How much were the slush mats (front & rear)?
GC dealer has quote me $175 for the set and I'm wondering if thats a bit high.

Thanks

That's a good price. I bought mine through the mopar website and paid $233.30 (front & rear). I'd also check out the one for the cargo area, ($208.47) that one has been very helpful.

Kev.

I just picked up the side rails, my new off-road spare and gas bottle holder today. I'm hoping to install everything tomorrow and post a few photos.

Kev - How are you liking your Rhino sunseeker? I've been thinking about installing one, but I remove my tray when I am come home from off-road trips and put the normal bars back on.

Just got my new belly pan installed today. The service guy was nice enough to let me grab a photo while he had it up in the air installing it. It's hard to see in the photo, but this new belly pan (from the 2013 Trailhawk) is very different than what is on stock WK2s. It's made out of a material very similar to the inner wheel well liners, (instead of plastic) so it is firm and durable, but also flexible.

Here is a photo:

Since my off-road spare doesn't fit in the spare wheel well area and will now be placed up on the roof rack. I've converted the spare wheel well area into a storage area. I've got all my extra tools, air compressor, jumper cables, charging adapters, first aid kit as well as 2 plastic storage baskets full of camping gear. It's nice to have a secure place to store all the little bits and bobs you take with you off-road, that doesn't eat up precious interior cargo space.

Interesting, I was just complaining about mine, I have already broken mine where the bolts are. I don't know what's on the std GC but i guess it's not very good. I think I broke it hitting some sand pretty hard, I might have to make a frame or add a couple of metal struts going from the front to the back to stop it getting pulled back when contacted.

This is great use of the space, nice work.
