I've found a way to remove the new sticker model on my JK.. If you look closely, you have 2 screws for each visor... remove the screws and "toss" the visor away from the JK. Did that first week..

Actually I put the screws back to hold the plastic thing but you get the point; remove the visors.... its a free mod !

Ha. Good mod. I have thought of that but I need the shade sometimes. And I sit high so a windshield shade sticker across the top of the glass is not a good option. (plus I like the center jeep grill icon above my mirror).

Hmmm.. You must have different heat than I do because I tried it on my 2011 and they didn't budge.

I did the zip ties on the tie downs awhile ago. Might have helped but still had some flutter. Removing the spring worked so much better IMO. I didn't like seeing the ties either. Tested it last night. 80mph and solid.

No one posted a pic of the "Dimple" mod. I did that 2 hours after buying my Jeep. Actually has bothered me ever since but now that it is a "mod". I like it!

A couple more pics of the Puck prep. Forgot to mention, use only pucks from Canada or Czechoslovakia. They use a higher grade of rubber for production.

Cheers.

I like the chop fenders. My son has been bugging me to do it and I have been fighting myself on this. I don't want to lose the well liners. Does anyone have a work around this?

I want chopped fenders but don't want to muck it up. Told my wife and she said, "how much will new ones cost when you mess up?" Not "if" but "when"...ha! You see why I'm worried?!?
