Canadian it was $1890 and converted over that’s around $1400 USD. I got the highest end service which is their “Gold” package. I was going to get their Silver package which probably would have been fine at $900 USD. My neighbour has a friend with a detailing business and his cost would have been much cheaper, but since the dealership was paying for 12 hours of labour for paint correction, I decided to go with these guys as well, their reviews for detailing were excellent. That said...the above prices are before paint correction. Originally the quote I got over the phone was around $300 for paint correction as my JT was new and never washed. Little did I know about the damage done to it by the dealership detailers they were originally using...Paint correction was billed to the dealership at $700 USD which they took care of for me.

It can be done DIY but I don’t have any of the skills or patience to do a proper paint correction. Everything I’ve researched is if the paint is properly polished and prepped the better the outcome. If the preparation of your paint isn’t done right, the ceramic coating will just lock in the swirls and imperfections.
Thanks for the info!!

Ordered my Rock Hard sliders with angled up steps and picked up a set of Rubicon springs and shocks. Install on all parts soon. Hopefully the delivery for the sliders will not take too long.

I just ordered a set of the Oracle Bed lights. Mind sharing any issues you had tying them into the existing rear bed lights? Thanks!

Between Sunday and today I installed hotheads headliners, added 3 decals (have two more to do) and installed my tonneau cover. Here are the decals so far.

Mopar LED headlight install. It's just not even close how much clarity these lights add without being stupid bright like Toyota and Mazda can be. Sincerely recommend if you don't mind the 2-3 month backorder.

I got anywhere from 3-3/8” to 4” depending on where on the roof I measure as it isn’t perfectly flat. Highest point is rear the corners of the rack and they sit 4” above but the roof has a bit of a slope at that point.

Installed my rear RokBlokz! It started pouring rain when I got to the fronts, job for tomorrow looks like. I'm really happy with them. The brackets the rear flaps instal with are really heavey duty and look well made. I had to back off the nut and bolt on both sides to get my OEM bolt through the top hole, not sure of its designed that way or not. Was absolutely nothing to do it. They look sharp and will offer some protection I desperately need. After towing a small trailer with 2 kayaks on it 200km (125miles) on gravel, I have 50-60 small chips in the paint on my tailgate. Not sure whats next sill gaurds probably and a 3m clear wrap for additional protection.
