Installed trail rail system and an $80 Craigslist tonneau cover. Tyger T3. It looks pretty well built to be honest but it could be a bit longer. It will have me ready for my trip during Labor Day week.

Installed my BAK X4 Revolver cover. Has been said before, but will +1 that instructions aren't the best and the top bulkhead rubber sleeve fasteners are crap. Otherwise, the cover is great, fits well, looks good, feels quality(time will tell).

Got and installed my Softtopper today. Amazing quality, and love the way it looks! The material matches the factory sailcloth perfectly.

Let there be light!

Installed the Oracle LED strips to the bed. Tapped them into the factory bed light on each side & stuck them under and to the far side of my Rebel Off-Road trail rails. Had to cut them a bit as they were a wee bit long. During the day, you can see the strips while, at night, you can’t see the diodes under the trail rails. Not a huge deal at all, especially since I’ll be getting the JCR Bed Side MOLLE panels soon which will hide the diodes but still provide a great deal of light.

Is that the Mopar bed cover?
It is not. Its' the Access Lite Rider cover. I need to add a small 1/8-1/4" weather stripping the length of the rail between the 2 rack towers to make it seal tight again.

It's a bit of a pain to use, but IMO it is what it is. I knew that going in an I rarely use the tonneau anyway. At best, I fold back the first 12" to allow for an easier angled carry of dimensional lumber.

Made up some headliners. Couldn't justify the $300-500 for hot heads or mopar's kit.

Total cost $45 in material. Still need to cut out a section for the rear, but have plenty of material left to do it.

Got to installing my ACE rock sliders.

Came out nice and solid...only issue was there was not enough spacing on the drivers side between the Ace rock rails and my rubicon ones....

I used some rubber spacers to solve that.

As per Ace the rubicon rails have some adjustment in them also if you have that issue.

This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F333H26/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and 1/4" pink foam board insulation from the orange box.


Foam is tricky in terms of gluing, but wood glue and hot glue work without melting the foam. The headliner is simply glued and wrapped around the edges. I used velcro to attach it to the freedom panel so I could remove it if needed for vacuuming, adding patches, etc.

Much appreciated, I, like you just can't seem to justify the cost of hot heads or other products. Thanks!
