a month.

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.

This is about the best I’ve seen for the JL. What are your thoughts so far? Can this be used with a soft top retracted down?

I was at 3000 miles...the 45mph with the front window down not strapped is a lie. lol... I was doing 39 when it came up and spider cracked the whole thing $475 installed and I paid $100 deductible. I was told it would be at least 1 month due to being back ordered but was happy when it arrived and was installed today a week after breaking it.

Sorry about yours and hope you get it replaced quick!!

Was surprised to see my steps came in today since extremeterrain said it would ship until the 28, but I'm glad. They stick out a little farther than I thought, but I won't be doing a lot of rock crawling so I'm not too worried about it hitting a rock; just a lot of overlanding!!

Also put on a fun decal since this is my daily and I love this show.

Added mag lite and poison spider roll cage holster. Anyone know if alkaline batteries will survive the summer heat in the jeep or am I gonna be looking at a mess in the mag lite in a few weeks?

Also added some cup holder accent mats!

It is a great looking bumper. Unfortunately one of my criteria is that my next new front bumper must accept the factory fog lights.
I agree 100%. I called them and they said they did not and will not make any provisions for the factory fog lights, bummer!

Sting Gray JLU Sahara
Since I got my sticker this morning (Sting gray Sahara), figured I'd start the spending now. Spiderweb sunshade, Mopar fuel filler, Mopar door sills, and screen protector ordered.

Had grab handles in the basket but can't decide on what I want exactly.

DIY door and hardtop cart is next on the short list

If you look at the back corners there are no mounting points for the soft top uprights. I don't think it will work with the soft top. Diabolical Inc is coming out with a JL version of their slipstream which looks similar. I'm waiting for that one. Same price I think as this one but it'll work with both tops and is hinged to open.
