2021 Sarge Green Willys mostly stock "build"

[Blue Ridge]

Went fishing on the Outer Banks last week. No luck shore fishing but we chartered a boat out to the gulf stream and I caught a 50# tuna. Good times, and good eats. And left just in time to miss the hurricane weather. Onboard air came in handy.

Picked up a Bulletpoint phone holder. IMO, it's worth the extra $ the cheap ones sell for.

Did you have an alignment done after you installed the front leveling kit?

 

[Blue Ridge]

I did. Not sure it needed it, but felt it's better safe than sorry.

Installed a dash cam. Hopefully I never need it, but after watching dash cam footage of terrible drivers felt it was probably worth the hundred bucks. Easy install.

Minor update but got visor clips to lessen the chance I break them.

Currently shopping for a Mopar steel front bumper. Would love the Mopar rear as well, but having backup sensors, that's looking impossible.

*edited to fix typo

What clips did you get? Is that a new issue?

 

[Blue Ridge]

I had certainly seen photos of people who had broken theirs, and figured it wasn't too unlikely. At this point, I no longer remember where I got them. *Maybe* Amazon?

Great build thread by the way!

Not much of an update as far as the “build” but I got the doors and roof off this weekend. Lots of fun.

I highly recommend doing it at least once if you have a Gladiator or Wrangler. The ride is a fun experience. Just secure everything if you plan on driving over 20 mph.

Picked up an off brand sun shade when I first got the Jeep. I decided to put it on today. The instructions were horrible but luckily they ripped off Alien Sunshade so exactly that I was able to watch their Youtube instructions and got it right away. I didn’t know at the time I was even buying a knockoff. Just saw it on Amazon. Quality seems fine but I’d buy Alien if I could do it over out of principle.

Shadeidea?

 

[Blue Ridge]

Yep.

Shadeidea fits better. Alien has gaps. Had Alien on my JL. Have Shadeidea on my JT. I can't believe how cheap Shadeidea is now. I paid like $150 2 years ago. My orange 2 piece is now $59.99.

I bought this one over 2 years ago and no longer recall what I paid but wow they seem cheap now.
