shellback91 1,565 Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) I picked up a JK fire extinguisher shelf from GraBarsUSA that does not take up too much space. It secures using the exiting hard top bolts/screws so no drilling needed. I picked a 4 lb ABC dry chem extinguisher that fits great. Where the shelf sits the extinguisher is easily accessible. The only thing that rattled was the handle and it drove me a little nuts, I have remedied that. It sits nicely behind the back drivers side seat.

shellback91 1,565 Posted August 7, 2020 I also picked up an iClever Jump Starter that can be used for everything from jump starting a dead Jeep or car and charging/running other devices. And because it is hotter than Hades here I decided to get some Hothead Headliners with Sound Assassin Strips minus the side panels. So far so good on these, when it is one million degrees anything helps. The pics aren't so great but i can only bend so far. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks john @johnpa - i've had that same brand in my JK for at least a couple years now and they haven't sagged or anything. they seem to really help the A/C keep up on those hotter days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have only had them in a few weeks and I notice a difference. I am glad I added the "Sound Assassin" strips too, they help keep the inside a little quieter. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellback91 1,565 Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Gathering up my recovery gear. I bought an ARB 30' Snatch Strap last year so this is a little delayed. Added a couple of soft shackles to the mix recently. I also added a Rhino Shackle Hitch Receiver as an added rear recovery point.

shellback91 1,565 Posted November 22, 2020 I gave my Rubi a bath and a mini detail. I bought me a Meguair's DA buffer that attaches to my drill and went after the doors as a test for now. I know it can be counter productive but I like her clean when possible. It did okay at hiding the pin stripes until she gets dirty again. I do have a deeper gouge down the passenger side that I need to get after eventually if at all. After I finished that up I went over it with some Chemical Guys Synthetic Detailer to remove any left over gunk. I found that product in Gadget's build thread, thanks @theksmith for for the link. Now onto the next dusty trail/adventure! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellback91 1,565 Posted November 27, 2020 I decided to go after my now gray fenders and bumpers. I am a glutton for punishment I suppose. I got my hands on a Mothers Back-to-Black Heavy Duty Trim Cleaner Kit and got to work. Things look better than before, I was not expecting to get back to the new look just an improvement. Things are definitely cleaner so I am happy for now. I am going to see what happens after a dusty run then a wash before I do any further clean up/maintenance. Rear bumper. Front bumper. Front fender before. Front fender after. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shellback91 1,565 Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) I finally got my "Angled Down" Sliders/Rails/Steps from Rock Hard 4X4 so my Rubi Rails are off and set aside for now. My wife is short and needs a boost to get in so these should help her out. The step only hangs down a little past the rail. I am not into rock crawling so I think I should be good. Install wasn't as easy as the folks on the you tubes and even the vendor made it look of course. I did have to drill out a few of the pinch seam holes to round them out/make room. That is mentioned in the instructions a possibility so it was no big deal. The sliders use a bigger "bolt" through the pinch seam holes than stock is why, it also helps with the alignment a little. There were a few other challenges with the install, body bolts and "washers" that were kind of expected. Edited December 6, 2020 by shellback91 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
