What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[GraniteRubiGA]

Finally some nice weather. Got the new Falcon 2.2 installed and I must say it is night and day. I never realized how loose my steering actually was. I also got the Zeon 10S installed. It was a job for one person, but I got it all don on the ground in 4 hours. I felt pretty good about that!

That is one STUPENDOUS looking winch and it really looks like it's HOME, nestled snug in that bumper-

Great job-

It was in the 60s today so I installed it and tried it out!

Yeah baby! growl.

Oh "in" the 60's today, not "the 60's today."

Behave, Michelle!!

(Michelle is well aware, knowing me, that this 100% humor, 0% lounge lizard. We're both happily married, know that about each other, and are bboard friends.)

Thank you! I really want some 35's, but need to install my JLUR fenders first.

Just the spacers for now just to fit a better wheel/tire setup. Im in FL so not much rock crawlin going on here,lol.

Sand crawling

Interesting - did you go with your own different routing? If not, did it all snap back together just how it was before?

I ended up running outside with a slack loop between the gate and door, and ran it back inside the door instead. I covered the wire with some braided shielding. I'll get a pic next time I have a chance.

Front/back, as in you could "feel" the weight of it all? Or it actually moves to and fro a bit while still secured?

Feel the weight: Opening and closing the gate/door assembly seems solid and heavy and secure. I don't fear it being an issue.

Front/Back: I think a more accurate term would be a wiggle. You figure it's only attached at two points on the fore side of the basket, over the top of the spare, so it's prone to wiggle just a touch.

Great review, thanks a ton for sharing, I've been eyeballing it since before it was available. What do you think of the bumper itself? Lights wire up easy?

I don't like the trailer hitch. It's an afterthought completely. The chain setup is hokey, and now the wiring harness sits even lower than stock. I'm going to move my harness INTO the bumper somehow.

The best way to make sure the new Sunrider didn't leak was to go through the car wash, right?

I absolutely LOVE this thing. My middle daughter hates the open air, and I can't get enough. This is the perfect quick and easy compromise for driving alone vs driving with her.

Winch installed this weekend. Warn 10-S with a Artec plate. Tight fit, but no issues. Even got my Punk-n decals installed.

Love the SPMM sticker!

Thank you. I am not going to lie. I bought a vinyl cutter solely so I could make him since nobody sold one :D

That looks fab-u-lous in 60-degree weather in Ohio in early December. And that Sta-Puft Marshmallow Man....just fantastic...…...

Thank you, I like the way it turned out. I really like the Rubi red powder coated fairlead. I have a flat factory 55 link but had to get to Church.

I wanted to protect my back side of the LED fog lights since I remove the steel bumper extensions.

I posted this question in the General Post: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...el-bumpers-after-taking-off-extensions.19136/

See attached photo for the problem then what I did to fix it.

See my attached pdf for complete details and photos.

Total time was an hour for fab, 1 for two trips to Lowes one for wife.

Today I installed my Rugged Ridge winch, Rusty's winch plate & Cascadia flip up license plate bracket

Outstanding! Everything looks great, too! I'm currently waiting for the same Falcon steering stabilizer to arrive for my Jeep. I'm hoping it helps for those white-knuckle moments on the Interstate when strong crosswinds are blowing!
