It’s taken 3 days, but I have installed new Nitto 35’s Ridge Grapplers, Mopar wheels, Warn Zeon 10s, Warn Elite full width bumper, FALCON Shocks, Teraflex leveling kit but only used the 1 inch spacer, and hothead liners. This coming week I’ll tint the front windows and will be adding AMP Research power-steps XL.
These pictures do not do this Jeep justice. I met Brian over the weekend and his JT is top shelf. He has done an excellent job of making it his! Everything on it is perfect! I have my eye on the bumper set up too.

Nice upgrades. Where did you get the bumper from?

I picked the wrong sized board for thy at divider. Should have done 2x8 and I did 2x6. I think the board needs to ride on the top of the undulations and so my cutouts, while looking cool, are a quarter inch too low I think. But between the LineX and some neoprene I hope to add to the top it should be level. So one mistake turned into 2 more hours of work. The teeth are just made with 1-by and cut by eye. Nothing fancy, two screws and glue hold them to the main board, countersunk.
Neoprene on the top to protect whatever you slide on it?

I wonder if this would look good with gator or if it only works on a black or white truck.

Added some red LineX to go with my Rubicon trim bits.

I'm going to match the interior with my bed liner. Saddle liner on a sting grey.

Exactly.

For those asking about the colors, the LineX guy said he gets the color from an actual auto paint place. He just buys the pigments used to mix the paint, but instead mixes it with LineX. I had to provide him with the torch red paint code for reference. But you could give any paint code (some pigments cost more than others). So I guess the base chemicals aren’t black. You do have step up to the middle tier of the LineX product, and all in was just over $900 with lifetime warranty. Well worth it for that pop! Also apparently a better product than factory. Given the surface texture the luminance will be different, so exact paint matches (to your eye) aren’t really possible.

What does LineX look like with no pigment added? Like a clear coat? Anyone have pictures?

There is a tintable raptor liner too for the DIY crowd.

It may just be the top UV layer that gets the pigment. I think it’s a two layer process with the mid tier LineX. Not sure they would just apply the top coat only. Allegedly this top coat fills in the smaller crevices which makes cleaning your bed 100x easier. So also that. But I don’t actually know what the base colors are, maybe someone else can chime in.

I like those covers but I still think my two German Shedders will have my cloth interior covered in hair after the first 20ft. That link for the rear seat cover shows a hammock style. Is that the one you bought? I couldn't tell from the picture.
Yes. Yes they will. I use a U-shaped seat cover in the back to catch everything and you'd think I groomed my long hair GSD in the car. smh

Replaced antenna with 13 inch stubby a few days back, just now got around to posting . Today, I added the rugged ridge door sill guards. I didn't love that the mopars didn't provide complete coverage, and they were more expensive than these. Overall, I'm happy!

EDIT: Excuse the dirty carpets, they'll be getting g cleaned later lol
