I moved on from my JT a year and half ago. Didn’t want to but had to go to a F250 for my camper. However, I recently got back into the Jeep world with a 2020 JL and I knew I wanted a set of grab handles from @darksidedesign just like I had on my JT. So, I ordered front and headrest grab handles and he color matched them for me, just like he had for my JT. Looks great. Thanks Preston!

OEM mirror with adaptive cruise is 9.5 inches wide and just barely misses the visor when it is pulled down. It sits 4 inches below the visor panel measuring from behind the mirror - this with my OEM mirror ‘flipped’ with widest part at the bottom.
does the camera mirror attach to the OEM mirror arm?
It does. It’s 10” wide. They have an accessory kit that allows it contingency right to the factory ball mount on the factory arm.

Great reminder! Thank you!

I just sprayed Fluid Film inside the frame rails, front to back. I still have some body cavities and other nooks and crannies to hit, but it's mostly ready for road salt.

I'll be putting the shovel, traction boards, and probably some sand or cat litter in the back this weekend.

I've got a cool little shovel already in there that is not great for snow, but it's cool nonetheless....It is a Russian Spetsnaz shovel. I'll throw a pic in when I get a chance. It not only can shovel stuff, but makes a nice tool for self-defense, too, with its sharpened edges. I think I got it for 8 bucks or something like that, a few years ago....before inflation kicked in. I'd guess they are 15 to 20 bucks nowadays.

I looked for Fluid Film at Walmart yesterday, but evidently they don't stock it in my store. I guess I will have to go to Harbor Freight.

Amazon. And they have it In black, too, which is nice.

Looking good. Lifted? Also looks like you have RB mud flaps. How do you like them and what size are they? I'm debating on getting something to keep the yuck off mine while protecting the paint. Going back and forth between RB and Weathertech. Just not a huge fan of the new cutout of the Weathertech front flaps.

Sign up for RB email. Black Friday sale in 3 days.
I have Original for 11.5 tires. Go XL for wide tires
Thanks. Yea I got an email about the sale. If I go RB I would get original but not sure if I want long or not. The short ones just look too short for my liking.

I got one size up from the smallest, might want to go one up from there. I like them, easy to remove, bendy and I've had a pair on my JL for 3 years and after a wash still look new. And I have an AEV 2 inch lift on it.
