What did you do to your JK this w/e.
They're all factory Mopar parts, purchased and (mostly) assembled by Jeeps are Us outta New York. Not one of the most satisfying cross border purchases I've ever made, what I was expecting was not quite what I got. Mostly a failure to communicate. Dressing them up the way I did, makes a set VERY expensive, but there are cheaper options. Check out their website, jeepsareus.com.
See Quadratec is now selling the Mopar ones too. Catalogue I have is pricing them out at about 1800 US. They're ad claims their complete except for mirrors. The only snag I can forsee is matching the door plug to your year of jeep especially if you have any power options. Jeeps are Us does this for you and correctly, every one of the power items (mirrors and locks) worked perfectly the first try. Plug and play.

I spent the last week getting a bunch of projects done on my JK. Installed headlight guards, finished modifying and painted front bumper, changed rims (steel, 17x8 with 4" BS or -12mm offset for you metric folks, used factory Rubi rubber and did rotation while they were off, installed reinforcement kit on tire carrier to handle extra weight and offset of new rims, and installed flat fenders. 34 hours in total. The MB is my inspiration but I call her the "CJ-K". At some point I am going to make mounts to hold an axe and spade under the doors along the rock rails.
Took off my 33" BFG and put on my stock tires for the winter.(sigh) I also prefabbed a winch cover from scratch out of fibreglass- just have to primer and paint soon.
Sweet, but how have you got your license plate mounted. Need an idea for mounting the front plate presently just have it zip tied to the fairlead. Not the most usable option. Seen clip on mounts from aftermarket but they don't appear to be theft proof.

I used the AEV license plate bracket for Hawse fairlead... There are others that have a hinge to flip out of the way. This one has thumb screws so you can just remove the plate when you go wheeling.
I bought an early Christmas gift, part of the black Friday deal from 4wheel parts, the Insane Audio jk1001 GPS radio.
Took less than two hours to install. No modifications required, its pretty slick. Cranks out the tunes pretty good. My jk is stowed for the winter right now but could not resist putting the battery back in to test it out.
Looking forward to next spring.

Krown undercoating done for the winter. And an update from my last entry. Instead of the Core44 front diff I build a Mopar performance D44HD with OX locker and 5.38 gears.
