Installed my wheels and had the front side windows tinted to match the back.

What’s your thoughts on the front windows for inspection? It looks great but in NY I’ll have to rip off the tint every year to get it inspected

We don’t have inspections in SC. The tint shop states it is legal as long as it matches the legal tint on the back. It looks darker in the pic than what it actually is. It is the heat resistant tint to help cut down on interior heat. I asked it they could lay tint over the back half and they said yes. I may do it later.

I just need to find some in channel visor vents so I can leave the windows cracked.

My guy said they have clear ceramic tint you can apply to just cut down on heat. Can do to windshield or rear windows.

Ready for the weekend!
All 4 doors removed for the first time and installed new JPeggz door-off mirrors with foot rest.

https://www.jpeggz.com/

Mainly ordered these mirrors for 3 reasons:
1) They fit both my JT & JK.
2) Other reviewers say they don’t move in the wind.
3) Made in the USA!

Next: Need some door hangers for the wall!

Let me know how you applied the fluid film (Cans? sprayer?) and how it went. Nice JT!

Got a little more done on the Gladiator this weekend. Installed a Poison Spyder Bruiser bumper with skid, Rigid lights, and a Warn VR 10S EVO. I wired all the factory AUX switch wiring into a Badgeglow wiring block, just to make future wiring a little easier. Anywho, obligatory pics.

Few more vinyl touches and some awesome grab handles :). Next Up is removing the rubicon vinyl and are placing it with my own cut out. I named my Gladiator “Punisher”. Why because the punisher is bad ass

Where did you get the door sills with the red lettering, I could only find all black, and looks great

I did the red myself. I cut the Red Vinyl out with my Machine then I applied 3 coats of TopCoat Clear only on the middle rectangular area. Let it dry for a few hours and installed.

Reason for the clear coat was since this will get stepped on or scuffed, I didn't want the vinyl to easily peel up or off so hopefully the solid layer of Clear will help make it last longer plus it gave it a shiny look which just pops :D

Where did you have the tint done? I am in Rock Hill. Will be looking to do the same with my Gator, if Jeep ever releases the color...
