ORACLElights · Apr 7, 2026

Alright, let’s see it! What’s changed on your Wrangler so far this year? Could be anything… suspension tweaks, lighting, armor, wheels, or even just finally getting it out on the trails since it's starting to warm up!

Sharing a shot from Michael (@nymigs on IG). This thing keeps getting better every time we see it!

What have you added or changed in 2026, or what's on the list to come soon?

… I just bought it lol

I did just order an overhead molle rack from PPE Off-road which eventually will house the GMRS and TismBoard switches. GMRS will be the Wouxun KG1000G+. Still trying to decide on antenna and mount.

Nothing new yet. New tyres soon, sticking with BFG but will be KO3’s replacing the KO2’s.

If you are wondering what it would look like to crash your Jeep into that fifth generation white convertible Mustang next to you....

It’s funny because only the bumper was scratched but not because the mustang got crunched.

Sadly, not. Though, I’m not sure it was judged at all (3 very long days, 12-14 hours, and nary a judge to be seen).

Well…..
After a terrible time with a Stealership while trying to buy a new 2026, it was decided by the “crew” that we were going to add some things to make our Jeep more bulletproof, comfortable, quieter, and keep people guessing that while she LOOKS Stock, something’s are different!

So Upgrades coming:
1) 5 new 285/70-17 BFG’s
2) Revesol Leather wrapped custom steering wheel
3) KATSKINZ Custom Leather seat kit with Seat Heaters
4) PPE Front and Rear Nodular Cast Iron Diff Covers

New winch-capable bumper and winch, some new amber fog lights, Bilstein 5100 shocks, Fishbone rock sliders (that were able to be mounted alongside the stock Mopar rock sliders -double protection!) lastly, a midland MTX275 GMRS radio.

Added the Halo 6” lights(spot and flood), a Badlands 12k winch (wenchs we’re back order), Wolfbox 3 camera system, and tons of wax.
This picture is right after I detailed it a day after we got home from doing trails in Ocala National Forest and the Jeep was filthy. I thought for sure we damaged the paint with Florida pin stripes on narrow trails - was shocked to see it was fine.
