What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[jadewolf]

@jadewolf

I installed the same rings about 3 years ago on my JL. They are great and you will like them.
IF you want a very stout, quality, clip hook that fits / works with them perfectly get these. I use then on the netting I hang in the back occasionally.

Also at Walmart in Automotive, you can buy these inexpensive little cord tie ropes that work great in conjunction with those rings.. to secure things like totes, etc.. I have 4 of them..

Thank you! I'll take a look into these! I've just been using my assorted bungies and cam straps, but these look intriguing!

Do we know the bolt size and thread pitch? I've a soft top and would need to purchase the correct bolts to install d-rings on my JLU.

I believe the hardtop bolts are M8 x 1.25

You can also buy the OEM ones here: https://www.quadratec.com/p/mopar/hardtop-screw-washer-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt-06512235AA

good choice!

Thanks - I think they both our Jeeps look great! (I'm waiting on the TeraFlex spare relocation kit to come in - hoping to take a little strain off the tailgate.) - I really like the stance with the Vectors, but want to correct for the offset on the spare.

nothing dramatic, got the front windows tinted.

As you are aware the CANBUS on newer vehicles control a lot...

Oh, I'm aware. I purposely selected CANBUS-embedded tail and reverse bulbs when upgrading the incandescent fitments on my JLU.

I built a mount for my radio& charger. Plugs into 12 volt socket in back. Figured it's out of way storage and always ready to go. Still haven't pulled the trigger on a mobile unit.

All good stuff there. My RK springs are not corner specific either. I used the RK06840 rear spring perches, the passenger side is 1/2” taller. Also used a teraflex 1/2” spacer in front. I finally got my ocd to shut up, lol. So as you can see, I share your pain....

Try doing all that on a down slanted and side slanted street, its really a pain in the ass you measure it all level, go look at it it looks like a cripple, get it on flat and its going the opposite way

Nothing exciting yet...
Put Bartact seat covers on the rear to protect them from my Akita (I have two and one rides in the way back, and one rides in the back seat).
Added Rugged Ridge Sill Guards.
Weathertech Cargo Area Mat.
Offroam Iphone holder.
Mopar Grab Handles (rear ones are in the mail so front only for now)

In the mail right now I have Westin Snyper Trible Tube Rock Rails/Step on the way which I'm excited about.

Added a Rugged Ridge Venator front bumper. Some reviews I had seen made me a little concerned regarding fitment and quality, but overall I was very happy with both.
It was packaged very well and I was very happy with the condition of the box and all the contents when it arrived. The box was 114 lbs and I figured it would be beat to crap but it looked good.
A couple of hints to make your install go better. I had to run to town a couple of times to pick up a couple of things. The 4 little M4 button head bolts were junk and a couple heads stripped out easily. I bought 4 phillips head bolts. They worked much better. Also you might want to use a tap to clean out the threads of any of the welded/powder coated nuts. Don't know if they were plugged or just didn't align right. Some were trouble but none stripped out for me. If you are installing the overrider/grill guard, do yourself a favor and get a 17mm stubby wrench. The long wrench will cause you nothing but aggravation.
The install went well - the instructions are fair and I watched a couple of youtube install videos that were helpful.

Girlfriend likes to put her feet on the grab bar so I wrapped it in paracord to match the dark saddle seats in my JLR. Has a saddle blanket texture to it and I’m loving the look.

I really like what you did there... real nice..... looks great... unique...

Any chance this 72 yo guy could see a pic of her bare feet up against there... I'm into feet...

Leave the para cord in place as it looks great... but do encourage your gal to keep her feet away from that region... the passenger air bag deploys just a tad above that grab bar.... you would hate to see her feet and knees buckled/broken or worse by the air bag deployment if you were to get into an accident and her feet were up there..
