    Wireless Phone Charger for JK?

    Reading the above replies, I now realize you’re looking for wireless charging, not a BT wireless charger. Sorry, I don’t have any info on wireless chargers. In case anyone’s interested, though, these BT chargers are awesome; I put one in our Jeep and one in our 2007 Tahoe. Anker makes great...

    New rear bumper... sort of

    Very cool, looks great. I’m also a fan of the minimalist look on Jeeps. If I did anything to the stock bumpers, it would be this sort of conversion. Nice job.

    Is there an easy and inexpensive way to get a replacement key for my JKU?

    As mentioned above, go to a good lock smith who does automotive keys. Do NOT go to a Jeep Dealer. My daughter lost one of our JK keys a couple weeks ago. My first call was to the dealership where we bought the Jeep. They quoted $125 for the key and $80 to program it, plus tax. They also...

    How does the Jeep know to turn the dome light on?

    Hey Chris, follow-up question. If I turn the dome lights off entirely, as you’ve described, does that eliminate any/all power draws if I take my doors off? This was always a PITA on my 87 Wrangler. I tried taking the door off a few times, but could never rig up anything to efficiently hold...

    Retro Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door

    These guys make some really nice stuff. I haven’t seen the early 80s Renegade decals on there, but they have the 70s versions and some other cool Jeep decals. https://www.thepixelhut.com/collections/jeep-decals?page=2

    Jeep Super Bowl Commercial

    This was, by far, my favorite commercial during last night’s game. Genius and funny, too.

    Soft Top Window Replacement

    Thanks Chris. I’ve look around, but can’t get into the back seat with the way the JK seats work. I’ll need to get my daughter to climb in there and look around more closely.

    Show me pictures of decals I need ideas to dress it up

    Nice. I believe the correct decals from back when mine were originally on Jeeps included a wide black hood stripe. I’ve considered it, but so far, I’m happy with how it looks.

    Soft Top Window Replacement

    Our 2011 Jeep JK came with a soft top; we bought it used from a local Jeep dealer. The top itself is still in great condition, but the back window is getting pretty difficult to see through. I’m also not a big fan of the window tint in all 3 soft window. I’ve read that windows are replaceable...

    Show me pictures of decals I need ideas to dress it up

    Put these on a couple weeks ago. I love the retro look. Also, if you like the general look of the Renegade strips, but want different shapes or for them to say something else, Pixel Hut has lots to choose from. They will also make custom versions with whatever you want on them.

    Emblem Removal

    FWIW, I used the hair drier, Goo Gone approach to remove the white Wrangler and Sport decals from our JK. It was amazingly fast and easy. Maybe took 10 minutes and there is no sign they were ever there....

    Are XRC armor fenders street legal?

    That reminds me... In 1999 I bought a brand new 4 door 4WD GMC Yukon. It was gorgeous; last year of the square body style, platinum paint, black fender flairs, tan leather interior, skid plates, tinted windows, loaded. After I picked it up, I was driving with my assistant down the Dallas...

    Retro Jeep Wrangler JK 2-door

    Love it! Looks really cool. The retro roll bar is a nice touch. It’s been years since I had a Jeep where I could easily take the doors off, but that is true Jeeping. Especially if you tilt that windshield down, too!

    2010 JKU Rubicon

    Very nice! I love white Jeeps with black trim. My second Jeep was a new ‘87 Wrangler in white/black. It was all stock, back then, but I still received lots of compliments on it. Love the lift and the camera mount is genius. Cool stuff.

    Just ordered new wheels and tires

    Nice. Really cool rims and tires! As much as those things cost, I can see it being hard to decide on exactly what you want. You made excellent choices.

    Yeah, good idea. I’ve actually got a few versions of those saved on my Amazon Prime list. Thanks. BD

    Here are some updated photos. I’ve always loved the retro Renegade decals, so installed those. Also removed original white Wrangler Sport decals. Next steps are to reblacken bumper, flares, etc and freshen up the headlights. For inside, I found some kill parachord grab handles in black and...

    Funny. Well, she was the inspiration to finally get another Jeep. Technically it’s a family vehicle, but my daughter sounds like yours. I have to schedule time slots to actually drive it. That said, she freaking loves it! In her mind, it’s as good as new and the cools vehicle she could have...

    Thanks, I meant what do the DFW local Jeep clubs tend to drive. I’ve owned Jeeps in the past as well as several 4 wheelers (ATVs), so I’m comfortable deciding what we can do vs. not worth trying. I don’t want to bang this thing up (and I’m 57yrs old) so not interested in even moderately...
