Thanks! I'll probably paint them this upcoming week, when i have some free time.
Got my front brakes serviced today. Pads, rotors were fine so no need for replacement yet. I forgot to get brake fluid so the flush will have to wait another week.
Also when i had the jeep up on the lift i got to see my undercarriage and found out my oil filter adapter is leaking (Yayy fun!). Ordered a new o ring set from Mopar so that is up on my list to do.
Lastly got my full size spare mounted and balanced at the shop.

I'll be mounting my LED Light Bar on the front bumper this weekend. Just have to wire in a relay and fuse to the stock fog light switch.

Got my Light Bar mounted and wired today. Its a CREE 120W Bar. The quality seems to be pretty good. I wired an inline 30 amp fuse so it will blow before my wiring does if i ever run into trouble. I wired the bar straight to my factory fog light switch, it was really easy.
Also i recommend this "Mod" for anyone that wants to have their Light Bar stay on when the HI-Beams are turned one. All i did was locate my FOG #1 relay in the fuse box and bend the outside pin so that it will no longer make contact. This is the relay that tells your fog lights to turn off when the HI-Beams come on. Now my Light Bar stays on whenever i want it to.

Small updates...
Got my shorty Antenna installed, like the look of it.
Also switched out my front turn signal bulbs with Zevo LEDs. They put out great light.
Planning on picking up a set of TJ Moabs in the next couple days. I think they'll look great.

Finally picked up a pair of truck-lite headlights and man are these things amazing! Hands down they are worth the money if you are thinking about buying them.
Also hit a new milestone!

So my alternator decided to crap out on me over the weekend, so i ended up upgrading my 117 amp to a 136 amp Durango alternator. I looked over may different posts before doing it and it really was not that bad modding everything to make it fit. Really worth the upgrade if your deciding on doing it.
Had to grid down the bracket and part of the timing cover to make it fit.
All bolted up ready to go.
Don't forget to upgrade all the battery cables to 4 gauge. All mine we're already except for the lead wire from the alternator to the fuse box.
Added a 150 amp fuse in line just to be safe.
Fits perfectly.

what did you use to paint the bumper caps and door trim? I tried the heat gun trick and it lasted for a few days before the it started to fade.
