Mods you regret

Same with me. However I cut the extended part off and bought extra floor plugs and filled the hole in the floor mat. They are ok now

Got rid of mine and got rugged ridge instead and much happier.
- when buying mopar mats you either have to buy extra plugs or use the ones under the carpet
- the mats are relatively flat so if wet your pants legs just sit in the water
- because of the flatness and the elevated nub for attaching to the floor, it always feels like my foot is stepping on a marble

the mopar hard trifold does fold up but is unsupported when folded all the way up...it literally sites against the back glass of the hard top...and would flop right down if you started to move. So essentially you loose that entire third of the bed sire its unable to stay up all the time. If I remember right the backflip has little bars on either side that hold it verticle when opened all the way. Mopar shat the bed with their design IMO, but the soft rolling is superior to all other as far as I'm concerned. Stays tight, more water proof than the hard, and rolls completely out of the way. Also does need any track or silly velcro to be used.

On the new tri-folds they have actually added the support arms. Had to have my original one replaced due to hail damage.

Nice! Glad they un-F’ed that debacle

I bought a knock off roll up tonneau cover that is notorious for popping up and opening while going down the road. Lesson learned you get what you pay for

I got mine from factory, but I've never been satisfied with the way they sit. Kind of pushed up a bit where the carpet cut out thing is. Could just be that they are misaligned and I need to position them better.

But - where exactly did you cut? Might need to do this as well. Do you have a picture?

There were pre-cut holes in the carpet above the plugs. You remove the carpet, and remove the plugs. The extended portion then pushes down into the plug "well", which allows mositure to drain out.

I keep reading reviews of the Molar grab handles. Poor fit, hit glass, hard to install. Took me all of 10 minutes to install all 4. Perfect fit and never as yet bang on window glass. Are folks mounting these wrong? Or like you said, installing fronts on rear or vise versa?

1st upgrade was the headlights. Then the MOPAR grab handles. I never heard them hit the glass, never hit them with my head...work great.

I forgot the stubby antenna, performed ok, stock of course was better.

I took plasti dip and sprayed the stock antenna black and actually love how it looks and it has stood up to Michigan weather and heavy brush trails since 4/2019. No stubby for me...

Cheap Amazon LED headlights. Replaced with morimoto 2stroke 3.0 that heat the lenses. Works like a charm! No more icing up. Example below, headlight melted and Aux light iced up.

Rain cover... I’m sure it a fine product, but I just don’t think I need it. But my wife really thought I should have one so I added it to my Christmas wish list and she got it for me. It’s still in a bag in the garage.

I have one as well. Not as convenient as I thought it’d be. I’ve used it twice

Are these Cab covers or full truck covers?

How many times have you pulled your hard top (soft top) and/or doors off since Christmas?

I’ve ordered 4 different stubby bumpers, quadratech, Amazon, aeg, and eBay. Either it doesn’t make it to my house in Hawaii and I get a charge/refund that takes months to get back or for $300 I get an overrider or a down syndrome stinger bar. That I then have to pay to send back and deal with a charge/return situation. I have yet to receive a bumper and it’s been almost 9months and $2500 tied up in returns and shipping Charges.

Sounds like you had better weather than we did.
I admit, I don't put it on a lot but do carry it in the JL when I pull the HT/Doors, "just in case"

35” BFG KM3s
Icon Alloy Rebounds
Line-X

After many sets of KO2s, I thought I’d try mud terrains. The Falcon mud terrains that came from factory weren’t too loud and rode pretty good. But the KM3s were much louder and rode a little rough. And like many others have said, I should have went straight to 37s. The KO2 37s run small so they’re just a little taller than the 35 KM3s, aren’t loud at all, and ride great. This tire and the Mopar 2” lift is the perfect combo IMO.

As for the Icons, I really didn’t like the stance. They stuck out past the fenders and slung debris everywhere. The quality felt cheap, they scratched easily, and even began to rust after a few months.

The Line-X was mostly just a bad install. They rushed it and you can tell. I don’t love the shiny “premium” finish. Should have gone standard. Not sure if rhino would have been better. I think factory would have been best.
