I had to leave mine at the dealer another couple days...
They finally received & installed the VSS, and that's all good.
However, when they went to replace the trim panel (it had a broken mounting tab) over the driver's door disconnect plug, they claim they found the plug on the door harness side was broken (it was split right down the middle.)
Now, I wonder why they even had that connector apart, as it wasn't necessary to disconnect it to replace the trim panel...

Anyway, they had one in stock, but I guess they didn't realize I'd added the Passive Entry feature, so they had the wrong door harness, and had to order the right part.

I've gotta wonder what's next...

Thanks! I’m going to take off the little wing attachments on the bumper and remove the “worthless” plastic skid plate but I’m not trying to go crazy because I still load up motorcycles in the bed so I’m not trying to go too high so the Mopar 2in lift is perfect. Everyone thinks I’m trying to be cheap but I actually like these stock wheels. My only issue is that the tires rub on a full turn on the lower control arm so I’m debating on spacers or if I should just go with mopar wheels with a negative offset if they offer it.
Looks good.

I also like the OEM wheels on my JTR and am planning to also go with Mopar 2" and 35's. I did pretty much the same thing with my JK and ended up having to get wheel spacers which worked perfectly for me. Not sure if I will have to do that with the JTR.

I like it! Those wheels were my first option, but the wifey wouldn’t agree to bronze. I wanted them in black, but couldn’t find them in stock “due to COVID”.....Very nice.

Thanks! I wanted a pop of color with all the grey and black, and I think the bronze does that perfectly.
The old lady is getting my overland wheels and my Dick Cepek Trail Country tires for her Wrangler, so she didn't have any complaints! Haha.

Hi Tango! Can you post a picture from the front? I’m looking to buy these same wheels and I’m interested to see how much poke these wheels have, thx!

Picked up my jewel after the dealer installed the MOPAR lift. Loved the drive home, felt it handled better than the 2021 had with the MetalCloak lift (RIP Gladys). Height seems good. Next up, shoes.

Smittybilt X20 10k winch in factory winch ready bumper

Factor55 Ultrahook red but will switch to gray

Mopar grille guard

Upcoming

Thursday - Armorlite interior flooring

painting my red hooks and highlights gun metal or black - re-powdercoat them if this is possible

going to relo the winch control box to a frame rail and reinstall the bumper winch cover to completely conceal the winch. This requires the winch to be rotated. I saw a great post on it and will follow accordingly. Stealth AND protects the line

Replacing black oxide torx bumper bolts with stainless equivalents. I like a stealth, slight aggressive look.

very light ceramic tint on front windshield to know down some of the heat gain

LineX paint job on car (white)

Debadge all RubI stickers.
