    Update: Finished the budget upgrades on the outside:

    Crossbars $63
    Basket $89
    Draw-Tite hitch $110
    Bike Rack $133

    I'm still debating about mud flaps. I would likely go with the WeatherTech flaps if I did it.

    Other than that, I have a Jeep OEM cargo mat on order for the inside.

    Opus you have probably stated this before so I apologize for asking again, but where did you get your crossbars and basket?

    Installed my blowoff valve plate today. It brought out my inner 5 year old.

    Installed my crossbars. Like the look not crazy about the wind noise. Will see how it goes once I actually put something up there.

    No long trips, but it's been on the highway and around town. With MySky open I don't notice anything beyond the ambient wind noise. Closed up, I'll hear wind occasionally, but nothing I would call a problem. If it was, I'd try repositioning fore/aft or left/right to see if that helped.

    For me, I wanted low profile to make sure I cleared the garage door.

    I found a nearly empty can of plastidip in the garage, just enough to spray the mysky key. Got me thinking about the badges though. I think the contrast between glacier metallic and black would be very nice.

    Couldn't find a good roadside kit that I liked, so I pieced together my own. Not the cheapest way to do it, but it has what I want, and nothing I don't.

    Folding shovel
    Tow rope (20,000 lbs)
    Portable compressor
    Jumper cables
    A towel to keep mud and sweat off the seat when I need it: Seat Armour Universal Fit Jeep Towel-2-Go Seat Protector - Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YTZITPA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_zMRAxbJW8PXG8 :)

    Yeah, yeah... I know. It's just a beach towel with a grommet on it. But dammit, I like it.

    New Update for hill climb and remove delay on accel shift
    I noticed the shift when accelerating, but I also noticed as I ease off because I reached the speed limit it shifted hard to next gear. I'm sure it will help some, but I'm not sure if this takes care of my problem I have had...

    Would like to see some more pics of your install. Have been looking at this for a few weeks now. This might put me over the edge.
