What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[B417]

Since I got my sticker this morning (Sting gray Sahara), figured I'd start the spending now. Spiderweb sunshade, Mopar fuel filler, Mopar door sills, and screen protector ordered.

Had grab handles in the basket but can't decide on what I want exactly.

DIY door and hardtop cart is next on the short list

You can return that fuel door for a refund for more mods since they are now included from the factory on Sahara’s...mine was. Hope you love your SG Sahara as much as I do!

Used some simple rubber coated bike hooks and pool noodles to hold my doors

Absolutely! They fit perfectly in the precut slots. The only thing extra you have to do is remove the wiring harness from the old bumper, plug back in the fog lights on the new bumper and just take the excess wiring and zip tie it up so it doesn’t hang. Pretty easy.

Is it the stock skid plat below the bumper?

On it. Thanks!

Nice! I did the same thing, but I used the FastRack system to hang mine.... same concept though.

Question - the actual door removal and installation process is "easy", but daunting in terms of scratching or chipping paint. I've done it once already, and want to do it again, but hesitant.

Any tips?

I’ve taken the doors off and put back on about 6 times now...don’t really have any tips or tricks except to make sure the doors are all the way open before you remove the hinge bolt and have the windows rolled down for ease of lifting. Other than that, just take it slow and easy (an extra person to help guide the pins back in helps too).

Just received my EVO MFG 3.5in front and rear plush springs, my EVO MFG raised rear trackbar bracket, and my Rough Country front adjustable trackbar. Will get installed Monday. Right now I have the EVO MFG 2.5in spacer kit with front lower control arms, drop brackets, and shock extensions. The photos of my truck is the 2.5in for those who want to see how the 2.5in spacer lift looks. Next will be steering stabilizer and shocks. Any input on King Shocks vs Falcon Shocks and steering stabilizers? This isn't a rock crawler so I'm looking for maximum on road comfort.

^ very nice. I like that setup. I might have to do something like this in the future. Mine will also "not" be a rock/mud crawler regularly, but maybe on a select few occasions. Would it be fair to state that a set up like this (tires, wheels, lift, spacer, etc.) would set me back ~ $5k?

Yeah and depending on your lift, tire, rim selection, you could be alot cheaper. Mine was about $5500 for tires, rims, lift and installation of everything. With $5k, you should easily be able to get what you are looking for.

Installed ace rock sliders

I tried to order those a couple of weeks ago and had my order canceled with a message that they had been discontinued.

Ace no longer sells through 4WD.com or Quadratec. I had to order mine directly through Ace.

Im not sure if it makes a difference but I had to call in my order.

Directly to ace. Also mention this forum and you get a discount.

Tinted the front to match the back

And installed the rear seat recline for a JK. Did anyone else have problems with the smaller square spacers getting the new bolt threaded properly?
