Installed the Oracle LED Cargo Bed Light Strips yesterday. I installed them on the bottom of the trail-rails and spliced them into the factory LED bed lights. Couple of things I learned is that they were too long but you can easily cut them, and then I dipped the cut ends in liquid electrical tape to seal them up. The factory wiring harness did fall back into the cavaity and it wasn't too hard to fish back out with one of my o-ring picks, so I learned to temporarily duct tape the harness so it wouldn't fall back in. Also I used a razor blade to score around the factory light and it helped to remove it. It seemed like it had some type of adhesive on it. And after I installed them back in place I used a little clear silicone to get a good water tight seal. Like most jobs, the first side took me about an hour, the second side took me 20 minutes. They are very bright and only cost about $40 for the pair. Very happy with them.

I carry every day at work, and as a "full size" individual an OWB holster is a tight fit while sitting in the seat. I also don't like just leaving my gun "floating" while driving. Cheap simple solution from Amazon in an adjustable MOLLE holster.... I can still reach easily while driving, and it is low enough and on the inside portion of the passenger seat so that it is not readily apparent through the windows from the outside. It is definitely cheap compared to what I normally spend on holsters, but we will see how it holds up. And before I get lectured, I do not leave my firearms unattended in my vehicle.

Jeesh! By full size, do you mean Andre the giant? I’m 5’8, 190lbs and there’s no way I could hide that thing lol. The G27 in an owb has been my daily driver for years. Recently picked up the Springfield Hellcat and paired it with a crossbreed iwb. Disregard everything I just said if your gun is part of your uniform at work. Lol

JTops mesh top and CMM mirrors

You can leave the mesh top installed when you put the top back on, right?

Not today, but yesterday I added proximity entry to my Sport S.

I hated having a push-button start, but still having to get the keys out every time in my JLU, so it almost pushed me to get the Rubicon. Now since they relaxed the options on the Sport S I was able to get my 4.10s, 8.4 with Alpine, the nice sticker for payload and towing, flares that separate, and add proximity for about $350.

How do you add the proximity access? Thanks

Looks great! How was the install?

As you did the install, did the mounting materials give you a feeling of confidence as to the adhesive maintaining its grip long-term during the LasVegas sun's incessant beating?

Did you instal the side panels? I ordered them after I installed the headliners and road noise is significantly lower.

Thanks! I dig it. I’ll like it even more when the smell dissipates (how come no one ever mentioned the smell?)

When you say ‘incessant beating’ do you mean any given day of the week in Summer? Ha!

With that in mind I went crazy with the prep. Took me like 2 1/2 hours total. I scuffed everything real good and probably cleaned with acetone 6 times each area where it was going to adhere.

Since I got the sound assassins also, I used the roller on the panels as well as pressing with the included board.

Sure did:

We took an excursion to the Colosseum Mine with about half an hour of 80mph driving and I noticed the difference in road noise right away. I’ll even say it actually does make the stereo sound better too since there is now some reduction in the hard surfaces.

Just because I'm curious: Did you remove the back half of the hard top for the install, or did you install those rear strips/panels with the top in place?

Just cause I didn’t want the white dust everywhere inside due to the sanding, I took it off for all of it.
