Every other section has this stickied so I thought I would start one. Forgive me if its in there already but I could not find it.
Anyway here's what I did.
After removing the different cover for a routine fluid change I decided to paint the cover, it needed a little touching up so I thought I would go ahead and paint it red. I already had some farm equipment paint on hand, I'm pretty sure it will hold up to any temps that might be reached.

I have been watching this site for way to long and wanted to post what I have done to maybe give others ideas and help out with questions on products I have used...=).... Soooo here is catch up of all the work I have done on my obsession since I got her a year ago.

My baby...still no name for her yet...stubby bumper mod first off...70 bucks well spent...

Aev Dual Sport SC (14 hour painfuly long install omg....expensive and not sure I would go this route a second time...it is a great lift but for the price and the pain to install I am not sure I would do it again....)

Chrome cover and tail light gurads (10 minute install way better)

Full Plasti-Dip Interior top including freedom tops. (LOVE IT AND RECOMMEND IT)

Air Raid Cold Air Intake. (One of my FAVORITE mods..more power and it sounds way better with a deep growl on acceleration. Driving carefully I was able to increase mpg from 14.2 previous to Air Raid to 18.8 max ... again driving very carefully and the 14.2 was just standard driving with the Km2s ;) )

Hood Latches cannot remember the brand but I was tired of hood flutter and wanted to secure the alarm system a little better.

I Made a 3/4 inch thick bed cover with built in 12" sub. I also replaced all the speakers with kicker speakers (way better then the factory paper)

35" BF KM2 shoes.. with Black Rock Viper 900 titanium finish wheels .. I could not be happier with this tire. Low noise, at slow speeds it feels like fingers on the road crawling up it. I have not wheeled in these yet they are very new. But I cannot wait to head back to New Mexico for some more wheeling.
Pic Above.

Rubicon Express Track bar. I add this after I had a little death wobble incident which was partially my fault in my lift installation. It helped solidify but later I found a very bad pitman arm to drag link ball joint that I replaced and that fixed it all. The larger tires really made the biggest feel difference in taking on hard bumps at 70 mph

Viper 5904 alarm also... nothing to take a pic of really...

Painted the ugly muffler flat black as the first mod then added a trailer hitch.

And a whole bunch of small stuff I am sure I forgot.... next is ultra bright LEDs for the interior. If you all have any questions of what I think of my mods I would love to share the information as ya'll have really helped my build ideas! Now back to reading about you alls mods =)...

Thanks! (ans yes I have a jeep problem)
How are the hood latches working for you? Mine crapped out after the third time I tries to unlock them. Had to drill the locks out . Them had to carefully pry them up. Thankfully no damage to the vehicle from them.
If you plan on off reading, take them off. They get messed of from the body flexing. Found that put after the first trip. That's what I get for not reading reviews.

Took off (and sold in 44 minutes, thank you Craigslist) the mopar side steps and then purchased(well traded for) the rubicon rails and installed. Very happy happy happy.
What did you get for your steps? I'm thinking of doing the exact same thing.

What did I do to my JK today ?
Nothing ......
Been confined to a hospital bed for almost a week :-(
Wife has been driving it instead of her AV and says I ain't getting it back.
Might just have to sell 2 of our Harley's and my Dodge PU and buy
another one next year if all goes well with biopsy's tomorrow.
Rob ......
Get welll and get back in your rig

Thanks for the Prayers !
Problems started back on Nov. 14th with a pain that myself and
my doctor thought were nothing more than kidney stones.
After 3 more pain attacks since then. A week ago the pains got
so bad I had to be admitted to hospital. They then found blood clots
in behind both knees and my lungs. They also found the source
of the pain to be a swollen Lymph Node and found more swollen
Lymph Nodes also. So between being medicated for pain and also
for blood thinning they have kept me here. Tomorrow ( Monday )
they biopsy one of the nodes to see if it is cancerous :-(
Then maybe another day here until my blood can clot normal again.

Really so far so good I do not have a wheeling trip planed for at least a few months bug I will be on the look out for damage. I got really sick of treating the plastic As it faded ... So far so good ;)

And the locks are pretty good. I am very gentle with them though

Attending 4xAZ's Toys for Tots event yesterday. Had an absolute blast, and got to hang out with a few of the forum members on here again. We had a 20 something Jeep convoy turning everyone's heads through Tucson on our way to the event, and at the time we left, they'd managed to fill several Jeeps with toys. So all around a wonderful feeling.

Of course I saw more toys I want to add to Harley and Ivy while in the company of so many rigs. (I dunno how many Jeeps ended up showing up by the end, but we overtook that place. lol)

Ordered some temporary seat covers for the twins this weekend. Can't swing the wet okale's at the moment, but Kittycon definitely solidified that those are what we're gonna go with. I'm not usually a fan of pink, but that's one sweet looking rubi you have there madam.

Now I just gotta make it through the holidays so I can start using play money for Jeeps again instead of christmas presents. lol

What's your thoughts on it? Driving my Jeep I haven't really felt I needed it. Originally it was going to be one of my top mods.
I know you weren't talking to me, but I'm gonna answer anyway. ;)

When I first got my jeep I was so lost without a place to put my foot so I ordered the MORE. By the time I got it in and got it installed I had already found a new comfy spot for my foot and I rarely use the pedal now. I do use it wheeling, it's nice to brace on it, and it's nice on long trips to be able to have a place to stretch out my leg with a foot rest. Had I had it installed when I first got the jeep I think I'd be more attached to it, but I got used to another position so it doesn't get much use.

I'm probably the only owner of one that feels this way though! People here love it.
