Looks like a lot of texture. Does it have UV inhibitors?

Side not I added some WD 40 in my rail holes in the old F150 to help keep them from gunking . Maybe it helped don’t know

What did the Bullet run you if you don't mind me asking? We've got a place here in town that does it, but prices seem to be all over.

Not sure about the UV inhibitors. Mine will have a Tonneau on it. It definitely has texture to it.

$399 plus tax. That seems to be the standard price around here, I called a few to check.

What percent tint did you go with to match the rear?
I was talking with Greg at SunStoppers in Rock Hill this morning so I asked. He said he used 20%.

Might get me in trouble with The Man around here unfortunately. Does look good, though!

I installed a Warn Low Grill Guard yesterday. Still debating whether I am keeping it - not sure if I am sold on the look, plus I want to mount lights to the bumper.

For those looking to do the same thing, the gap between the bumper and bottom of the bar is 6.5-inches.

That will most likely block all off the trail cam view of the bumper. I’ll hold off making a decision until I have the lights.

I'm interested if you decide you do not want it.

Samson got @ACE Engineering rock sliders installed today. I really like the look and my wife really likes having a step to get into the JT!

The Ace Engineering Rock Sliders stick out about 4-inches and make a perfect step up into the JT!

It really helps having a shade tree mechanic for a friend ( @DMC1 ) that lets you use their heated shop, tools and lends a major hand in the installation:

Even shared the secret tool for removing the body mount bolts with red Loctite:

Had the MORE dead pedal installed:

Bonus: upgraded the front speakers - these Cerwin Vega Speakers sounds so much better than the factory!

Traveled to VA to visit family for Christmas.

Had a great time hanging out with my teenage nephew on Thursday who helped with mounting my Jeep JT Wrangler Rubicon OE Bumper Winch Carrier:

and Warn VR EVO 12-S Winch:

Great to see young men with a wrench in their hands - just wish they didn't grow so much taller than me... haha!

On Friday, we installed my Tazer Mini and calibrated my speedometer. Turns out if you have your phone plugged in and are using Waze via CarPlay, Waze picks up your speed from the JT speedometer (not via GPS). Could not figure out why everyone was driving so slow... as soon as I unplugged the phone and saw my GPS speed on Waze, I realized the error of my “Waze”.

All good now. Plus implemented a few other options from the Tazer and installed my fire extinguisher.

Also while traveling for the holidays, I had the opportunity to picked up a piece of plywood for my brother-in-law and helped him work on building a barn/shed. (@steffen707 clarified it was OSB - still same size.. hahahaha!)
