What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[RadicalMatt]

The main thing I was worried about losing with bigger tires would be the responsive acceleration.
Wasn't sure if this was a product of the 8speed auto, the 3.6v6 or the tires.
In comparison my JKUR seems very sluggish on the gas, I know its not gonna be a racecar but there is just no accel lol

basic mathematics and logic tells us that bigger tire = heavy tires = larger circumference= slower acceleration

But what I have read from those who have already lifted with 35" are getting an impressive response out of the JL

No sorry. I stayed with the basic plastic bumper knowing I would upgrade.

What kind of bumper is that? Looks like a barricade? I also see it has spots for fog lights, so do the stock fog lights fit?

Its a Barricade Adventure HD bumper. The stock LED fog lights do work, the stock halogen fog lights do not.

excited to get rid of this damned 3.8l v6 lol

Hahaha - the reason I sold my JK was that the last time I took it to my mechanic he gave me 'the look' and said "You're not going to keep this much longer are you? You should probably sell it."

Had a Magnaflow dual outlet exhaust installed at my local custom exhaust shop. Kept resonators on for now, Its a little throaty but not very loud at all.

Which tire cover is that. I know I’ve Seen it, but can’t remember the company. Was it around $100?

Wondering how well it’d match the Granite paint if getting it...

Yeah, I have Granite too. Is yours color matched Rays1st or did you just get the plain black? It looks like it matches the bumper, so like a flat black in the pic.
