Ditched my 06' Commander 3 weeks ago and bought a 21' Sarge Green Rubicon. Already put on 1,500 miles with no complaints so far. This is my daily driver so my build will be fairly mild. I figured this will be a great way to keep track of my add-ons and help anyone with questions. Here's what I've done so far -

ADDED BUT NOT SHOWN BELOW
- Interior Grab handles
- Door Sill Guards
- 7" Stubby Antenna
- A-Pillar Light Mounts
- Dash Tray w/ Phone mount


11/19/21 - Removed the front bumper and installed an OEDRO bumper. The quality isn't the best but it will suffice for now. I was surprised how easy it was to install, took less than an hour.

11/21/21 - Added the Gator ETX Soft Tri-Fold Tonneau Cover.

12/3/21 - Installed the TeraFlex 1.5" leveling kit and a 13k # Winch. It took 2.5 hours with no issues after install. It sits perfectly level with the 1.5" kit, but I'll add the .75" rear spacers next month because I plan on have weight in the bed and don't want the rear sagging. Unfortunately, I forgot to take before pictures.

Finally ordered new tires. I went with 35" Mastercraft Courser MXT for $950, getting them installed on Monday. I ended up buying the Auxbeam 8 Gang Switch Panel for the LEDs. All the lights were wired to where I plan on installing it so it should be fairly easy. The UnderCover Swingcase delivered a few weeks ago and I'm not a fan, the fitment is terrible.

12/24/21
- Added a pair of 3in amber LED light pods.

1/6/22
- I bought the Kiwi Master LED headlights off Amazon for $200. The difference from factory halogens is night and day. Install took 25 minutes.

- Added a 20in Light bar and new d-rings to the front bumper.

- Swapped out the factory taillights. 2 screws per assembly, only took 10 minutes.

I ended up throwing on 1.5" wheel spacers this morning. Pretty happy with how it looks!

Another sarge green owner here. How is the tonneau working out? I bought the Tyger tonneau off Amazonk and its alright for the barely $200 I spent on it. No locking and its definitely lacking in heft. Not sure if I want to go with a better tonneau eventually or upgrade to a rack or shell.

For the price, I can't really complain. With how much it rains in Oregon, I needed something to keep the bed dry and it's been great at that. It has the poorly designed locking clamps, but if someone wanted to get through the Tonneau cover, it wouldn't be hard.
