What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[IPvFletch]

I was set on the trigger till I read so many bad reviews. Can you change my mind? How's it working for you? How reliable has it been so far with the app and remote?

So far, so good. It works when it works. Sometimes it won't re-connect quickly when I return to the Jeep, but I noticed if I kill the app, and restart it, it connects instantly. There is one other bug, which is, it is not storing the customized/renamed channels for the 4-channel device. I contacted Trigger and their Engineering team quickly responded and said it's a known issue and being fixed in the next app update.
Having the extra wireless remote is a really nice benefit, too. The wires all had heavy-duty waterproof connectors and the price was right so I can't complain!

Was the ACE rail installation fairly easy?

Loosen 3 bolts/side. Give them a good yank down to pull them free. I used a 5 gal bucket to put the rail on while I screwed the rail to the frame. Torque wrench to cinch them down and done. Repeat on the other side. Took maybe 15-20 min a side with breaks for beer.

Spent the whole weekend in the garage (one of the times I'm glad I'm single!)

Here's the weekend install list:

Maximus-3 Tow Loops
Falcon EF 2.2
Warn Zeon 10-2
Factor 55 Prolink

Bro your steering damper seems took some good hits, may want to replace that anyway since it is an "AB".

Switched out wheels and tires on my 2018 Sahara for 35s today and thought I’d share thoughts and comments for others looking to do the same.

Put on 35/12.5R18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers and Fuel Vector 18” wheels.
- +1 offset on these wheels and puts the tire about 1.5” outside the fenders
- Low noise and no rubbing on full lock, mounting curbs (great test right?) or turning sharply into a 10 degree driveway off a 4% road.
- No lift and will run it this way for a while, well until I want to hit trails anyway
- Pressure at 36 is too high and I’ll drop down to 33 tomorrow
- Camera slightly vignettes but not causing any other issues (sensors etc)
- I’m running the original bumper and it’s easily cleared

Put a Rough Country Tire Relocation bracket
- easy and relatively inexpensive ($80)
- Lifts the mount 4-5” which is a little high. Might drill holes and drop it 2”
- Third brake light at the last stop fits and works fine
- Wire to that light rerouted but still a little taught and needs extending

Thoughts so far
- Runs quieter than expected and very happy with the tires
- Pressure at 36lbs is a little too high and will drop to 33 to smooth the ride more
- No rub at all on my stock suspension. Manages a 10 DEG driveway off a sloped road
- Will put a 2” Mopar lift on before hitting anything more than a dirt road though
- Have not put Mopar reinforcement on yet but will. Tailgate is pretty heavy
- The camera casing doesn’t fit with Discount Tire’s “long bolt” in the lower placement
- Need a short bolt in there
- The Vector wheels are as good as they looked online (after weeks of deliberation)

Summary : pretty happy with this so far, and now planning the 2” lift, a steel bumper on the front, winch and a roof rack to head out for weekends in the new year.

THANKS to @JGrand48219 @dthrea01 @JL_MX and @Wade Wilson for all their help on putting larger tires on

I get sensor issues on mine but I used the Mopar relocation kit, I’m assuming maybe the RC kit raises it higher than Mopar’s.

Added Fuel Anza wheels (17" +6 offset) and Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x12.5R17. Tires stick out about 2" past the fenders and look great....at least in my opinion haha. I didn't do any additional lift and don't plan on adding one in the future, I like the way she sits now.
Tires give a good ride and are quite. Tried them in a little snow and rain with no problem at all

Finally got some time yesterday to start doing some work. Put on Maximus-3 SLP grill guard, stealth plate mount, and light brackets. Then 10” light bar from Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K8K104W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). For anyone who wants to relocate plate, without a winch, and had factory mounts, the part number for a new filler plate is 68293980AA (got cheap from #allmoparparts, quick delivery!)

Running the wire for the light bar was the toughest part (other than the battery terminal bolt snapping, see other post lol). Pic with the light bar on isn't the best, but it's bright!

Made a bracket and Installed a 20" Rigid Industries Radiance light bar on my ROAM front bumper.

COOL as

 

[TrailTorque]

Finished up the install of the Mopar Auxiliary Switch Bank (thanks to @Rhinebeck01 (It was the ground; We jumped it to another post in the engine compartment and boom we had power!) and also installed the Rough Country 30” Hood Mounted light bar.

Also got in the Mopar Tailgate Table which I will be installing today after we go get our Christmas Tree!

@MORTON

Well, glad you got it going. Good talking to you this morning. You owe me a drink... 8-)

Consider a Tazer JL Mini to active that puppy rather then paying the dealer which is lost $.

ABSOLUTELY! Always welcome at my place here in St Augustine!

That will be my next purchase!

Care to share how much did you spend for this project? Looking to purchase the same. Thanks!

Where in Florida are you? I want to add the AUX switches, and would love some advice/help. LOL!!

That was on the list of things I did as well. This new Falcon EF 2.2 is amazing!

I live in St Augustine in World Golf Village.
I would certainly help you if you’re close enough by. Or at least talk you through the problem areas via FaceTime or speaker phone lol
