What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[jurassic3k]

Nice to hear it! And I think it looks great with your color scheme. I was considering plastic stick on ones from JeCar on Amazon if these weren't good (https://www.amazon.com/JeCar-Guards-Protector-Wrangler-2018-2020/dp/B08CSHNQ4B), but I like the idea of the metal housed ones more if they don't have installation issues. Did you do the RuggedRidge front ones too?

Btw I like your paint matched tow hook! That's on my list of things to do for mine.

Thanks, planning on painting the front hooks to match. I installed the front covers as well...really like the black accents with the Willys

Got my Diffs armored up finally(it's been...difficult to say the least.) Also, much to my Wife's chagrin I've already started looking into what tires will replace my KO2s when they wear down. Definitely going up to either 34 or 35 inch tires, just not sure which and what brand yet. Decisions decisions...

I was interested in these tail light guards. But I saw several reviews mention that they're kind of heavy and slightly thick so you can no longer push the lights into the supporting holding clips. Thus they said they're just held by the nylon screw and there's some side to side play that wasn't there before. How have they held for you? Do they bounce around when not on pavement?

I love them; they are solid and therefore on the heavy side (which to me is far better than flimsy.) The nylon screw tightened right up and I don’t believe there’s any movement since the installation, at least that I am aware of. Since putting them on, I drove from Northern California to Moab, did Shafer Road in Canyonland and have put maybe 3000 miles on the Jeep since I installed them.. UPDATE: I forgot to mention another reason I like Rugged Ridge products: The installation instructions they provide are very helpful, far better than so many of the YouTube videos which are poorly shot, not detailed enough, or don't let me focus on the challenging parts of any installations. (Of course, there is nothing challenging about installing headlight and tail light protectors, but I always appreciate printed instructions.)

I got the tail light guards also. Basically for the look no issue installing and lights work fine

Installed Rock Hard 4X4 lower control arm skids front and rear.

pro tip. Rock the front wheel if the control arm won’t align properly with the frame bracket holes. It was a PITA before learning that technique here on the forums.

190ft-lbs is not fun to apply in such a limited space. If you didn’t torque these bolts with a properly rated torque wrench you probably left them too loose.

I have a Next Venture FDS and front diff covering on order and it looks like I'll need to cut down the front driver's side LCA skid quite a bit to fit that system.

I may be in the minority but my favorite thing to do with lights mounted in that location is to angle them outwards so that they barely overlap with the front headlights to provide a 150-180degree across light zone. For me, the outward pointed lights really help in trail identification, location, and selection after dark.

The model numbers would be very helpful if you gotta sec...

Sorry about the delay, had some crazy family stuff going on.

Anyway it’s the infinity ref-3032cfx

That's definitely a good endorsement of them holding up!

Well been neglecting the JL lately between work and family. But gave her some love yesterday and today.

Washed her, removed the air dam, fluid filmed the underside and decorated

I like how they look with the blue and black. Good sign for another blue jeep owner...

I too am enjoying adding black accents to my Willys (and hopefully body color accents to where there's a lot of black). Can't tell if I should be appreciative for everyone's answers here cause every time I ask something I end up buying more stuff lol
