Rokblokz on the front. I have them for the back, but didn't have time to install, and it was too cold. They stick back more than expected, but worth it because 98 percent of my tire is covered.

What size Rokblokz are those? XL Original
I have the same Rough country side steps on order.
Cheers, looks good!

I just installed an X4 and te roll top is a tight fit between the right and left tracks - like not even 1/16" between the aluminum track and the plastic segments that lay down in the tracks. It seems like too tight a fit to be able to install the tonneau adapters under a rack. Can you describe the fit and any problems that you encountered? I'd love to do the same to mine-if I can make it fit.

I installed Revolver x4, a few days ago. Fit was good, roughly 1/8" each side and rolls freely but the release lock sticks a bit. Takes a little more force than I would like, going to lay in bed with headlamp and look at alignment.
We had a months rain in 24 hrs (over 2") and the bed stayed dry, good test right out of the gate.

I also have the M.O.R.E Hide-a-Steps and found if you use your heel on the step it's easier to get in then using the ball (front part) of you foot. I'm 6'2 so my height may make a difference as well.
Cheers!
I keep trying the heal thing but it's hard to get the step down for me. Overall there's not much protruding out so I have to to a double step. First step to get it started then push my foot in to get better footing. Most times I forget it's even there..haha

I took it to my dealer with the TSB and bulletin about the trailer brake controller in hand. They knew me from last time, asked if I had any information for them, and I handed them the papers. The tech and service writer looked it all over and said "we'll take care of it - do you want to wait?"
Yes,
And they did take care of it. Warranty, of course, no charge. I signed a paper saying they had done the work (so they could recover the rate listed) and they handed me the fob.
No more goofy dash display, no more disabled featured. Press the button and it works like it should.

I told them I had a box of part for the passive entry and was going to install everything when it either warmed up or I cleared a bay in my shop. I asked them if they would be willing to contact Jeep and have the passive entry sales code added to my VIN and then flash my truck so it would be in there as if factory. Yup, bring it back when you get the stuff installed, we should be able to add the sales code.

Any trailer brake controller issues - take your JT to Dewey in Ankeny, Iowa and tell them I sent you.
Glad to here you had a good experience. Hear too often about the trouble Jeep dealers give us. I had the TSB replaced too and the service manager drove my Glad home that night. Next morning it was fixed. Had a rental, minivan Lol, for the time I didn’t have the Glad. Atlantic Jeep in St Augustine did me right.

Also I uninstalled my sprint throttle booster.
Got it from another forum member and decided the ability it gives me to drive like an idiot is not worth the ticket price. Sooooo now its for sale!

Installed the KBVoodoo/ Max Modular Bed rack w/ factory tonneau brackets.

Essentially makes my bed w/ tonneau cover a "trunk." I've traveled the states previously in a different truck with this setup. My tent goes on the rack, and the bed becomes secure storage for long distance.

Appearance-wise (and I THINK function-wise, based on hole placement for attachments), I like this bed rack better than the one I have from JCR Offroad.

Installed my Oracle Oculus Bi-LED headlights. Pretty much plug and play only problem the connector for the halos was form the wrong fuse, contacted customer support and he offered to ship me the correct on but mentioned I could get the correct part for $5.00 at a auto parts. Much brighter than my stock headlights.

Passive entry installed.
Just in time, too. It was 50 when I started at 9:10 this am, it hit the upper 20s by the time I was done.
It's all setup and works fine.
There was one part that broke - not sure where to get a replacement, will probably cost an arm and leg to get it replaced.
That little black vinyl sticky dot they put over the door handle screw access hole - the vinyl came off fine but the adhesive layer stayed on the door. Bummer.
