What happened to the original thread. Just tried looking for it for a while

 

[JOKER8R]

Added a couple Pixel Decals, more to come

 

[Strider62]

A little more catch-up...

Hung a Lusso trash bin on the pax seat. When I’ve got a pax I just spin it around to hang behind the seat. You can hang easily hang it in other locations, too.

Put the canine seat protector package on the rear seats and doors

Discovered the rear cup holders are a good fit for my fire extinguisher (temporarily) and my UEBoom Bluetooth speaker

If you’re looking for a bluetooth speaker, I highly recommend UEBoom. Been using them for years, hauled the all over the world and to some pretty heinous environments and they’ve never failed. You can run two or more at the same time on the same device to get true stereo

and they come in lots of colors to match your rig...


And I slapped on a small vinyl SF magnet next to my fuel door. Not where I wanted to put it, but oddly enough most of the body (like the tailgate and the front fender!!) is apparently not ferrous enough for the magnet to grab onto.

Decided I wanted to put a hood decal on my JT to cut the sun glare, seems like I am driving right into the sun on my way in and home from work. Couple spots it gets so bad I just point in the direction I think I should go and pray. Putting the decal on was easier than I thought it would be. Actually went pretty smooth. I decided I would add some striping around the edge because I thought the black was a little plain. So added 1/4 inch red stripe around decal. Decided it needed to flow around the coal panel to look right so I took off the wipers and panel and striped around the bottom and wall to get it to look right. Put it back togetehr and voila! I think it looks alright.

That looks very nice, the red really sets it off. Is it a Mopar decal? I think I would like one like yours on the hood and the black stripe across the tailgate that I have seen on here.

Thanks. I picked the black decal on Ebay. In state seller so I wanted to throw some business their way. The striping is just 3M pin stripe. I thought about the black in the back but I want to keep it sort of subtle with the enhancements. I have black and red wheels to put on in the spring so until I see what they look like I won't do much more. Here's the seller info.

Very sharp. This thread is going to nickel and dime me to poverty

nickel and dime --- lol

more like hundred dollar truck -- cause every time, I see something on here and go to order, before I am done the cart total is OVER a hundred

 

[Grabberbluemach]

Hate it or not, I did it anyway lol

 

[jrf]

I wouldn't do it to mine but I love that you did it. I think it looks great. Is that all a wrap or paint? Assuming the wheels are paint? It needs a winch though...that's clutch

Now they just need to make another movie...hahahahaha

Stripes are vinyl on top of Gobi. Stock wheels are just plastidipped for now until I get a lift and new wheels. Those will be painted or powder coated. Had my wheels on my JK powder coated and they’re hard to clean so I’m leaning towards paint

 

[jrf]

Those will be painted or powder coated.

I have no personal experience but have read in at least a few places (AEV is one of them) to avoid powder coating aluminum wheels.

This is from their site in the FAQ on their wheels:

Painting is definitely the way to go. As a general safety precaution, AEV does not recommend powder coating any cast aluminum wheels. The heat range and duration of the powder coating process may overlap the heat treating and aging of aluminum wheels. For this reason, powder coated wheels will not be covered under AEV’s lifetime structural warranty.​
