Roll-up Tonneau Cover Reinstall & Tonneau Lock Install Decided to pull off the Mopar cross bars and put the roll tonneau cover back on. I didn't take good photos when I pulled it off, so here are better photos of the reinstall. Bed has a hole on the top for the plastic alignment pin on the...

Posted this on my build page. Reposting here since lessons learned may apply to other brake controller install, especially with ones that use the Teknosha wiring harness. Similar problems to @Combolc with his Curt Brake Harness. Brake Controller Install A few lessons learned on this one, that...

Brake Controller Install A few lessons learned on this one, that should also apply to other brake controllers, especially with Tekonsha cabled connectors. I had tried several brake controllers on my last several vehicles. On my 2014 EcoDiesel Grand Cherokee, I bought a Tuson Direclink brake...

CMM Mirrors are on back order (20-30 days about 20 days ago...). So are my Smittybilt tube doors, but can't drive here in CA without the mirrors at least...

I have it on mine (Granite Crystal Metallic LE built 1st week of Sept).

Bought it up there and took a 3 day road trip back. He can also ship it down. There's only a handful of discount dealers in the country, and Kent was the closest.

I've still only seen one Sport S parked at a hiking trailhead in the wild. Lots of folks walking up to me saying they haven't seen one before when they see mine. I like your tonneau cover lock. Does it interfere with rolling up the cover? Would it be easier to thread the eyelet to the side of...

Smittybilt X20 12k, Maximus 3 plate, and Warn mid height guard. See my build page for front camera photo installed.

Stretched my legs today. 8 days topless (basically since I got it home). Winch & brush guard went on this week.

Stretched my legs today.

Well, topless for 8 days, but because it’s only been home for 8 days. Forecast looks like top can stay off for a few more weeks at least.

Winch/Brush Guard Install (& Front Receiver Test Fit) This install was a bit trickier. Started taking lots of photos to document the entire install, until things went south then was focused on getting it back together so I could drive it the next day. Got most of the mechanical...

Remove the Top, Lower the Windshield and Install the SpiderWebShade Pulled the top off a couple days after I got back. Cruised around with it off a bit and not too bad of a ride. I bought a SpiderWebShade. Installing that requires dropping the windshield, so I figured I'd try doing that too...

Modifications Round 1 (Stubby Antenna, All Weather Mats, MOLLE Bags) First day back from my trip home, I did a couple of the quick, simple mods. Nothing too exciting, but got them out of the way. All Weather Floor Mats Simple install. Front carpet has a couple of cutouts in the carpet when you...

Unfortunately, I don't win the longest order to delivery time award. I was 3 days shy of 6 months. There are still a couple of folks on the forum with Granite Crystal Metallic LEs ordered on April 4 that STILL have not been delivered. So they are 6 months, 1 week right now. Think the last of...

We have an exit strategy, but until our youngest is out of high school in another 2.5 years, it will be tough to move and uproot them. We do have a second home on the Oregon coast we are using as a short term rental for now and may end up there (originally planned to register the JT there). I...

Finally! Congrats in joining the club!

California Registration when Purchasing Out Of State (Lessons Learned) When I first ordered the LE, I told Kent I’d register it at our 2nd home/short term rental we have in Oregon. Since OR has no sales tax (but a 0.5% new vehicle “privilege” tax) and cheaper DMV fees, I figured I’d save even...

Mopar Cross Bars with Kayaks and Bikes One of my biggest concerns with the JT is mounting kayaks. With my old Grand Cherokee, I had to climb on the seats, tires, or use a door jam step. With the original JT marketing photo, it looked like we might be able to mount short kayaks in the bed of the...

@BuiltRight Bedside Rack Install The side rack panels arrived several weeks ago (while still waiting for my JT to arrive). I also have some clamps & rotopax attachements to add once I figure out how I want to arrange things. When I came back from my road trip picking up my Gladiator, there was...
