I just got it back yesterday after a solid week at the dealer getting the bad body bolt nut welds fixed. Over the next few days I'll be adding a Rancho front diff skid plate, Rancho rear shock/control arm skids, and a couple of other small armor items. I'm still shopping for an exhaust skid plate for the center muffler which hangs low.
You should have gotten the Rock Hard control arm and shock mount skids, at half the cost and well designed. I had the rancho ones on my 16 JKUHR but the hard Rock are just as strong and half the cost. I did put the rancho front and rear diff skids on my truck. Some will say getting good aftermarket diff covers is the way to go but I disagree and think the diff sliders are a better option in protection.

Topic says it all. What’s next? A mod? A trip? Rooftop tent? Giving the keys to a family member? Going to the shop? Thought it’d be cool to hear the aspirations and plans from fellow jeepers.
I've just had mine a little over a month. Not doing any mods, just accessorizing. So far a fire extinguisher, dual tonneau/soft-topper, hood lock, and now working on some lights. Next is headliner, then Sunrider.

Depeding on timing... I have the Steersmarts Tie Rod & Drag link as well as steering stabilizer relocation stuff being delivered today, But thinking of holding off until after I have the TSB completed. Once I am scheduled though if its going to be a bit of a wait for it I will just install the SS stuff..

That looks quite similar. Looks like I got a very similar build. Only difference I can spot is you have the upgraded rims. Also, looks like you also may have bought yours from Koons in Vienna, VA.
Yeah, ordered it at Koons. Was one of the first deliveries post shut down.

For me, going from mopar 2 inch lift to clayton 3.5 inch overland plus with new fox shocks. From there its a toss up between a baja rack or a front driveshaft. Prob the driveshaft. Lift is going in on 9-22.

A winch is next on my list.. I can’t decide between Warn VR 10-S or the Zeon 10-S. Anyone have any experience with either one?
