New guy checking in with my new to me 2021 JTRD with the Mopar lift, Mopar step rails, Black Rhino wheels and 35" Nitto Ridge Grapplers.

What's the secret for keeping the black paint clean?
Welcome to the Black Gladiator obsession OlllllllO!!!!!
I had mine professionally paint corrected and ceramic coated. It helped for a long time but it does require maintenance and I let it slide this summer after wheeling and traveling 5,600 across the US. I need to go back and get it cleaned up again

That looks great! What is the maintenance like? Spray wash and quick detail while drying? I have a good friend that does detail work and he suggested paint correction and ceramic coatings. I plan to get it done in a few months but for now, I'd rather spend that money on hard parts since this new to me JT has a wheel and tire package that I don't really care for.

Yeah - Maintenance is getting it clean, spray detailer and dry in the shade. Mine lives outside and I have a habit of off-roading and leaving the mud, coal dust (Pennsylvania )etc on it for too long or I clean it and take it off road the next day. The ceramic coat definitely made it easier the keep clean for normal stuff but I tend to abuse my stuff. Good luck!

New to me, only mod so far is the rock rails as the previous owner pulled off the stock and didn’t replace. So far so good at ~32k with about 1k being mine

I don’t believe the Overland comes with OEM rock rails.
