Maybe. You know they don't make 2.5 bump stops right?

OK tried to do this via PM so I don't look stupid, but it wouldn't let me attach image from my desktop...so whatever.
This is what I was referring too.

First Mod to Envy consisted of tinting the windows and some plasti-dip on the door hinges within a month or so (July 2012). Lame.
That initial hinge plasti-dip is still there though and holding up, and I think the black hinges look cool. Was a little while yet before I built up the nerve to any sort of real mod. Was still pretty new to the whole Jeep thing.

I wanted to do that to my silver JK. Looks good!

With the doors on and tapped off the hinge and bracket. Dipped, 3 coats, then removed tape while still wet from final coat.
It's dark at the moment but will take closer pic to show how they still look more than year an half later.

Once they dried did you have any problems with it chipping or wrinkling? I've never used it before and was wondering. I think it might be good to do to help protect the hinge when taking the doors on and off.

None yet, knock on wood. But it is just coating in a can. You can always peel as re-apply as necessary.
I recently saw at the local Home Depot they now carry grey and red plasti-dip in spray.

Damn right. Was great going back with my own Jeep a couple summers ago too. Sedona is great for the whole family.

Nice! Looks awesome! I might have to buy some plasti dip.

Catching up on mods already done, the next one done was installing my CB. Went with the handheld Midland 75. Currently using a RR CB antenna mount on the stock tire carrier. Ran coax inside the tailgate then along passenger side under carpet up to front center console. Works great and I'm happy with it till I need/want to upgrade.
Then came a real modification requiring some cutting.
A few forum friends got together for a fender trim party. Not wanting to tackle this alone (again, major newb), I decided to cut mine too, even with stock bumpers. The trim came out good though.

Next mod, never used 2013 premium soft top. Great deal for a great soft top. Im loving it.
Fast forwarding to just a few months ago, was my LoD armor lite shorty with stinger. Went LoD just to be a little unique. Ttfhell is the only other I know running it. I like it and LoD quality was spoken highly of by those more knowledgable than I.

Jags, rig looks great, looking forward to following this one! What fire extinguisher mount are you using here? I've got one in the back on the cage but would like one too with easier access like you have here.

Thanks. Have a few more mods to post to get things caught up.
This is just a mini extinguisher as I too run larger off the rear stock cage. I just like having a little something right there, just in case. Hopefully never need it. I'm not going to put out a major fire, but maybe buy time while someone grabs my larger one. Or can be quick to help out a fellow jeeper on the trail. Believe it or not found this at Target of all places and it came with a mount. The holes just happened to line up with those on the seat frame. Just needed a few washers and nuts and bolts sized to fit through the holes.

Rig is coming along quickly! Excited to see it come together.

Thanks Sean. Been a long while in the making, much longer than originally thought.
In the end, I think I'm going to be happy with my decisions and how ENVY will hopefully continue to progress over time.
