Picking up where I left off

No, just the khaki parts I think. As much as I would like to wrap some of the black parts, I don’t think the wrap will adhere well due to the slightly textured nature of the powder coating.
I'm going to attempt to at least wrap the rear portion (with the vent) of the front fenders to see how the vinyl adheres to the powder coat. If it holds up, I'll probably do the tub armor as well.
I like the idea of a wrap because it's easily replaced if it gets damaged.
OP
Yep, that's why I like it. Gobi has long been my favorite. I think together with black, it would look really good. I also think it couldn't be that much just to wrap the hood, grill, windshield frame, and a few other minor spots.
OP
Really digging the look of these KC HiLites!

Got the FRP tune installed today via HPTuners. Will update in a few days to let everyone know how I like it, but right off the bat I definitely feel it in the seat of my pants!

Got a killer deal on Amazon for this sand colored Alien Sunshade. This is the Unlimited version so it covers more of the back. I think the sand color actually goes pretty well with khaki.
I have the same shade for my jeep. The rear coverage is great for the kids.
A great tip @bobthetj03 gave me was to buy some bungee cords to hold the rear seatbelts while they aren't in use. It makes it so they don't make tons on noise.

Great suggestion. I can't tell you how much those things annoy me when they are flapping in the wind.
OP
Wow! This FRP tune made an incredible difference. The Jeep feels so much more alive. I can absolutely feel the power increase. It’s not so laggy either. The throttle response is super crisp and punchy.
OP
Nope, that's coming in November. But even without the exhaust, it's extremely noticeable. The throttle response is the first thing you notice, especially in the mid-range. However, I can tell it pulls harder for sure. I think this combined with the headers, exhaust, and maybe a big valve Edelbrock head at some point might be all the power I need.
OP
Me too. I think I might have a somewhat cost effective remedy for 35s and the power loss that accompanies them.
I have a good set that I got locally a while ago. Don't think I'm going to install it. I need to put it up on the FS forum here ..
