What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Namib]

They are local to me. I will be testing/reviewing the parts as soon as I have them installed. From what I can see so far, I am very impressed with the build quality.

What lift did they give you? It seems like they go from 2.5" all the way to 8" long arm.

Ordered it! What should I pay for this vehicle?

Is that the Line-X of Wilmington shop? What will you do with the rear cargo storage area?

Added a cheap container with the Rugged Ridge fire extinguisher holder to be able to hold dog food when weekend camping!

I wish I could, my English mastiff eats 11 cups a day. I could probably fill the under cargo area with a weekend of his food.

Love my doggo but frequently jealous of others with normal sized pets, his size makes some thing difficult that I would love to do with him otherwise .

Hooked up an interior led light bar to Aux 3

It's just the long arm kit(No springs/Shocks.) I'm going to eventually end up with coilovers, but for the time being I ordered the skyjacker 3.5-4" coils/shocks to install with the long arm.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of $46,300 plus tax reg doc fees etc... Is a good price. My dealer was 6% below invoice with tread lightly so that's what I used for that price.

So basically EP minus hold back HB

Got some parts from Roam Offroad that I need to find the time to install!

How do those steps bolt on? Body or frame? Do they have jack points?

You are going to need an entire box of Snickers Bars for that install day / days! Can't wait to see it all on your JL

@TTEChris please do a write up on the step install! I am waiting on the info for these. They look great and I’m curios to see how they bolt up

They bolt on like the factory Rubicon rails but with larger bolts into the pinch seem. Not sure I would use them as a jack point.

Sorry, I was impatient and had already installed them before I read your post. They are VERY easy to install. There are three brackets that mount to each side. They use the existing holes in the pinch welds for bolts/nuts and one bolt into the tub that is already threaded(If you have a Rubicon just look underneath, it uses the same holes.) What's nice is after the brackets are bolted on you don't need someone to help you mount the steps to the side... Just lay them on top and thread the 6 bolts in. I put all the bolts/nuts in hand tight and then bolted the steps as far away from the body as possible. Once all the bolts are in tighten the bottom three bolts first, followed by the 6 bolts/nuts that go through the pinch weld. Once the brackets are fully secure you can adjust the steps as close to the body as you like and tighten the remaining 6 bolts that attach the mounts to the steps. I'm happy to walk you through it over the phone or via PM if you like, but once you get into it you will realize how easy it actually is.
The steps include lights which I plan to wire once I have more free time.

Awesome I will be waiting to see your post on the lights and stuff! Just to clarify your saying they use the frame bolts as well as pinch seam bolts? So they would hold the weight if the Jeep as a rock slider as well?

I'm not sure I would use them as a full blown rock slider. I'm sure they would take minor impacts like the Rubicon Rails fairly well, but I would want them spaced out further from the body(Which you can adjust, but then it doesn't look as good) and secured to the frame to be used as a full blown Rock Slider.
Here is how they secure. Two bolts to the pinch seam and one to the tub at each mount(Just like the Rubi Rails.)
