With Christmas this weekend, I figured it was time to get into the festive spirit.

The discount price of $344 is great, but $216 shipping is a deal killer for me.

Still the best price for Aluminum protection you can find, and it's engine, trans, transfer case. Plus it's 50% off shipping, so $450 total.

I added the only badge that matters to me.

Added the CMM grab handle and A pillar mounts. I'm very impressed with them, they are really well made and very solid. Still not sure which one I'm putting my phone on though....

Also put in my Rokblokz front flaps. PSA for those with Mojave's, don't do like I did and order without the cutouts.. I misread a forum post and thought I did not need it... I do wish Rokblokz said that both the Rubi and Mojave use the same cutout, but oh well.

At least they were nice enough to send me a template and I was able to easily cut them out.

I was unaware of these. Bought one and the X Grip phone holder for my radio. Thanks!

I didn't get that option. Must have expired. It's small and light enough, I wonder why they require air freight.

Comes from Israel. Regular freight is almost as much and takes significantly longer. Received this in just a few days.

Same deal still going on...$452

Tonneau cover installed! Bakflip X4S. Easy install just took my time and followed directions. I didn’t realize it has channels to mount crossbars. Pretty cool.

That rubber underneath looks neater than the felt on my x4, hopefully it stays glued on!
The channels do come in handy. I use them for Yakima crossbar and ski rack. Other options..

Yeah... time to get in the holiday spirit. Mount the .50 cal and do my best Die Hard.

I added these vintage SAHARA decals to go with the vintage-looking wheels

More pics, please. This is very well done. White letter tires, rim and paint combo.... digging it.
Please tell me you dropped a chrome bed bar and some KCs with old school smilie faces.

I finally put my DV8 LED Stock Copycat Headlights on. It was 24* when I did it(I am in. Cedarburg, Wi currently). I just plug and played the headlight, didn’t hook up the halo or the turn signals yet. I will do th you a when I get back to TN for Christmas… nothing like a TN Christmas!! (I’ll be back in TN tomorrow or Friday and it’s going to be in the 70’s!! ).

I’ve ridden and test driven Jeeps with LED package recently (was thinking about a 2021 diesel JT Rubicon swap… too many issues with current diesel for me. I know it’s a crap shoot, but honestly my Jeep JT is paid off and the 3.6 has been reliable and with Taser, 4:10 and 37’s does really well!).
So the stock LED package is a huge improvement over my factory 2020 halogen BS headlights I bought some DV8 headlights a month ago and after a 600 mile drive at night , was glad I brought the DV8 LEDs with me to install. I have diode dynamic HID yellow fogs to install with new Arcus bumper.

DV8 is a huge improvement over stock halogen and I believe they are better than stock LED headlights. I adjusted them to 3ft height (you will need an extended length standard width flat head screw driver for driver’s side because of HVAC lines), excellent cutoff and not a single flash from other drivers last night even on country single lane roads (my halogens were getting angry flashes after the lift where the JT currently sits ass end down about 1.5”es.). DV8’s look like stock and with my black headlight bezel look awesome! They are re so much better at night dims and brights, that it is a crime not to swap halogen out for these.

I love them!! Bright on these is ridiculously bright with straight long beam pattern.
