What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[DanW]

Question @DanW: How low do you let the oil life monitor get before changing the oil? I assume you don't go down to 0%.

This time, with 3200 miles on the oil, it was at 55%. My next change will be in October, for a Moab trip. I'll let that one go all the way to somewhere between 5% and 1%. I'm guessing that will be anywhere between 6500 and 9,000 miles. It will be interesting to see what it does.

I took a sample of this last oil run and sent it in today for an analysis at Blackstone. It was Mobil 1 EP 0w20, with about 3200 miles on it. It will still have elevated wear metals and silicone from break-in, but should look better than the factory fill. I'll post it up when I get it back, which will be in a week or so.

I installed the Mopar hitch and wiring harness; then bought a hitch basket for the cooler.

Does this interfere with the camera system at all?

Been a busy morning. Mowed the yard and just finished washing the Jeep. Right now I’m sitting in the porch swing, drinking a cold beer, and waiting for the FedEx truck to drop off the TopLift Pro. Then, I’ll assemble that, take the top off of the Jeep, install the JTops Shade, and go for a ride. The cold beer and the eventual ride means this is still my day off, right?

Edit: Truck showed up right after posting.

Time for that ride!!

I bought this one that had really good reviews amongst fellow keepers from Harbor Fteight. I think quadratec sells a very similar one for a similar price, probably the same manufacturer. Here’s the link

Yes it does. With the cooler on I can see a little bit over the top but for gr most part it blocks the camera. The basket itself interferes with the Park Sense backup sensors as well. So I turn that off while it’s attached. My last Jeep didn’t have either of those features so it’s not a big adjustment for me.

New shoes. Got a hell of a deal on a set they had in stock and wanted to unload.

@NorCalSahara

You know you can purchase a "High-Lo hitch" that will drop that down 2" and up 6".
Might help cmera wise

Here is one example. There are other's around that are less expensive.

Amazon.com has a slew of them. Can be had for as little as $50 for a very decent one. Get one with more then one reflector on the back.

How long did it take you to assemble the lift?

Was this added to existing 3rd brake light or this replaced it? I’ve always liked the looks of these!

I replaced the 3rd brake light all together. I had a look through my state laws and came to the conclusion it meets the law. But I did keep the factory light, just in case though. I really like the way they look, just need to get my spare relocation bracket and I'll be all set.

My Plasti-Dip came today so I took care of the silver trim, emblems, and keyholes.

 

[EJ3CTA]

Removed the Wrangler Unlimited decals, too.

Halos are always on for mine

Thanks! Can you post a pic facing the Jeep with lights on? Can you also take a pic against a wall with and without brights on?
