What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

Yes that's correct. The 3.3s have adjustable settings. I hope to our lift installed by the end of the month.

I'll be waiting for an update on the ST2.5" lift because that's what I'm thinking about for my JLUR. The 3.3 are the same shocks as the 3.1 except they are adjustable correct?

How is the build quality of the Mopar rails? Are you happy with them? I'm contemplating them or a set of Yakima or Thule.

Sorry, just noticed your post. Great quality, I may be wrong but I believe Thule makes them for mopar?

In the 2 door there is very little room behind the rear seat. It is a good feature with the tumble seat if you do need to have some one back there once in a while but more room if you remove it. Be careful taking it out because it is heavy.
I don't know if anyone besides a small kid that can squeeze in between the front seat and the body. If I need room for more than myself and someone else I will use my JKU.

Thanks! Maybe he will see the beauty of more space.

According to the company, they are. It's on there "JL" page:

I'd say I'll let you know when I get mine, but I'll be waiting a lot longer on my 2-door than the grab handles unfortunately. Seems like they'll work on any 3 inch diam roll bar.

BTW-check out the color customization option. I got red to go with the Rubi dash/interior.

Yes for the front only. I purchased 4 and the ones in the back don't fit right

Good mod!
That is different than the Litebrite one. I wonder what they used?

Does your 3.8 smoke bad too??

I'd guess 50 to 60 pounds. It's awkward pulling it out because of how big it is in the space and trying to reach in and pull it out. If you are small enough and limber you could crawl in there and wrestle it to the rear door. I put it in the Christmas tree bag and don't plan on wrestling it back in.

What is involved to remove the seats and how long did it take you? Is it simple, but awkward due to size and space constraints? I'm wondering how much of a PITA it would be to swap them now and then to fit our needs. And yes, I'd get the often mentioned "christmas tree bag" from Amazon to store them.

I'm guessing you could convince him of the "benefits" of more space. Lol

Very easy, no tools, did it in two minutes. Fold it to up. Then from behind there are two bars on the bottom. Squeeze the bars together to unlock, then slide seat off two hooks and it is loose. Then maneuver it out of the back of the Jeep.

To remove the rear seat from a 2 dr. JL, all you do is pull up on a horizontal release lever under the seat that you have folded forward. Pull the lever up and yank the seat back toward you and it releases from the retaining paws.

You carefully slide it back toward you, maneuvering the seat in a fashion where it does not hit the side plastics.

Remember, the seat has lots of metal on the bottom of it and that metal will marr / dig into, any plastic it comes in contact with. When you slide it out of the JL, be sure to place a protective cargo pad or be very careful to lift up on the seat as it will come in contact with the rear bumper and could damage / marr it.

The seat weight about 65-70# and is a tad awkward. By myself, I can get it out in say 3 mins. but going back in takes say 7 minutes.

Remember, the seat is pricey to repair or replace so be sure you store the removed seat properly. Place in a bag..... careful you do not place where mice, rats and such will get to it.

This bag works great for the 2 dr. JL. Many here on the forum use it:

Will the seat stay folded up on its own or is some sort of strap needed? Thanks for the detailed info!!!!
