Removed some parts, cut off some others... Just another day in the life of a Wrangler owner

What are you replacing it with? EVO stuff?

Had to spend a few $ today ... My 6" drop hitch I used with my '14 2dr. Sahara did not meet my needs in regard to the taller 2dr. JL Rubi.

I opted to buy a decent adjustable drop hitch so I can easily get the needed 8" or up to 10". The one I bought is US made and really nice.

Does that style of drop hitch affect the towing tongue weight or anything else?

It's a long arm kit, but not EVO's... I don't want to give out too much information until it's fully done, but it is a version of ROAM Offroads long arm kit that I am testing.

Hung my doors as well, now need a good option for the painted freedom tops.

I like that setup. Got a link to what you used to hang them?

Wingman, just ordered these thanks to you. After the Off-road pages not being on the 8.4" display, finding out the gap guards only came with leather was my next biggest disappointment. Was this a pretty straight forward install/come with decent instructions?

Glad to help. It was another forum member that helped me get the part numbers. This community really is amazing. It came with no instructions, but it’s pretty straight forward. You’ll need a deep socket 18mm if I remember right, and preferably a half inch socket wrench, although 3/8” would probably work. Remove the rear two outboard nuts that hold the seat down, and the rear center bolt that holds the seat down. Install bracket and retorque the nuts and bolt. Gap cover snaps into the bracket. Took me about 15 mins once I went out and bought a deep socket set. Lol

Well, a steel non-adjustable 6" or 8" drop hitch with single ball weighs in at 12 lbs. This aluminum adjustable drop hitch (will drop 10") with dual ball weighs in a 18# .

The weight of the drop hitch you use, is included in the GVWR, which is the total combined weight of the vehicle, including all passengers, fuel, fluids and cargo. ...

Tongue weight is the amount of downward force applied to the hitch by the traile's tongue.

My small, open trailer is aluminum and all I carry on the trailer is my 700# Harley FatBoy.
My GVWR and Tongue weight are well below the 2dr. JL. maximum weight allowances.

I want my trailer tongue level and tongue weight correct, when the JL is loaded and attached to the loaded trailer... thus my need of a proper hitch drop.

My Harley is loaded stationary on the trailer, always in the same place, held by a motorcycle front wheel chock.

My load in the trailer is always the proper 60%/40% distribution.

There is trailer towing and safe trailer towing. I tow safely or I won't tow..

37’s cooper SST pro on stock wheels, NOT lifted yet. RK 2.5 kit on the way.

I will add the plastic rubbed on speed bumps and 4” test curb on the rear plastic stuff. Took a heat gun to it prior to pic.

Mopar tire reenforcement and relocation kit, plus ace rails going on hopefully tonight!

Added the “1941” Hood Decal and 17” Method Roosts with Rubi takeoffs thanks to @texasbryan I’m fixing to put them to good use!

Looks great. How was installing the hood decal? Hard to line up?
