Nice skills!

I built it a hat rack. The index pin in the front locks into the rack so it wont slide around. I'll take some measurements and better photos once I put everything back on and do a simple write up.

I like the soft top and black fenders. I guessed NJ just from the picture... ha ha... me too. Anyways, is that the standard soft top or what they call the premium soft top? What’s the difference?
Thanks!

It's a base Sport with Automatic in Gobi with the standard soft top.

I spend the summer in LBI, hopefully with the top down, so the soft top was my preference.

Quite the rig! What keeps the freedom panels from falling off the sides? And do the doors just stand up on the bottom shelf?
I had initially planned on having a bungee that went across them but after placing them in there after the hard top they don't move. The side of the top keeps them in no problem. I have the hot heads full liner so they just lean against the padded insert. I will still do the bungie incase I try to move the top before placing moving the freedom top panels

Currently the are just leaning but are quite stable. I plan using a bungee on each door to hold them apart. One to the side and one to the middle. Or I may just wrap them in packing blankets. For 6 bucks a piece I could pick up a few and protect the doors and top from amazon boxes, beer cans and grocery bags...

I would agree. The top looks great. When I first seen the photos of the JT I did not think I liked them with the black top and fenders on any color other than the black trucks. At the time I had a white JK with the black top and fenders and loved it. I thought it would look odd on a truck. After being a few it grew on me.

I see like me you put wheels on your JT that where on your JK. My dealer put the wrong lug nuts on mine and I had a wheel get very loose after my wife lady took it on a long road trip. The studs are a bit larger so the lug nut that they put on where a bit larger also. When I had them rotate the tires before her trip the socket must of got jammed up between the wall and the lug so the tech assumed that the lug was tight. By time the wife lady got home the rear passenger was loose.

That is honestly 1 of the cleanest rigs on here! I'm not a fan of chrome wheels but that was a great call on the white. Really nice looking Jeep!!

I don't want to like anything about the 20" chrome wheels but I do like this rig. Don't tell my friends:punch:;)

That is AWESOME... really looking forward to the specifics on measurements... this looks like a fun project when it starts getting warmer.

Not done yet, but in the final stages of receiving all the parts to install Euro spec rear fog lights. I'll be doing a write up "how to" with part numbers and directions once done. These will replace the stock reflectors in the rear bumper. Still a few unknowns, whether the US spec headlight/foglight controller will operate them without having to replace with the Euro spec controller, and to verify the wiring is already there in stock form, and just adding pins to the existing bumper harness connectors. Hoping to have completed by weekend of the 27th, and have this appear fully factory stock when done.

Edit: until I can get the wiring diagram for the JT and it's connectors, I'll have to wire these to the aux switch. Spent the morning tracing wires, and cannot find where the 2 unknown wires terminate or connect. They're the right colors, but there's so many uses of the same wire colors throughout the JT, I don't want to risk shorting something. The JL and JT have similar, but vastly different connections from the cab back, so using the JL wiring diagram only goes so far, until everything is completely different for connectors splitting side to side.

Awesome. I was going to do the backup lights in the bumper. This is a great alternative.

Added my Sunrider and some little plastic door clips. Super happy with both!

Are the door clips you added for anything other than aesthetics? I have seen a few people adding them lately. Thanks!

Those rhino grip, can you lock them?
I haven't really thought about it or was a concern. I'll only have a shovel on there when I camp or go off-road. Other than maybe a cable lock would work, i can't see any other way.
