Barricade used to make a grille cover which is exactly what I was looking for, but they don't make it anymore.
I bought the last one.

Yeah that is the "downside" persay, i wonder if its truly a problem even with a good brand of wrap like 3M ? I may do that myself on wrapping the grill in a satin/almost matte black.
I bought the last one.I got it 7 years ago and they discontinued them soon after.

Which did you use, I’ve never been able to get any of those to work.
More shop time for the sub build … everything fits great. Just waiting for the amp—going from the 4-channel Soundstream ST4.1200D and adding a channel (300w @ 2Ω, planning for at least 250w) to the ST5.1300D. It only adds 1.5” to the length, so it’ll go in the same spot, the stock bracket under the steering wheel for the satellite radio unit.
I wouldn’t usually use a “mini” class-D amp, but the size and measured output fits the bill perfectly for a hidden TJ amp (I don’t like exposed wiring or components under seats). They’re meant for motorcycles and SXS, but power is cheap and small nowadays as long as it outputs close to its spec sheet (have to measure them).
Finished version of the sub will have no hardware showing—this is just a test baffle so I can swap it for other drivers and port exits for testing.

Had a bit of a walk around.

Installed my new Bestop Supertop. The fabric is nice, but the frame had a couple quality control issues, which were pretty disappointing. I had two instances where bolt holes didn't get close to lining up and had to make some modifications. The most ridiculous issue, pictured below, is one of the holes in the frame wasn't even completely drilled all the way through. At least it was an easy fix.
That said, happy to have a soft top again for the summer for the first time in a couple years.

Today is 80° and 35% humidity in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. That means one thing...TOPS OFF!

Of course, rain is expected by Monday, so I'll be scrambling to put the top back on tomorrow night. But until then, I'm going to enjoy this.
Oh, I got my WRG winch line spooled on this morning. Unfortunately, the stinger is so low that it doesn't allow me to use the parking area built into the fairlead for the thimble. This will work for now.

Really like that front bumper. Which one is this?
Thanks!
Ordered some new fuel injectors as mine are cracked… snagged some Bosch 4 hole ones from precision auto injectors since they were way cheaper than mopar and very reputable.
