Today I thought I would change the look of the grill by adding a rust patina to it. I'm kinda diggin the way it turned out. I rusted a grill that I got from a friend, I still have the chrome one.

I replaced the OEM plastic side steps with knockoffs of Smittybilt XRC steps.

Got tired of the freakin meth heads steeling my bluetooth receivers and usb chargers out of my Jeep at night, so I
1) pointed the security cams better so the Jeep is fully covered
2) got a new bluetooth receiver and usb power port
a) iSimple MusicStream Bluetooth Receiver Black ISBT23 - Best Buy - bluetooth receiver
b) Auto Drive kd10u06 3 port usb power charger from Walmart. I can't find the exact one anywhere on the internet, it's making me crazy. Sorry no link.
Basically, I decided to wire everything through the dash nice and hidden. The bluetooth receiver I linked is nice cause you can wire it to the Jeep's power instead of using the power port. I may try and find a USB port deal that hard wires into the Jeep like the bluetooth receiver I have. I want to make it difficult to see as well as very difficult to remove. You have to take the dash apart to get it out now, or rip really really hard and f everything up while on my security cam, so I can find that ****er. Anyways, here's some shots to how it looks. I think it came out pretty nice, aside for all the dirt and gook lol
Aux Port
Charger plugged in and routed through the dash
Stuff hidden under the top of the dash
Top area close up
Full view
I also threw a tiny piece of velcro on the phone mount and on the usb c cable to keep it as hidden as possible when not plugged in. Hopefully this helps keep these morons from stealing my stuffs.
