I haven't heard the wildpeaks MT's. I also have a premium soft top, but I have heard 0 road noise from them. I had a set of 285/70 on my Grand Cherokee and again, 0 road noise. They are my favorite tire by a mile.

I picked my jeep up from the dealer today and drove it about 120 miles! I installed the plastic floor mats designed by Quadratec and manufactured by WeatherTech as soon as I got home. I also lowered the tire pressure. Since it was 95 degrees today, I will install the entry guard (floor sill guards) by Quadratec and MORE dead pedal tomorrow. Then I will take the roof off and install the Hotheads headliners. LET THE FUN BEGIN!

I just noticed that you’re in Iowa too. I am in Des Moines. My tire guy told me about these tires. I was going to go with BFG KO2’s I looked up the reviews of the Falkens and was very impressed.

Looks like Bestop SKU 5241011?
If so, how does it ride? Wind noise, tightness and ease in removing/installing the freedom panels?

My bad! Yeah it’s the Bestop targa sun bikini https://www.bestop.com/jeep/2020/gladiator/standard-targa-sun-bikini/ - fits great, took it on the highway at 65 mph and was nice and snug. I haven’t put the panels back in yet but it seems like it will be easy enough to do working through the mesh. You remove two screws on each side of the door frame and replace with screw-in snaps so you can button down and cinch up nicely. The front of the screen has magnets to keep it in place.

Last night I wrapped my grille bezels to match my other blue accents. Probably nothing like @CK Wraps can do , but it turned out pretty good! I posted my DIY steps here: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/vinyl-wrap-grille-bezels.18211/

SEMA HERE YOU COME! Might have to do this with my White Sport S! did you just platidip this?

EDIT: Wait, you wrapped em? is there an inside bezel and outside bezel?

Has anyone looked at the Rough Country 3.5" lift kits? I'm not sure if mopar will release anything bigger than the 2". Shipping is supposed to be starting Friday...

I just had the RC 2 1/2 put on my overland. I love it. 35’ Falkens and Mopar beadlocks go on later this week. Got rid of the factory rake too.

Sioux City here. I bought a set of ko2 when I switched sizes on my JK and regretted it every day. Really loving my at3w in 35's. Only complaint is they are a little small for 35s

Thank you, I might pull the trigger on the 3.5 and see how it works. I’ll post photos when it’s done. I’m getting my 35” installed tomorrow on Black Rhino Armory rims.

Thanks for the info VT, that pretty much sold it for me. Think I’ll get one for the fall.

There are six pieces in total. Three honeycomb and three inserts. Here's my DIY write up:
https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/vinyl-wrap-grille-bezels.18211/

As this was my first time wrapping they didn't come out as well as expected, as a few areas are now peeling away, so I'll be removing the vinyl and doing blue Plastic dip next week.

I changed to location of my hi lift jack, installed a off road light, replaced the factory antenna.

I'll try this with Black, on my white JT. Thanks for the write up.
