Got tint put on today.

Did you just tint the front ? Of did you double tint the rear and limo tint the front ? I've been curious about what % tint would match the rear windows and if ceramic or traditional tint matches best ?

Llumar IRX Ceramic Tint. 30% front, 15% rear/back. The back combined with the existing privacy glass brings it to about 5% equivalent (limo tint). The front looks a touch lighter most of the time but I expected that (I didn't want to go any darker than 30% in the front). Some angles it matches surprisingly close though.

From what I've gathered from others, 20/25% matches well with the existing privacy glass if your just looking to match the front and back. Most quality tint shops can measure the glass with a meter and give you their closest match in terms of darkness. I wanted the maximum heat/UV protection (especially on the rear where the baby seat is) so I went with ceramic for all of it.

MetalCloak Rear Sway Bar Reinforcement Bracket

Installed successfully but had to deviate slightly from MetalCloak's instructions.

For 2021 JTs, there is a bracket on both sides and a what looks to be heat shield on the driver side. The heat shield you have to toss, there is no room for it. You have to sandwich the reinforcement bracket between the frame rail and the OEM bracket. Also the bolt and washers that come with the bracket are not needed for 2021 JTs.

Hope this makes sense.

This is super cool

Ran the wire harness and wired them to the Aux Switch 2

Would love to get more info as to how there are installed.
That is OEM plastic front bumper, correct?

Was looking to find how the fogs were mounted and led me to Mopar 82215428 Auxiliary Light Mount Brackets.

Thanks for the link.

I wasn’t planning any side steps until I added the AEV spacer lift. These are Iron Cross sidearm. Thanks to fellow forum member a good investment. I’ll see how they go but the step is pretty solid.

Funny my wife made note of how the front light bar seems to match the AEV center caps.

Finished my rewire. The drl and turn signals are now operational

Thank you to @ORACLElights great idea with the pod lights

Washed it (and my wife's too)
I have a question that hopefully you, or someone who sees this, can answer. Because you have these 2 vehicles and bumpers. Any idea if the 10th anniversary steel rubicon bumper
(made for the JK i think) will fit a 22 rubicon gladiator? I found what I think is a good buy, but not making the drive until I know for sure. The seller says it will fit, but

BTW, love the nacho JT. Just traded my hellayella JL, for a granite JT.
