For me the bigger issue is the red stitching. That was the reason I went saddle leather on my Punk’n. Made sure I got the gray dash and white stitching.
Not really.... but the bank has a bunch that they may let me borrow! I have a feeling when all the chips are on the table I won’t be able to justify it to myself. But I still want it!
If they don’t it will be bittersweet to me. On one hand I love my Punk’n, but Gecko has always been my favorite Jeep color. So if they don’t make Gecko available on the JT I guess I will save a lot of hassle and cash!
I am both happy and sad that Gecko is not available.
Gecko is my all time favorite Jeep color... but I was struggling with the idea of trading in my Punk’n 3.6 for a diesel Gecko.

I was between LOD, Roam, and RSE.
RSE was too pricy and I didn’t really want electronics in my steps.
Roam’s steps are...
To make it easier for the kids to get in I plan on ordering the add on drop steps. They also have the ability to adjust the position all along the slider so they should solve my step placement concerns. They do look a little over-priced in my opinion which is why I didn’t order them up front.
The frame “body alignment” tab on the passenger side needs to be cut off. This was well detailed in the directions and the only “cutting” that was needed. I hit it with 3 coats of flat black paint afterward which did slow down the install waiting for it to dry.
The back step is pretty small to...
Installation feedback:
Overall the installation went smoothly.
Everything was well packaged and the “foam in place” packaging kept the brackets secure. I did have a slight bend to the tail end of the top aluminum skin on the rear of one slider, but it was easily straightened with a vise grip...
