What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Trauma PA]

Ordered my Katzkin from Jeep today. Now i'm just wondering if i'll get a loaner vehicle while they do the install. $1,140 installed with Rubicon Logo.

Very sharp! I like it. I like it a lot!
Be sure to post pics post install.

We've had 4 different car seats and the link below is our favorite due to offering alot of flexibility. Bear in mind, kids are generally thought to be safer rear facing and it's now recommended until they're 2 years old or 35 lbs. However, we turned our 3 kids around at about 18 months and most of our friends as well.

Perfect, thank you! What do you think about the license plate mount? I was also wantung to put that into the wheel mount, ratherv than the JK mount. The noon centered plate mount just kills me.

I like the license plate mount where the JKs were at personally.

We really like the Diono Radian RXT seat. It has a solid metal frame inside and works for little ones all the way up to booster. My daughter is almost 6 a still in it. They also have a longer "expiry" date than most. The initial reason is because they are the narrowest child seats available (to squeeze 3 kids in the back seat.)

Freedom Panel - Custom padded carrying / holding envelope...

For those with 2 d. JL's that have your rear seats removed, I have to tell you about my custom padded Freedom Panel holders.
Of course 4 dr. owner's can appreciate / do this also.

Yes, I know Jeep gives you that clunky Freedom Panel Bag, but I wanted a little something to protect that isn't so clunky, looking.. I wanted something that would blend into the back of the JL also.

In the Summer, I spend a lot of time driving my Wrangler with just the driver's side Freedom Panel off. I'm by myself, so just the one panel off suits me, and that one panel can be put back on in a second should it start to rain.

So, I lay the Freedom panel in the back of JL since I have the rear seat removed. I lay black side facing up. I then place a bunchie cord over the Freedom Panel from one rear, metal seat floor grab to the the other on the other side. This secures the Freedom Panel so it does not move around and so it cannot become a projectile in the event of an accident, etc..

ANYWAY... I wanted something, a padded pocket of sorts, to protect my Freedom Panel.. A padded pocket, that I could quickly, slip the panel in and out of, that was quite protective, light weight, soft and that was easy to deal with. I wanted this padded pocket to match the interior rug and interior plastic in the back so it would blend it decently and not look like friggin cargo back there.

I also wanted this protective pocket to lay flat in the back when not in use as a pocket for the Freedom Panel. I would also use it when no Freedom Panel was in it, to protect the rug, to protect and pad, if I was moving anything with the Wrangler. They had to look decent, also..

SO, I went to Harbor Freight and purchased, two, 40" x 72" black, moving blankets. They are padded blankets and very light weight. Thick enough to protect but also thin enough that the neighbor lady could tackle them with her home sewing machine.

These padded pockets are also thin enough to let sound flow through when they lie on my Alpine speaker, that resides in the rear floor cubby or my 2 dr.

Long story short, I folded each moving blanket length wise and had the neighbor lady sew up, both sides of each moving blanket. She actually double sewed each side. Took her about 15 minutes or less to do this. After she was done, I had two light weight black, padded envelopes to use with my 2 Freedom Panels.

Sure, I probably will use the Jeep panel bag if I have both panels off but for my day to day with one panel off the padded pocket is great!

Price of the 40" x 72" black, light weight, pad at Harbor Freight is $4.99 each.


My light weight pads / pockets have a medium grey lining.. They look great and will do the intended job well well for me...

Thanks!! Build is coming together!
Lift is Mopar 2”
Wheels are Fuel 22x12
Tires are Nitto Ridge Grappler 37”

I have a JLUS. Can I install 37’s or is it best to stick to 35’s?

 

[Harley0704]

With the 2” lift, my 37s are really close. I, personally, would not suggest 37s without the lift. I’ve seen others do it on here, but just my opinion. Also think it depends which tire/wheel combo you ultimately go with. Lots of different variables. Also, from purely a looks perspective...the lift with 37s really sets it off. I waited to get what I wanted and am REALLY happy with how it is coming together. Good luck!
