Owned the jeep for a little over a year. Started by adding a Mopar light bar, windshield brackets and IPF lights. This week I decided to step it up a lot here's what I've done so far to date. Definitely fun working on these trucks!

Exterior:
Rampage Recovery Front Bumper - Textured Finished
Rugged Ridge Locking Fuel Door
Rugged Ridge Hood Catches
Front Runner: Slimline Half Rack - Roof Rack
Rigid Industries - Dually Fog Light Brackets (Front)
Rigid Industries - Light Bar Bracket
Smoked Turn Signals and Side Markers
Bedlined Grill
Vinyl Hood Decal

Interior:
MYGIG LockPick with Reverse Cam
Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Tailgate Cover

Lighting:
J.W. Speaker Headlights
AVS Tail Lights (Isee-Systems)
Rigid Industries E50 Light Bar
Rigid Industries Dually - (Fog holes & on Roof Rack)

Next step for me is the AEV 2.5 Lift Kit, 35's and either the AEV rear bumper and tire carrier or the AEV rear bumper and Teraflex hinge

AEV Salta wheels and Procal
Goodyear Duratrac 315/70r17
Black Mcgard Lug Nuts

Factory Sahara lift, zero rubbing on the road even with steering at full lock. Pitch seam was cut at factory, air damn was previously modified for rampage bumper.

Got brand new TPMS however I'm having issues with the procal lowering the psi, it still alarms at 30...

Thanks, yea I agree that wouldn't look good with flat fenders. However the new mopar highline fenders may work nicely with a full size front bumper, have to wait and see once they are released. I just don't want a big gap between the fenders and the bumpers

Removed the fenders, and installed the Lund flat fenders in the textured finish. Went with these since not many good flares for full length bumpers and IMO the mopar highline ones were a let down.

Took a day and a half to install, not 4 hours like the instructions had started. The rivet tool they gave me broke after one fender and finding a bolt that was strong enough to not break in half proved to be the battle of the day. 3 broke in the rivet which required a drill to extract it. What a day...

I'm glad its over, gained some good clearance without needing to lift the jeep, zero rubbing now. Definitely worth it but Lund needs to be much more clear on the actual time, and supply an extra rivet bolt at least.

I also installed the drake door handle inserts today, nice little touch. As well as the tuff under seat storage bin. Next time some new side steps.

Not the fenders I would have chose, but they look SICK on your jeep! Think they'd look funky on 2 drs. Wanna trade jeeps for a week? Month.... or two? ;)
Which roof rack it that again? Wonder if it would work with a 2dr. And once again, gorgeous jeep! :)

Great looking jeep!
So with he full width bumper both front and rear and having the stock side rails, do the Lund fenders match up with those the same as stock did? Thats the only thing holding me back from swapping fenders, i don't want things not to line up anymore.
Great JK man, good work.

Its a front runner roof rack they make a nice version for the 2 door.
The lund were the only ones i could find that matched well with the factory length bumpers. they do extend a little bit past the factory side steps, but it looks good. Really happy with how it came out
