Esco....have you been to Corral Canyon or Borrego?

The 3 things... get them or regret it.
#1 the AUX switches, 100% get this. If you ever add anything, they rock.
#2 The front so called trail cam seems to be a thing also ,but other than the tire tracks and the squitter thing seems like a waste. I got the aftermarket one and for $180, it gives a good view, works for me.
#3 Bed liner is great. You can get it aftermarket. but the factory job is really nice.
Done
Oh…moved my Beaver-tail from my dodge over to the JTRD…

Well your going to love Anza Borrego. A few simple trails to get you acquainted with the very basics of your Jeep.

Hi my name is Dave, it’s been 2 weeks since my last jeep mod purchase

I’m trying not to pawn my household items to feed my habit, but I keep telling myself it’s only 7k, you’ll be happy when you buy it.

the jeep freak in my head won’t ?.

My problems:
1: I have a note on my iPhone which is basically a woman’s version of Pinterest. The next tire size I want and every brand I’m considering and their price and weight. Followed by wheels in the same categories. Then followed by essentially everything im remotely considering doing. And this list grows daily.

2: the grass is greener theory. Despite my wheels and tires having 3000 miles on them I can’t stop thinking that I should change it up to something different. Same for shocks. Have stock? Get fox. Have fox? Get falcon. Have Falcon? Get adjustable. Have that? Should definitely do king. It never ends. You could drop $100k on day 1 and still consider changing it all up.

Only a few days. I already planned out pretty much what I wanted to do to it before buying it. Only thing I was undecided on was 35 or 37 and I got 37's now. I'm pretty pleased with the end result. After you build a few jeeps over the years you can pretty much know what you want to do. My first jeep I spent triple what I paid for it in mods over the years that I owned it so I get it.

I'm on my second iteration of build and getting it to the point I want. Initially I went with rubi take off suspension, rails, wheels/tires. Got my bed set up for the roof top tent and a front bumper/winch.

Now I'm on a 2" lift, CA relocation brackets, all teraflex steering (draglink, tierod, trackbar), 35s and AEV wheels, 4.56 gears, some skids, rear bumper, and working on a new tonneau/rack setup.

Will eventually install truetracs and that's most of it.

After each trip and trail I find out what works and what doesn't and have based most of my mods off of that.

Plus it's fun researching the right mod and then tinkering in the garage

old lady’s pissed, neighbors can’t figure me out, no money left over to drink with friends, kids ask about parts and accessories in the garage that aren’t for motorcycles…. I wouldn’t change a thing, even if I had to.

The CIA slant to upgrading your Jeep: Admit nothing. Deny everything. Blame others.

Also, where did you find the trail cam kit? My dealer said it’s not available unless you ordered it or it came from the factory that way. Same the the brake controller and six switches. They pulled my vin before telling me that.
@Dougstdig nearly all parts are available at BAM wholesale. Then you need 1 oem bracket from Quadratec and 4 cables from Amazon. Not sure why BAM doesn't list the bracket.

Other than pulling trims the only hell in this is firewall penetration. You do need AlfaOBD as well...don't think Jscan or Tazer can pull this off.

@Jimmy07 is the man.
Tazer can.
