Looks good. I'm looking to make the same jump, but I'll probably keep the KJ for the wifey to drive. Can't wait to get my JK. Just need some cards to fall the right way in my life first.

I feel I've crossed from the darkside to the light side! I used to be the underdog wheeling my KJ! Now I've got a Wrangler and the aftermarket options are making me dizzy!

agreed. I have been waiting forever for the stars to align perfectly to pick up my JK. Now I just need a raise, so I could pay some stuff off and finally pick one up.

Dylan, our JK's are nearly identical! I have every option on the checklist except two: side airbags and smokers group. I even have the block heater.
But I have to ask, what is the "drilled mirrors" mod?

Yep, seems to be more and more of the Sunburst Oranges showin' up for sure.
You know, it IS the coolest color afterall...
Did you get your JK built with the off road bumper or was that a dealer install? It looks good.
Ah yes, the drilled mirror mod. You will find that your mirrors have a slow trickle through the seap hole that DC so wisely covered with a gasket!?!?
Which doesn't let it drain properly at all leaving ugly water marks all the way down your JK.
After reading how much you loved drilling holes in your new JK, this mod is right up your alley!! Use the search feature of the forum and look up "drilled mirrors" and check out Rubimon's write up about how to go about it. It's easy, very functional and just about the first hole everyone on the forum puts in their JK.
Have fun, let me know how it goes!

Thanks for the info.
The bumper is dealer installed Mopar item. They charged me $100 to install, but I didn't pay shipping. Of course, it's the wrong one! I wanted the one with fog light holes, so they'll have to swap it out.
