What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[BUSHRVN]

I have these on class A motorhome and they are amazing! No vibrations and cooler running tires.

How much of the disks is shown through rims? Could you take a picture of what they look like? I may get some for my jeep also.

I bought a set for my Ram 3500 dually and sprayed them flat black because they were very visible through the holes. Unfortunately both of my 19.5” tires on the front were so bad they had to be replaced, obviously the centramatics couldn’t compensate. I left the fronts off for the summer because the new tires were running smooth. But while on holidays this summer one of the rear ones started flinging oil in the wheel well. Now all four are just another pile in the garage?.

Bill, here are some pictures. You will definitely need spacers to clear the front brake calipers.

Looks great! How did your install go? My Destroyers just were just delivered yesterday for my 2 door. Hoping to get them on next week. Any issues getting them installed? Did you need to cut the skid plate down? Did you need to loosen the body bolts to get the mounts over the washer? I see a lot of install experiences of these from 4 door owners, but not much for 2 doors.

You don’t touch the body bolts. You can angle the sliders enough to slip them on. Yes you have to notch the skid on the passenger side. If you lie on your back, you can put the slider on you and lift up to get the body mount bolts started and then the front. Took me 1-1.5 hours and that’s with me trying to find a cord for my grinder and casually doing it.

undo the transfer case skid bolts on both sides and the two little bolts where it bolts into the 48v suitcase skid. Then you can just slide it out of the way and then back again. If you just undo the transfer case skid bolt on the passenger frame rails there isn’t enough clearance to get it over the body mount and slide mount under it.

The drivers side seems far more secure, I didn’t drill holes. It has a lag bolt through the frame on the front that secures the upper front mount. Plus a flange nut.

The passenger front mount side doesn’t, it’s just one bolt. You’re supposed to drill the frame and use a flange nut for it. I was unable to. The frame hole in front passenger side on my rig is blocked off in the frame rail and doesn’t allow enough room to clearance the flange nut. So I may have to drill a hole through the whole frame rail and do a lag bolt like is on the drivers side.
The passenger will flex a small bit. The drivers is solid.

With the temps down and humidity gone, I detailed her with a NexGen ceramic refresh.
I coated the entire exterior, wheels, under hood, all door jambs, and interior glass.

Installed this Chinese offering. Company in China reached out to me a couple of weeks ago.... said they would give me one for $0.00. They wanted me to install / to try... just asked me to give them my thoughts on the offering and it's price point.

Install was easy. Involved removal of 4 screws, placement of the offering and use the 4 stock screws to install.

The offering is pretty slick for what it is. Made of ABS Material. Fit and finish is decent. Blends right in. I'm not sure I would pay $35+- for it but...

Anyway, give me a week or so and I will report back on the forum regarding this offering.

IF you want to buy one and test drive one yourself, they are available on Amazon...Sold by 3 sellers.
Also can be purchased on EBay.

One-Touch Hidden, Center Storage Console Box for Jeep Wrangler JL....

Well, I installed this One-Touch Hidden, Center Storage Console Box, 11 days ago and as I mentioned in my past post, I would comment on the hidden box once I had used it for a few days..

Well, I have to say this well made/quality ABS plastic box is easy easy to install and fits perfectly under the console lid. Looks like it's part of the factory console.

Disclaimer: I did get mine free..... Honestly can say, it is real nice, and well worth the $28-29, if you want/need a little under console hidden storage box.

Sure is real handy when you need a place to stash, your wallet, gas cards, vehicle registration and insurance card, etc.. I like it!!

For sure, if you can purchase on Amazon for $28-29 it is well worth having. It's pretty slick I must say!! Buy here.

Below are some pics of my install. You will see in first pic the little 3D, JL grill I fastened to the front of the box to personalize it a bit.. The JL grill also hides the tell tale push here to open circular depression.

Thanks for this! Exactly the insight I was looking for!

Got a killer deal on some 37” KO2’s about 6 weeks ago and finally got them mounted. Also finally had time to install Teraflex 1.5 spacer lift and the Mopar longer LCA’s. Love the way it looks and drives with the 37”.

After 60K miles, it's time to replace the ATZP3s. I plan on getting offroad more starting this fall, so decided to switch back to MT tires. The Maxxis that are on my wife's Jeep have performed and are wearing impressively well, so...

Ol' Brown delivered! Mounting scheduled for next week!

How much actual weight did they use to balance that tire ? Am I looking at 3 stacks on top of each other in the 4-5 o'clock area ?

What percentage of the volume of the factory upper compartment does it fill?

Installed the Mopar brake controller today. It was fairly easy install overall. A little tight getting the module up in the footwell. Getting the lighter socket out gave a little fight too. I have a MORE dead pedal installed and that blocked one of the install holes. I had to remove the dead pedal and drill a hole in it to receive the bolt for the brake module. I have the tow package so the harness plug was already there. This was just plug and play. I really like the look vs the 12v plug. It will be more useful to me also vs the 12v socket which I do not use.

Dead Pedal bracket with extra bolt for the module which is above.

I'm unclear exactly what you are asking... I have a coin holder that is 1 3/4" tall and a pair of eyeglasses in a case in the upper console compartment and the console lid still closes aok.

I just ordered the one @Rhinebeck01 linked on Amazon. Not sure how to calculate the percentage of volume but here are the outside dimensions they give. Hope this helps.

Do it

Do it! Best mod I have done. Want more pics? I should get a commission. Ha ha!

@dragoneggs Your build is where I’m headed. I’ve seen complaints about Clayton sagging in the rear, any issues? Their 1.5” kit seems like the best lift on the market to hit that perfect stance with 35s.

If you open your center console lid and take a piece of cardboard and tape it in place where the yellow line is in the pic below, you can then close the console lid and see if it clears what crap you presently have in the upper compartment.

As I mentioned I have a coin holder that is 1 3/4" in height and when the lid is closed it just clears that coin holder and the lid closes..

Note: There are a few vendors selling the exact same hidden box but have it listed under their company / seller name. The item is Made in China by one manufacturer apparently but sold by different vendors..

I linked to the Amazon vendor presently selling at the lowest price and shipping in short amt. of time.
