Ready for the weekend!
All 4 doors removed for the first time and installed new JPeggz door-off mirrors with foot rest.

https://www.jpeggz.com/

Mainly ordered these mirrors for 3 reasons:
1) They fit both my JT & JK.
2) Other reviewers say they don’t move in the wind.
3) Made in the USA!

Next: Need some door hangers for the wall!

Update from April 2022: I have moved away from the Jpeggs mirrors after a couple of years use. They require heavy tightening to not move, to a point where my door bracket on the Jeep actually shifted. So when putting the door back on the nut would not line up with the thread. After doing some research online I found this to be a common problem with these mirrors. I took the advice of others and loosened the door bracket and reposition it correctly. Then had to use touch up paint where the paint was slightly damaged. Needless to say, no longer a fan of the JPegg mirrors. I actually gave them away and explained to the other Jeep owner friend what can happen.

Since then, I bought CMM mirrors to replace them. Cost over twice the price, but easier to change over, cleaner look and better design in general.

I put my Extang 2.0 on my JT and caved on the ESS and did the 2nd hood not closed switch unplug. Lasted 4 whole days and said enough of this crap.

What hi - temp paint did you use to paint your calipers ?
I used duplicolor caliper paint from auto zone. I did the brush on type instead of spray paint. I did two good coats on all of them and let them dry for 24hrs before I drove.

Umm, looks like the original reached 99 pages and was closed for more replies. So keep posting here!

I had tint done to front 2 windows, bug deflector installed, wayout style wrap installed, tires cleaned. 303 applied to tonneau cover.

EDIT: forgot to mention possibly the most important mod, ceramic coated grille, grille guard, and double ceramic coated windshield. FU bugs! Try sticking to all my ceramic now..... Stupid bugs.

You are on a mod roll. Looking good! Our second love bug season here in Florida is beginning. Will see how well my ceramic coating works.

Installed my wheels and had the front side windows tinted to match the back.

What’s your thoughts on the front windows for inspection? It looks great but in NY I’ll have to rip off the tint every year to get it inspected

We don’t have inspections in SC. The tint shop states it is legal as long as it matches the legal tint on the back. It looks darker in the pic than what it actually is. It is the heat resistant tint to help cut down on interior heat. I asked it they could lay tint over the back half and they said yes. I may do it later.

I just need to find some in channel visor vents so I can leave the windows cracked.

My guy said they have clear ceramic tint you can apply to just cut down on heat. Can do to windshield or rear windows.

Let me know how you applied the fluid film (Cans? sprayer?) and how it went. Nice JT!
