Alright! I finally got a minute today to get some pics, between getting my ass kicked at work, babies, snow, ect. Here they are. Also, working with Kent at Peterson’s Jeep in Nampa ID was a real pleasure, the whole process was super easy, accommodating, and streamlined. Would recommend this to anyone out there even if you are coming from distance. Thank you Eddie for the connection and I hope this helps the next person.

a few notes on the Jeep, so far I absolutely love it, I’ve never been crazy about black and red together so I may look into changing the decals/accent colors to silver, but we’ll see. Haven’t drove it much yet but will definitely be starting on a few projects with left over stuff from my Gladiator and a few additions. My plan is to not do to much underneath until i have it the rest of the way payed off, but we’ll see how that goes as well. one of the main motivations is to get a lot of this stuff out of my garage and where it belongs.

list of stuff to add shortly

AAC Bar, PCI Radio
Switch pros
EVO Alumalite F&R Bumpers
EVO HD tire carrier (May wait)
Warn Evo 10-s
ARB air comp and ACM
Various AUX lights
Few random things

also built a little temporary cart for the half doors until I get the walls reorganized in the garage.

Looks great, but did it not come with a red dash?

I thought all of the Rubicons except a few of the really odd colored ones came with red dash panels.

So if you get the brown interior you get the gray dash, one of the reasons I went with brown, aside from my wife really wanting it lol

Awesome!! I really like the tan leather seats and with the silver dash. Looks great! Also, I could totally see how silver decals would look real nice.

Thank you, I might try a few things out before fully committing to the decals, at least to see how I feel about it.

I would say, if you do change the decals, a dark silver, kind of like the dash would look sharp.

Now that I’m envisioning that, I’d have to agree

Looks good. I see you took the tire carrier out of the box. If I would have installed it on my JL the day that I was planning on instead of going to get the oil changed. I would still have my JL.

Yea there are a few options I’ve seen out there to custom make. But I think that would look pretty slick

 

[benatc1]

Anyone know the amperage of the micro fuse in the add a circuit that comes with the switch Pros install stuff? Trying to reinstall in my new jeep and have to build a new one.

Awesome! Love the leather! I had that color in cloth in my gladiator and wish I had it in my JL.
