What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[AggieJeepGuy]

Today I finally got to drive on the highway at highway speed. And I have to say the difference from my 07 JKUR is huge. The hood, it didn’t move at all! I didn’t have my foot on the floor to keep up with 75 mph traffic. The doors didn’t leak in the rain. I also dug a bit into the Nav options. One interesting thing I noticed is there was a ‘total trip’ or something to that effect buried in the info screens. I Know my jeep arrived with 3 miles and I picked it up with 13 miles. That total trip Nav screen showed almost 3500 miles? I know it was transported maybe 6 or 700 miles. Just can’t figure out how to account for the other 2700 or so miles. Like the owl who tried to figure out how many licks to get to the center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop, the world may never know!

Great build.. Looks amazing so far. Did you buy the grill or dip it?

Thanks. I bought the replacement grille in black primer.

Installed some neat accessories. Wife wanted a soft grab handle, needed mirrors per law, and the T-Rex was just for fun.

That Etsy sticker vendor may owe you a royalty ... went to order one and it said there were currently 20 people with that item in their cart

Shoot they even had Apple Pay. The fastest I’ve ever bought anything online. I went to my email confirmation and thought to myself “I really just bought a T-Rex sticker for my Jeep?”

Pics of the fridge?

The fridge is not mounted yet.
I’m going to build an aluminum cabinet with carbon fiber face that will lift up to be able to access the storage area.

I like the way you did that hi lift mount. Is the holes you drilled in the mount off center or in the middle of the mount. Or did you just drill out the holes already there. What size is the spare, 35 or 37?

The holes almost line up with the holes in the tailgate reinforcement. They just drilled them a little larger and used longer bolts.
The spare is a 35”

Mopar 2” lift,35 ridge grapplers and 17” method wheels.

Love this combo, what is the wheel specs, width and backspace. Great looking setup and plan to run a very similar setup on my Sahara.

Had the black trim around fenders painted to match body.

The antenna was a pretty easy install.

That looks great!
Color match looks good, but it’s hard to tell from the pictures - how is the finish match?
My wife would be interested in this for her Sahara.

Looks like you hade the trim on the LED rear lights done too. Have a picture of the back?
