AVS hood guard.
RR sill guards.
cquartz ceramic coat.
Access Literider soft tonneau cover.
door hinge protectors (was planning on painting them but the carbon fiber kinda blends in with the GCM paint)

dealer installed a cover over the rear skid that did Not get put on at the factory.

couple glitches along the way- forgot to attach long black wire to winch. Tedious chore doing it with winch and bumper installed...:headbang:
-one foglight did not work after bumper install. Thought I messed up the harness taking it out of the factory bumper. Turns out you can insert the foglight plug backwards! :giggle:

On the plus side, I was able to figure out how to secure the Arcus bumper to more easily get the final bolts in without help.
I was able to mod the winch box brackets to allow center placement.

Adjusted my 4x4 linkage today. Since new I've had an issue with the tcase not locking into 4hi unless I pull sideways toward neutral then back into the 4hi spot, and it almost never connected in 4lo and would pop back to neutral. I haven't had a need for 4lo yet but like to go out at least once a week to a gravel lot and manipulate the tcase, swat bar, and lockers so there are no surprises when I need tgem. Found a post on the jl forum on how to adjust the lever relative to the linkage and now all is good.

Pro tip: you don't have to remove the entire center console just the boot and bezel around the 4x4 lever and the front drivers side screw, pull the lever ba k to 4hi and you can manipulate the onsole enough to get a 1/4 ratchet with short socket in to loosen and tighten the nut.

So I took my wife to a Jeep event. By the end of the day it was raining and there was only one line to fill up tires. We waited for an hour before we were able to get the tires inflated. She noticed several Jeeps not stopping to fill up their tires. She ask me about it, and I told her about on board air. Well the next day she came up to me and said order one for the Jeep. Well I did and this is what I ended up with.
