“Bash”iman helped me out with a little JKS quick disconnect afternoon project. Always love cutting into my JEEP!

I installed the Alpine PSS-23WRA today. It definitely woke up the sound in the truck. Between the rebate & the quadratec discount for forum members I am going to be into it about 1050 which is still more then the individual components cost. But the harness's make it worth it to me. I didnt want to cut the factory wiring at all & with this its all plug & play & could be removed in an hour with everything back to completely factory config so I dont feel bad about the cost.

Thanks! It's coming along.

I have. With the way I have the lights positioned, I can just rotate the uppermost pods on each bracket to the outside slightly, almost so they're situated diagonally, and the windshield clears them just fine. You can kind of see what I mean here (old picture):

Truthfully, I don't lower the windshield much so it's not a huge deal for me.

I hadn’t considered that due to my OCD wanted them perfectly level and parallel to each other, but that might work. It’s close enough I also thought about just slotting the bracket more on the cowling and each light bracket.

I found these grommets, I'll let you know if that works. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCIWGM6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They fit very well. I'll probably rerun my wire thru the frame. Is it possible to run the cord down the lenght of the frame?

Installed the @Bestop two piece doors and the Lange original mirrors. Passenger side mirror is useless with upper half of door on. Pretty good fit and some minor tweaking to be done. Overall, I am very pleased. Will run like this all summer.

How are the mirror? I wanted to get those but worried about the cost and wondered if it was worth it.

Today was an easy one... Added Wireless CarPlay (picture of the module installed below)... Installed a Tazer JL Mini & the quadratec center console organizer.. All of about 10 minutes, most of which was playing with the Tazer.

How do you like your CPLAY2air?

 

[JustinWPI11]

Put on DV8 side steps. Like the look and my son can now get into the Jeep on his own. Install was okay, had to open us the pinch seem holes to fit.

So far so good. The auto connect is on the slow side, but it’s not so bad that you notice it if you start the engine before doing all the seatbelt and other assorted crap before you start driving as it’s on before I make it out of the driveway.

If you are running the mirrors for just going doorless then they are great. Upper half of door blocks the passenger side. Other than that they are fine. I also have some kikbax I use.

I do run them perfectly even and level on the street. This is really just for maintenance/routing wires, or maybe slow cruising on the beach. I haven't actually run on the road with the windshield down. I'm not sure of the legality of it here in TN so I haven't taken the chance.

Used a clay bar and got most of the bedliner over spray off that the dealership did. Wash it. Waiting on my Led Turn signals to be delivered today

 

[Dainbramaged]

Saw some very reasonably priced EAG tube doors on another thread and ordered a set of four last week. Perfect day today to install and go for a ride through country roads. Next week will see a 2.5 suspension lift and 35-ish Ridge Grapplers.

Not technically my JT but setup jeep tent behind it in yard today.

Cool looking tent info? link?

Yes my wires are inside the frame from the rear all the way to the front. Never had to pull out or anything.
