For the 4 doors, too bad someone hasn't come out with a similar material and shaped panel or panels that would join up with the front panels, but just mount to the sport bar on top...IMO that would not only be easy to take on and off (compared to the fabric setup), but would look good AND protect the rear passengers from some of the weather and sun...

Now I'm not only waiting for affordable, stock looking half doors (x4), BUT, you guys have to put this thought into my head!!!
I do love thinking of the possibilities...

You can get them at Autozone or any of the others. Their called Euro mirrors. They're cheap and look OK, but I wouldn't recommend them for visibility. They're too small vertically. You have to have them aimed perfectly or they're worthless and we all know how these things get bumped. I think I'm going to relocate my door misrrors with the Rugged Ridge relocation bracket or something similar.

First - that is one of the best looking Unlimited's i've seen on here. SWEEEET
I was thinking about getting the same seat covers. The photo makes them look alot lighter in color than the flame red exterior, almost pink. Is that just photo trickery? Do they match in person? I ask because I installed "red" grab handles made by Rugged Ridge in my flame red rubicon, they look right, but came out pink in photos. Thanks man.

You're right about the seat covers. They don't match exactly. It does have a little different tint. More of a slight pinkish (although not as drastic as the picture) hugh compared to the tomato hugh of the paint. It blends good enough, but it could and should, since they are made for a JK, match better with the factory paint. They still look good and they protect the factory cloth so I'm happy.

Thanks, I like the look too, but still may put something else on eventually if the stock wheels get chewed up anymore. They're a little more covered with the 37's so we'll see.
When I go offroad, I throw the spare in the back. It's a pain because it's heavy as spit and I can't lay it down without folding the seats. I'm waiting to see what AEV's rear bumper looks like before I buy one. I really could use the weight back there to level her out and I think it will ride better although I don't have any complaints now.
I went to ACE and got some plastic caps to fit the holes. There's two for the bump stops and one for the brake light wiring. I can't remember the size. The smaller holes are oblong so you may want to put some sealant under the cap. I am still looking to see if I can find some with a bigger lip.

Removing the wiring is pretty simple. Just open the vented cover on the inside of the gate and disconnect the plug. The cover just pops off. Once disconnected remove the wiring through the outside of the gate boot and all.
