excuse me if i sound ignorant, but what are those bars (handles?) on you doors?
Ty

Those are door hinge steps. They have a good amount of them around. Amazon, SmittyBilt, MetalCloak, etc. They help if you store anything on the roof for easy access.

You'd get a ticket here for parking there if some busy body saw it and ratted you out

OEM black grill. I love the look and reminds me of my 2014 willys jk. Install took me an hour since I had to pull the front bumper slightly to gain access to remove the lower attachments. Pita.

That looks like an ingenious tool for helping to install wheels. Did you come up with that yourself? I Just installed a 1" spacer up front and decided to rotate the wheels while I was at it. My back can't handle these heavy ass wheels and tires anymore.

Yes I am in the AARP age group and have been feeling the ol back complaining after tire rotations. 100 pound tire/wheel combos are around 2/3 my body weight.
the tire jack is something I had toying around in my head for a couple years. Finally hadmotivation to build a prototype. The castor wheels help move the tire to and fro. The wooden wheels were made with a hole saw. These allow rotation of the tire while it is lifted to height to line up the studs.
It worked but imrpvments are needed. The 1/2 inch threaded rods are strong enough but the hinge bolt was a bit anemic and allowed the front and rear tire supports to twist on each other.

Added a console pistol mount from WPNGEAR for my EDC (link below). Love that it uses the factory bolt, so there’s no drilling involved. Also, I love supporting fellow veterans. Great company!

I got the last parking spot at work no one else wanted

I was right behind you in my Prius and you took my spot. I had to go out in the front landscaping and park on the rock garden

Added aluminum knob covers I bought on Amazon. The original finish was too shiny, so I sprayed a light coat of matte clear Rust-oleum. Now they're a closer match to the red factory dash. Hard to tell by the picture, but the matte finish reduced the gloss and shine.

Before:

After clear matt spray:

I did the light switch as well (not shown). For those interested, these are the ones I got, but there are plenty of them on Amazon and eBay.

For those who want different colors, they are out there - just have to look. You can also buy the silver ones and paint it with Dupli-color Metalcast, and finish it with the matte clear spray.

Looks good, good info, good idea!

I darkened up the license plate light to cut down on the glare at night in reverse worked pretty good. I didn't take any pictures though

Covered my hotheads for some added orange to my interior. Found a fabric with a subtle sun theme to match the Mojave vibe...
