I don't know, so I'll ask:
What makes it possible for a 2" lift, for example, to depart from its stated specification so much? IOW, how would that lift kit provide in excess of three actual inches of increased ride height? Is there that much settling that must occur to get things back down to 2" or so? Just curious.

From what I know. Lift kits are basing their lift height on a Rubicon. Rubicon’s are about 1.5 inches higher suspension wise. So the kits result in a higher lift on Sports etc.

I like the 1Up rack. I have a single one myself that I'll transfer to the Wrangler I've ordered.

Thanks Matt

Spent a little more time today (in the 100 degree weather ?) swapping over front OEM steel bumper. Figured while I had the bumper off it gave me a little more room to get my Fox ATS SS installed.

More pics ?

Was going to say if you need help lmk. Looks great!
You selling the 2018 JLU?

I redid my measurements for the rear cargo space and rear seats.

i refuse to pay $1700 for goose gear plywood. So I’ve got a sheet and a half of 1/2” birch and a master carpenter uncle’s brain to pick lol.

Cleaned up the wiring in the back for my arb compressor and a couple power points. Then installed the AAL MASS platform floor. I’m installing the fridge slide tomorrow or next weekend.

Appreciate the offer. Thanks for kind words.
I will be selling the 2018, just not right away. Going to let family member use for a while, they are in need of a vehicle.

Installed LoD Destroyer rear bumper & tire carrier.

bumper/carrier itself was straightforward. Bigger PITA was all the wiring to relocate the license plate light, 3rd brake light, and camera to the center of the tire. Still need to wire up the Rigid reverse floods

Nothing picture worthy yet but after getting over the ‘Rona, I tested my physical endurance a little. Broke down my two rear half doors to get them ready for paint.

Body shop is giving me a great price if I break them down being bringing them in.

when All is said and done I’ll be in for approximately the factory order price. Which isn’t that bad considering I have to get them painted.

That JLU has the perfect stance. Details on its lift, if you don't mind? TIA.

Thanks @Heimkehr, it’s nothing special. Stock Sahara springs, 1.5 inch Teraflex spacer/leveling kit, Mopar LCA’s and some Fox shocks. Suits my needs without breaking the bank ?

Removed the bike carriers and shovel from the Rhino Rack in anticipation for our iKamper Skycamp 3.0 next week!

Completed my annual hand wash, detailed inside and outside.

 

[Sargeoverland]

Got it all installed just need to route the wires to the front shocks and then the battery and she’s set. Need an alignment for sure. Even with the measurements from metal cloak it’s still not perfect.

I don't have my JL yet, it will be delivered any day now, but to prepare I swapped out my brother in laws smittybilt off his TJ he's selling for a cheaper Xbull. I want the smittybilt for the JL. I did swap the fairleads and the synthetic lines tho. I liked the colors better from the xbull.

I built my DIY 4 way inflation/deflation system.

Left it connected to all tires for 30 min and zero air leaks with no change in air pressure (didn't have a snoop bottle). I was able to make it the way I wanted, the lengths I wanted with the parts and features I wanted at considerable savings ($130) compared to purchasing from the pros.

This looks great. Do you have a build thread or parts list?

Thank you!

No I don’t. However the biggest suggestion I can say is use 1/4” flexzilla hose 50’ will get you about 5’ extra for a 4 door. Don’t use 3/8” hose, the bulk is way more when rolling up for storage and cost more. It isn’t going to improve inflation times to be of value.

I ordered a 2.5”, 2” and 1.85” gage to compare sizes for the manifold I used. I kept the 2” but people might like the 2.5” for easier reading or want a digital.

I choose the expensive Haltec H-5265 standard bore lock on closed system air chuck at $12 each. But you can get 4 ARB style air chucks for about $18 for the set that also work. I just didn’t want the ARB style levers to complicate storage or get hung up on the soft flexzilla during storage. Just make sure they are close not open type. Open will leak air from other wheels when one gets disconnected.
