Ah I see now, I think. Looks like you have the handles further towards the back of the truck on the back doors if I'm seeing things correctly. I'm assuming they normally go one more bolt location forward towards the front of the truck. Makes sense now, I appreciate the generous offer on the washers but I don't have any little ones around anymore unless the grandkids are in town and 3 of them are under 2 so no issues with them trying to get in by themselves.....yet.

BTW had to pull both front fenders off again. One of the fender lights had an issue so they sent me a new one. I ended up ordering a wiring harness for plug n play that had a 3 light option coming off of the harness so I ended up removing the taps and sealing the wires where they were attached. I ordered more clips since the first time most of them broke. Thought that it was funny that I had 5 clips left over from the first removal so I ordered 20 more and this time only 1 clip broke on one side and 3 clips broke on the other. At least I have plenty left over for next time lol.
I hear you. Nice job getting rid of the taps. They last for a while, but seldom forever. I had to remove my driver side to replace the aux battery last week. I bought 24 more clips in advance as I only had a few left from the last time. I only saved three this time, so I was happy to have them.

Funny how it's hit or miss on how many are going to break. Better safe than sorry for sure.

It was cold and I wasn’t being that gentle. I know I had plenty to replace them.

Yea I wasn't as gentle or scared this time. I did lay under and gently get the 2 at bottom back side then pulled away. Thought about you while doing it. Much easier this time and shocked that not many broke ?

Same for me. The first time, I was apprehensive. The second and third I just pulled and watched for any significant sheet metal flex.

My first grill wrap failed and started peeling after a year. Finally found another company that made a better looking one. I took it to a professional wrap installation place as I knew with my patience, it would have been bad. Glad I did as the owner of the shop wrestled with it for two hours. He spent another 30 minutes trimming it which really confirmed why I didn’t attempt the install. Super happy with the final look,

Hi, I took possession of it, well technically yesterday:). My first Jeep ever. It’s a 2020 sport with approx 37k miles.

I got the drawer ONLY on the 40% side... Looks like around three more weeks. The Dogs can't wait they hate this temporary thing... But, as I tell them, it's better than staying home right?
Nice idea.

No! I would never lower my standards. :{)
I am a dirt digger or retired dirt digger! Ran a county hand crew. After two back surgeries and 35 years, they made me quit.

Gotcha! I saw the red line in the flag and thought you might be. :)
