Are you drinking beer with a straw?

It's not beer..

Let it rest in the garage all day. I think this is the first day or one of the first days I didn’t drive the Jeep at least once leaving the house. Wheeling trip in four days!

I bought this a while back but never seem to get around to installing it. Didn't come with instructions and I couldn't find any online. Any tips I should know about?

Should have been simple, however, there are 2 hidden T20 screws underneath attaching the cup holder to the console. You have to remove the 10mm bolts located under the plastic covers toward the back to lift the console up to gain access to the T20 bolts underneath.

Here are the pics that came with the holder - they left out the knuckle-cutting screws underneath

No excuse justifies what we all have seen. I don't internet police, I do it in real life to protect others who can't protect themselves from people like you who don't get it.

So much SJW fail in you my son. You may not want to point the finger at one that you have no knowledge of. In terms you may understand shove it up your Bingy Hole. :cwl:

So sad how fast the SJW pull the high card with no facts.

These are from about a month ago after I got it. Have recent mods I've done as well but need to get some pics to post. I also had a ceramic coating done. The pics of after are the ones in the parking lot.

My side steps were delivered this morning while at work. I'm no mechanic but I figured out how to get them on the Jeep tonight and it looks great!

I know you've said it before, but what do you use on the plastic fenders? I will write it down this time. Thanks!

Meguiar's Mirror Bright Vinyl & Rubber Treatment

I used it on all plastic fenders, on my hardtop...had to use a step ladder to get the entire hardtop; also on my metal rims. This stuff is amazing on any steel bumpers that you might have as well. That "ashy-dusty" look is non-existent after you apply it. It's also veryyy concentrated and not much buffing is necessary. Essentially you spray it on, rub it in (don't need much elbow grease) and you do not have to wipe off the excess; you can if you'd like though.

You can also use it inside the vehicle...on your dash...any plastics, any vinyls. For my rear plastic bumper, I sprayed it on and let it sit for like 20 seconds before I rubbed it in. The reason being, that bumper is textured, it is not a smooth surface like my front steel bumper. So, I let the product work its way in between the crevices/texture, then i rubbed it in with a terry cloth towel. If you accidentally get it on your windows (also on your paint), just make sure you use another clean terry cloth to wipe it off, no harm done. This process was the easiest out of all the detailing.

FYI can be found at Autozone, O'Reilly Auto parts, and I'm sure other local auto parts places. I'm running a bit low on it and will be purchasing more.

Is this just the tailgate reinforcement or did you also have to add a relocation bracket? Heart of the question is, what do I need to order here? Likely going with a 33.5 tire on 17's.

All you need is the tailgate reinforcement kit. https://www.amazon.com/Mopar-822153...pID=41J0TVLZieL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch The relocation kit is needed only for 37 or bigger tires to lift them up and out from the stock bumper. If you are going to a wider wheel which you should, you will need to lengthen the rubber bump stops easily done by adding a short piece of 1 1/4 PVC pipe with a rubber chair foot on the end. https://www.amazon.com/SoftTouch-4440895N-Non-Marking-Scratches-Anti-Skid/dp/B000PB0ZPO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1539687162&sr=8-1&keywords=rubber+chair+leg+caps+1+1/4+inch

I would say it's not worth the month for 33s... it's like $700 for the 2 pieces though. You can find them on Quadratec. The 3rd piece is the brake light relocation setup with the little mopar grill. It looks nice and gets your 3rd brake light out of the rear windshield area.

It is only $484 on Amazon, and is only recommended for weights over 85LBS. My stock Rubi wheels and tires were72lbs and the new ones 92lbs. As for the CHMSL I did not need to raise it at all. I know there are reports you don't need the reinforcement kit for 35,s but that's your choice. I fell better having it.
