I like these a lot. Do they stay put or do the carabiners end up at the bottom of the grab bar?

I only instaledthem yesterday and I hung a heavy grocery bag on each this morning. They didn’t move but if the carabiner moves toward the bottom that’s where I want them anyway!

the hooks on the back of the front seats that are part of the molle webbing of the rubies work really good to hang bag off of them.

There are no hooks on the back of my seats. Yeah, it’s a Rubicon and has the mole panels. Am I missing something?

Great idea! Thanks!

You’re welcome. I hope the idea helps out a few guys.

Added the Mopar Air Intake and filter. Love the OEM quality /fit and the air box design is my favourite part of the whole system. Box outlet/hose inlet is substantially larger,(3.75”IDvs 3”ID) on par with my wifes 3.6 Journey roughly 3.5”ID(Funny eh?). Waiting for my cone style AFE dry filter from amazon. My options were limited as I run the AEV snorkel. Mishimoto doesnt actually seal fully (top box has an opening) and Holly Intech was almost the same price as the mopar. Any potential warranty concerns are mitigated. Sounds good with the snorkel, slightly more growl but not crazy loud like other open style intakes.

It was

was the paint corrected,cause im considering on doing that to my truck......without paint correction though cause i was quoted close to 5k
not sure if i really wanna do that since i do go wheeling

He washed it, I believe he used something that removes iron, clay bared it, and then polished it before doing the ceramic. There is another step but he felt since it was new it wasn’t really necessary. Did the glass and wheels as well. I spent $800. It looks absolutely fantastic.

I would love to know the name of the shop ... would love to have that done for $800. I'm in PA so not too far.

He’s actually a buddy of mine who I worked with at the police department that does it out of his garage. I’m not sure if I got the family discount or not.

Do it yourself. It’s crazy easy. Easier to apply and remove than wax. I ceramic coat everything. Trim, plastic, rubber, glass and paint.

nd Holly Intech was almost the same price as the mopar.

I bought then holley and sent back, did nothing but make more noise and robbed some of my lower take off power.

Factory for the win for me.

That looks great. Nice job. I’m in the process of doing something similar. Also inspired by the 4xe. Here is the interior photo. I’ll post some exterior shots when I think she’s ready.
Also have these wheels on order.

How do you like the B&M shifters? I've been wondering/lusting after those...

I like the shift handles a lot. They are totally cosmetic and don’t improve shifting, but I knew that when I bought them. I first used them on my Cherokee and I think it gives the interior a more “aggressive” look (for lack of a better description). If that’s your thing? Currently I have the blue covers on, but I have a few different colors that I bought and one set that I made from wood. That set looks very cool IMO.
Word of advice if you buy a set. They have two set screws. One is the alignment screw and one is the holding screw. If either isn’t tight enough, the shifter will loosen up and start to rotate. If you over tighten the alignment screw, you will unknowingly crush the top of the shift rod. It won’t come out of park. Been there done that! How I fixed it is a long story. Basically you will need a drill and small bit, needle nose pliers and a magnet to collect the metal shavings as you drill. You don’t want the shavings falling into the shifter mechanism. Yes, it was a lot of fun fixing that screw up.

I got a rock chip and 4 spider cracks at 100 miles. Fing dump truck!

Dash cams pay for themselves sometimes... I use Thinkware in all my vehicles. They paid for themselves with just the laughs it brought me from idiots being them selves.
