Very easy to do with Plasti Dip, only took 30 minutes in total. I'm thinking of doing the antenna next.

Painted entire undercarriage and wheels wells with Rustoleum, Matt Black paint. Its scary how fast Jeep can rust under after only 2 winters.

Mine is just one year old and I have to do the same with Tremclad in addition to having it undercoated by Krown.

I had the jeep re geared to 4.10s from 3.21s.(I wont be going larger than 33s, and have a 2013 auto) The installer also added Truetracs, front and back. I gotta say, he did a great job, just as quiet as new. The truetrac up front is invisible in 2wd. I've put the stock wheels back on for the break in period and noticed the fuel mileage is slightly worse on the highway, but actually better in town. Very happy with the upgrade.

I have to admit, I had to google what Trutracs were/are. Is it on par with lockers?

Trutracs are another form of LSD, not a locker. They allow the torque applied to each to be varied, unlike a locker. They require no friction modifier like a common LSD, and there is no clutch plates to wear out, ever. Eaton has produced a neat YouTube video showing their operation. Simple, quiet, no maintenance, reliable. Should be a factory option IMHO.

Finally put the premium soft top on today. Left the spiderwebshade on too. Man, this thing is quiet. Not much different than the hard top.
