I made my own mudflaps, then put on the Aeroskin II deflector. I also did some simple sound insulation of the hardtop.

August 23 Delivery, now at 15,277. About 70% of those miles are easy highway miles - mostly from Atlanta to St. Simons and back. No issues!

Sorry, I don't recall. I think I just "measured" the thickness of the gap with my fingers, and then just bought some insulator that I was sure was thick enough to compress slightly and hold in place. A 6 - 8 foot section of the insulator is pretty cheap, so if in doubt buy a couple of...

Yes, plain old pipe insulator. I had to cut it, and I used a utility knife. Posts # 1 and 7 show how much you'll need to cut - a wide enough strip to fill in the space formed between the inner pillar and the hardtop. Once it is slid into place, any thin, flat device can be used to smooth out...

Turns out only one piece of rubber is sufficient. Drove around and "tested" the single piece.

I dislike the wireless charging pad - it heats up the phone, doesn't really charge, and essentially precludes storing anything in the little space that may heat up from induction. Rather than pull a fuse, I just cut a rubber mat of sufficient thickness that eliminates the coupling to engage...

I have an old rubber mat, about 1/8" thick. I took out the plastic tray over the charger, and cut a first rubber piece to fit within the tray. I then reinstalled the tray with the mat insert. The extra space from the mat attenuates the electromagnetic coupling so I can now place my phone or...

My driveway is pretty steep, but I manage it in 2H.

if you have a crash bar, make your own like I did. You can custom cut to any size you want. Mine are stout and perform perfectly.

Mine came at 50 PSI! The dealer didn’t bleed them down after delivery. it’s very common for cars to ship with higher pressure in the tires.

I did post the thread about adding pipe insulator to reduce wind noise (linked below, sounds like what you are referring to). I've also added pipe insulator between the frame and the hardtop, which helps a little. I do think my mudflaps that I made, which are large, also reduced noise slightly...

Man, what a lot of judgment in this thread. Not my cup of tea, but the build, in my opinion, is pretty original. If a customer has a lot of money and wants something original, good for them. Many of you with the negative comments - do you realize that people that do not drive Broncos see your...

Yep. It takes a little discipline, but I have found if I accelerate smoothly after stops, semi-coast downhill to maintain my speed (a lot of people speed up going downhill then slow down), and don't floor it to pass, I can easily get over 21, sometimes pushing 22+ MPG. On the other hand, when...

I've not noticed any difference, and when I drive down 16 in Georgia I'm usually cruising in the mid-80s. I installed the Aeroskin 2 a few months back, but in South Georgia the bugs are coming out in full force. At 80 MPH, the deflector lifts the bugs to the top half of the windshield.

Damn. Tough read. Sorry to hear this.

GOOD.

Why out an air freshener in a brand new car??? or any car…

You asked for confirmation in your reply, and then you criticize another for asking why in their reply. No issues with people asking why. Sometimes people are genuinely curious. One could inquire why you assumed the OP was a vegan. Why assume? Why ask? More to the point - who cares?

My problem was the factory running board interfered with most commercial flaps. But with hoop steps, you should have a lot of good commercial options. Good luck!
