Think I'll be done for today. Fenders trimmed, markets lights replace, rear plastic thing they call a bumper removed. Pretty happy wth the results. Maybe I'll go drive it now

Does this look factory to anyone. This is a 2017 and I'm pretty sure my 2013 was more squared off?

They (Chrysler) started to trim the pinch seem from the factory at some point to save us the hassle when running larger tires.
Well I like it! No more empty void to fill after trimming.

Also, has anyone experienced a squeak from what I imagine a rear wheel bearing from a new jku? Does it settle and go away or should I have it looked at?

Not normal. When is it occurring?
15-40 range then I can't hear it over the wind and tire noise

So I brought it to the dealership I bought it from five days earlier and asked if a mechanic could hop in with me to get his opinion. I was immediately told that unless I planned on brining it in for an appointment that allowed them to work on it that no mechanic was willing to go for a ride to get me on the right path.

That's what I figured. I've had real bad luck at this dealership and honestly refuse to have them work on my jeep. That's why I just wanted an opinion before I travel way out of my way for something I might be able to fix myself (even though I shouldn't need to).

Does anyone know if there's a way to remove JKU rear headrest?

Usually there is, like the front. The rear headrest seam to be fixed

So I'm looking at getting new tires in the next few months. The plan is to upgrade to 37"s and would like the ridge grappler to help smooth out the ride a little as my mtrs suck. I'm currently running the AEV leveling kit with cut factory fenders and d30 w/3.73 gears. I will be buying a PR 44 and still deciding on lift come next winter. For the time being, will this be ok to run with my current set up until I upgrade the axle and suspension? I don't intend on wheeling it in till everything is complete, it will just be a daily driver until then. Also if anyone has pictures of this setup, that would be great. Thanks all for the help!
