Loaded up for the weekend trek. Somehow all this stuff - tools, shovel, high lift, compressor, straps, snatch blocks, jump starter, etc fit in my JKU before but it was a lot tighter. Guess I need more stuff!

Very well prepared. I see you even got toilet paper for the Oh S#!t moments!

You can leave the mesh top installed when you put the top back on, right?
Yep! I just put my hard tops back on for the first time since I put the JTopsUSA sunshade on, and had no issues at all. It takes maybe 10 seconds longer to put the freedom panels back on than without the sunshade only because you have to push through the mesh to get a couple latches in place, but it’s a matter of seconds, not minutes.

Sweet set up.

Is that the A.R.E. shell and the stock black textured top? Did you get both of them lined or something? The paint looks identical.

Installed one of two, JCr Offroad Rear Ihterior Molle panels. Installation is easy in theory, a little bit of tool yoga in practice. Re-installing the Hard top bolt that secures the bottom of the panel is tight. Using an extension, especially one on the end of a cordless driver is recommended. Once the rain stops, I'll get the other side done.

They're nicely made, solid pieces of metal with black Powder coat. Planning on securing an extinguisher and maybe First Aid kit.

Installed the @Redline Tuning hood supports, quality and directions are top notch. After installation the gap between the hood and fender is increased and the hood is now higher than the cowl pieces. My OCD is struggling with the gap and height difference now, will see which wins and if they stay installed.

Would the aftermarket adjustable hood latches solve your OCD? I think there are latches that can be tightened down to lower the hood, eliminating the hood shake some Jeeps have at higher speeds.

Thank you for the suggestion. The increased gap is at the rear of the hood and the hood sits higher than the cowl now, adjustable hood latches would not solve this issue. I have never had hood flutter on my JL nor my JT.

It's been raining a lot down here, so Just Entering Every Puddle! (More like blasting through flooded streets at the speed limit...)
