What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[homebrwd]

Sweet looking rig, love the mods. I have the same wheels coming. What did you do with the center cap for the backup camera? You just cut the center out of the cap? How did you cut it? Is there much obstruction from the tire when using the backup camera?

Steve

The smaller centercap should just pop out.

Parked mine at the airport for a week while on work travel.. or aka coating all flat surfaces with bird and airplane droppings

Flipped my rear bump stops, added the tailgate reinforcement and moved my CB antenna from the make shift location to the proper mount. Bump stop flip is for the 37's.

What antenna mount did you use on the tailgate bracket???

The Mopar tailgate reinforcement bracket comes with a place to mount an antenna. Just needed a half inch longer bolt.

Thanks and yes i cut it but i did it in the shop that i got everything installed. I can see whats necessary with the opening but sacrificing the wider view. If you need to see everything around you then i dont recommend. I sacrificed that for the esthetics. Thanks again

I love the look of the Armory wheels but that -18 offset is just to much for my taste. I wish Black Rhino had more variations.

You are right, i would go with -12 if they had one but in the other hand it gives the rig such an aggresive stance, is really eye catching. If you stand in front of it looks like a monster truck in a sense.

The tire cover matches Ocean Blue perfectly and camera is not effected.

That's sweet, my friend!

The wife ordered (and then installed!) these black inserts. https://www.ebay.com/itm/9pc-Front-Grill-Inserts-Headlight-Bezels-For-2018-Jeep-Wrangler-JL-JLU-New/392067690883?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649


I promised her I'd post a picture of her Durango R/T since she did all the work, lol.

Mounted my 37" Nitto Trails on stock suspension and 1.75" Spidertrax spacers while I get the Fox shocks for my RK 2.5" lift. No rubbing for a daily, but I'm sure it will if you try to flex it. Also, the 37" spare fit on the tire carrier by airing it down a bit and moving the 3rd brake light up one screw hole!

Like your side rails/steps. Brand?

Still stuck in JB status, so I'm just planning ahead. My first mod will be ditching the Red dash (having it painted Sting Gray), then installing Katzkin Red/Black leather. Might order a decal for the grab bar. Has anyone tried this yet? It's on ebay for $15.

Do you have the direct link on eBay for the grab bar decal? I searched for it, but couldn't find it.

Type in Wrangler Decal Red. It was the 2nd or 3rd posting.

Yep. I have the Reinforcement bracket also and saw that the normal antenna stud mount wasn’t long enough. Where did u get the longer bolt or stud from. ? Thanks

Got my Quadratec HardRock wheels and 37" KO2's mounted and installed. Very happy that I can reused my OEM lugs, OEM locking lugs and even the little plastic that surrounds the camera again. I got these tires for a few good reasons:

1.) I like how they look
2.) They're LIGHT. OEMish weight of 26-28bs. (my Black Rhinos were 41lbs)
3.) They have the perfect amount of size and offset (17x8.5 +12mm) and stick out about ONE inch outside of the fenders.
4.) They don't rub at all
5.) They're cheap. $800 shipped for all 5

BTW: Anyone with 37's ever get told that the tires couldn't be "balanced to zero?" They guy said that a few of the wheels needed almost 300g of weights, which he couldn't do. He said I might get some vibration but that was to be expected with 37's. I dunno how true that is, but I don't feel any vibrations. I have read that the KO2s could be difficult to balance tho.
