Dreadnought: The Buildening - 2024 JT/M

[ArcticDreadnought]

2024 JT/M, in Anvil, bought Jan 25 in Anchorage.
Nearly $19K off MSRP due to a year on the lot and rebates.
Seems no one wanted to buy the manual, 'cept me. Oh well, win for me.
Before I even left the lot, some old coot that was there said that it looked like it was made of of battleship steel. (Name Bestowed Immediately)

Full Cold Weather package, cause Alaska. (Heated Seats are a lifesaver for your butt)
Bulletpoint Phone/Radio/Tablet mounts.
Rugged Ridge Headlight Guards, cause Alaska.
Spray in Bedliner done by AutoArmor of Alaska.
Set of Black/Grey seat covers, cause Alaska.
LB Designworks Mojave Hood Decal, to legally help cut down on glare, also looks nice.
One stupid offset single orange grill insert, because it annoys my friends with OCD. (Why only one?!)
Set of Black/Orange XL/Long RokBlokz mudflaps, cause Alaska. (We use gravel, not salt on the roads)
LB Designworks Custom Hood Name Decals
4, 3in Auxbeam Amber Cube lights (they're cheap, and do what I need them to do).
Artec Mojave Hood dual cowl light brackets.
Simple, cheapo Tyger T1 Tonneau Cover
OEM Steel Rubicon Bumper (stubbied) - Snagged for $150 off Facebook (for the win!)
Utah Design Foundry JT Bumper Closeout Panels
Front Mojave X springs (to counteract the bumper weight)
MetalCloak Front Lower Coil Isolators
Mopar Trail Rail System (for upcoming bed racks and such)
OEM Mopar Block Heater (Cause Alaska)
Full Armorlite Liner install, front and rear (that I did myself and OMG I was tired.)
One Tiny Batman hoodie (with ears) that goes on my 4x4 shifter. (I promise to put a pic in)
One green Duck of Dubious Judgement because I parked in the REI parking lot. I accept these burdens.
One set of LB Designworks custom scrambler stripes.

This brings us to now, April 2026.

Have put on a set of Nacho JL/JT SAE Amber Fog Lights for the 3 piece steel bumper, a Warn VR EVO 10s winch with a Mopar Winch Plate Kit.
I'll put those pics here when I can.

Also have an iKamper Raconteur Mid-Height Bed Rack to put on.

More coming in the future.
Thank you for your interest.

I like the decals! If my Mojave wasn't already orange, I would put in one of those grill inserts, too. I'm really tempted to get some of those mudflaps but I'm afraid I'd rip them off when offroading.

 

[ArcticDreadnought]

Rokblokz: They're completely removeable via a couple of thumbscrews that can be untightened with the help of a hex wrench. Going off road? Pop them off and put them in the bed. Going back to the road? Put them back on.

And the decals are hard to really see unless you're standing next to them. The inside of the black striping has custom topo markings for places around Alaska inside them in a semi-gloss black.

Shiny...

I love the decals and especially like the single orange slot in the grille!
Great JOB!!!

The amazing people at LBDesignworks (www.lbdesignworks.com) are the ones responsible for those decals, especially my Scrambler stripes. They worked with me at every step along the way with detailed visuals and ensured I got exactly what I wanted for a VERY reasonable price.
Your reasonability mileage may vary.

Plus, the folks here in Anchorage who applied them for me, Skyline Signs are to be commended for their quick work. Mostly because I would absolutely bung that sort of detail work up, and they cranked it out in about 2 hours.

You can get a full set of those slot inserts on Amazon for something like 17 bucks in any color you wish. With what I've seen of yours, a nice Royal Blue (NOT 4xe blue) would stand out wonderfully.

Lastly, let us not forget the 2 most important details:

Tiny Batman Gearshift Hoodie and The Neon Green Duck of Dubious Judgement. Both items, while of the highest Heresy, allow for Dreadnought to navigate the horrors of the Warp safely.

Looking good for sure! Keep waiting to spot you around town. LOL

in the meantime though, I am eager to see that gearshift hoodie and neon green duck!

Sadly, I'm back in Anchorage on the 20th. Very likely, the next day I'm going to have to put in the shop at Anchorage CDJR to have the front axle replaced (drivers side front blew all of its grease). Luckily, it's all warranty work, so I should be back on the road by at least the 22nd.

See you around town.

Here you go, for the cheapy inserts from Amazon. Think they would look well on your front end.

The Duck in Question.

Yikes! Glad it wasn’t worse . . . . although it sounds pretty bad. At least it’s under warranty.

 

[Cattywumpuss]

The Duck in question.

Hmmm, looks vaguely familiar. *side eyes bag in the corner*

 

[ArcticDreadnought]

Nice try, but it has a yellow bill. Also, it was given by a known party and has been scanned for Chaotic Influence.

 

[ArcticDreadnought]

OMG. I am actually sore from the 16+ hour day I put in. BUT...
Mopar Winch Plate and Warn VR Evo 10s: installed.
iKamper Raconteur Mid-Height Bed Rack: installed.

So far, so good.

Now, we take her in today to get the front axle replaced (warranty!), and then on Monday, I'll get her front springs upgraded to Mojave X.

Currently this is what it looks like on decently level ground. I can barely notice any rake, but I'll post more pics before and after.

More to come.

 

[Neomonk21]

Looks great and nice work! I was surprised how sore I was the day after installing my winch and bumper. Getting old sucks but it sure beats the alternative!

TINY BATMAN HOODIE!

Also, everything went fine at the dealership, and Dreadnought is now out of surgery. Axle is brand new and rolling along fine. At least until I break it.
