Did you just buy new bolts at the hardware store or did you find matching bolts?

So you are saying I can justify ordering them from Quadratec if I order my diff skids also. Free shipping on the bolts would make it worth it, right? I wonder if I can convince my wife of that.

Absolutely; I consider it fully justified lol

Wasn't a fan of the Rugged Ridge Fairlead and hook so replaced those with Maximus-3 Fairlead and Harbor Freight hook

Tossed in 4 of the Dodge Dart speakers (2 in front and 2 in sound bar); definitely a little clearer

Been a bit since I update this thread, time to add a few more of my recent updates

Swapped out the mopar tri-fold tonneau for the soft roll up as I wanted a bed rack for bike carrying and installed the KB VooDoo rack which is great!

Wanted to add a distinct look to so went for the @pixeldecals hood and side vent decals. HIGHLY recommend them!

For anyone that tows alot, also highly recommend @Thorn-Engineering adapters!

Had an OwlCam before they went out of business and reactivated with the new company but it was just too expensive per year to justify. I wanted a front/rear cloud connected dashcam for times when I'm doorless or topless so just installed the Thinkware U1000 with rear camera and their ODB adapter. ODB made it super easy to install and it gives you basically an extra odb so it looks factory. The pic below is after the install, so it looks like it's not there. Ran the wire up the drivers a pillar and cross top and down near rearview. Also bought a shorter micro usb to micro usb cord from amazon for the rear camera.

Installed GoRhino dual light pod mounts with 4 cube's (from Harbor Freight, super cheap and look nice!)

Installed Rusty's Winch Plate and Rugged Ridge Trekker S12.5 over the weekend. Used this same plate on my JLU. This one was a little easier to get between the supports and installed easy. After taking out the temporary bolts it shifted a tad and had to drill out one of the holes but then the bumper went on easy. Was SUPER hard to get the inner, passenger side lower bolt fully torqued but eventually got it.

How much room is there between the tow hook studs and the winch motor? I am going to be installing this same setup.

How much hood glare do you get with the cowling lights?

Plenty of room, was a straight forward install
