So far the one thing I'm not digging overall is my 50" lightbar :(
And my complaint is only when the soft top is up. No whistle... But lots of buffering of the top itself. You can feel the soft top moving more than normal. And for FYI .. I'm running HMF brackets.
Now granted the top is only on for winter and summer vacation. And it's not our DD
But when we travel 500-600 miles a day to get out west.... I'm hoping the lightbar don't wear on my nerves
But man.... Does it look cool !! Lol

the only thing I regret is getting the Tera Flex hi-lift/roto pack bracket for my tera flex hinge. the Hinge is awesom the hi-lift/roto pack bracket is made out of recycled beer cans. the antenna mount about folds in half with a 3' antenna when driving down the highway.. it is flimsy. Oh and originally swaping my new BFG stock rubi tires for 285/70-17's as they were too small and with in 2000 miles I had to move up to 285/75-17 which I think are the minimum size that should be allowed on JK's. I also wish I would have skipped the AEV 2" lift and went with the AEV 2.5" lift altho actually happy with the 2" lift but you know just 1/2" more is always better

Regretted a few mods...mainly because at first, I didn't know that I'd later want to build a more serious rock crawling rig.
35" duratracs - Shortly went to 37" mtrs
2.5 Teraflex lift - Shortly pieced together a more complete lift with stiffer springs/longer travel shocks RK 3.5
Dumping a crap ton of money into my D30 (gears/lockers/truss/rcvs) - Blew it up and ordered prorock 44

I have two:
- Rugged Ridge tire carrier linkage - 50 bucks for something I could have made from home depot for $12.
- Smittybuilt SRC sliders - Terrible fitment and does not hold up to abuse.
