Looks great, thanks for sharing the pics, Dan! You’ll notice the sound (and temperature) difference once you get it on the road. Big thanks to @Mightytalldude for spreading the word too. Enjoy the new setup!

[Hothead Headliners]

I ordered mine while in Tenn this weekend. It will be here Friday. I will have it on by Friday night! Now I will have both the hardtop/freedom panels with Hothead and my sunrider too!

That’s awesome! You’re going to love having both your hardtop and the Sunrider lined with our headliners — it really makes a difference year-round. Can’t wait to hear what you think once you’ve got it all installed

Thank you guys for a great product, it's truly a game changer.

Really appreciate that Glad to hear it’s been a game changer for you. We put a lot into making sure these headliners deliver, so feedback like that means a lot!

Today I relocated the LED strip tail light/blinker to the top of the bumper so I could access the spare carrier in preparation for the relocating of the spare back to the stock position.
I'll wait until I'm finished with the lift before actually putting the spare back under there.

I have a 3.5" Teraflex lift with Bilstein shocks to install along with a new Core 4x4 trackbars and control arms.

Thanks. Can’t wait to try it.

Replaced both rear brake caliper brakes, slide pins, boots, and caliper bolts. I had one pin on the driver side seized, and one I had to free up on the passenger side a couple weeks ago. So I wanted them swapped out.

I took it out for a short drive. It’s significantly quieter. Nice work hotheads.

Had some PTO to burn or lose so took the day off work and piddled with a few things on the JT.

First was replacing the POS "Rexing" dashcam I had that wants to factory reset itself ever 2-3 weeks with a VIOFO dashcam. The VIOFO has a better interface and also GPS capability I was lacking with the Rexing. Will see how this one plays out.

Second and last thing I did was replace the OEM factory stabilizer with a Monroe stabilizer. Had some steering bounce I would not call full blown death wobble but it made me check out my recent axle swap and after verifying all the torques on the front end, took off the OEM stabilizer and found about a 2"-3" dead spot. Went cheap Charlie on the Monroe stabilizer but had good luck with it on my 2022 Rubicon JT.

Dang, that thing is beautiful...............

The picture alerts me to the fact that I’ve got wrinkles to fix.

They fix themselves. I'm interested to hear if yours untucks from the front when you open the top. Mine did until it was, "broken in"

Literally one year ago I DIY’d my own light bar using eight 5" ebay cheap LED pods on my JKU, yesterday using Amazon’s even cheaper versions of these pods, I mounted five of them on the front of my bumper and it is freakin bright! I went with amber and white only because I’ve read that amber lights does a better job at cutting through dirt and dust, and it looks cool too !

Took a strip of angled aluminum and drilled holes for the pods, areas to ziptie and mounting holes, then painted it with black truck bed coating:

I attached the bracket to the lower inner bottom bolts that mounts the bumper to the frame:

...and wired the halos from the LED pods to the halos of my headlights:

...pods activated!

I am definitely loving the look of the LEDs on the front of my bumper. It also leaves room just in case I need to mount a winch, it can be hard sometimes getting over those speed bumps at the mall

Without it knowing yet, I made it jealous. I’m embarking on adventure, and a dream project since I was a kid. I bought a project. And it’s going to take years. But I’m so excited, and so thankful that my wife supports my desire to do this. Even though it’s not a gladiator, it is a JT, technically. Just a ‘61 JT. I’ll start a separate thread with updates as it changes. For now I need to get it home, and start the planning.

I also have a VIOFO front and rear dash cam. It has come in handy and I have been happy with it. I also had a Rexing V1P in my last vehicle and I didn't have any issues with mine like you did. Hopefully you will have better luck with your new one.

Very cool. Should be a fun project. Jealous.
