That's hot.

What's the deal with your rear fender? I dig that no fender look. Wasn't sure if you broke it off or not.

Locked the center box, locked the glove box. Only thing left was the rear storage compartment, so I hooked a lock up to it!
Can't open it more than 3 inches to pull anything out with the lock on it. Perfect while the jeep is naked!

Just curious if anybody has done the grill insert mod this way? Thoughts, opinions, problems wud be appreciated. I'm thinking of purchasing the rugged ridge grill inserts (black without billet insert) because I think they wud make silver grill pop. Than I wud glue or zip tie gutter guard to these inserts instead of inside of grill. Thoughts? Recommend glue/ zip tie?

Black zip ties! Glue is too permanent...

I dont know about other years but on my 13 2dr if my tailgate it locked and top is down you cant open the rear storage at all. Is it different on other years? i just found this out and thought it was awesome idea.

2012 is that way IF you lock the doors with the key fob. Tailgate won't open. Also if someone reaches in and manually opens the doors the alarm will activate. Pretty nice. Just keep in mind, if you test this feature, the delay for this is like 15-30 seconds.
