What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[mikej]

Looks great! I unpacked mine yesterday just to make sure they were Ok and had all the hardware, but I didn't have a chance to install them yet. How did your install go? Any tips or points of wisdom? Seems like an easy bolt on install with a couple of optional holes to drill.

Thanks! The one thing I really did wrong was get the passenger side partially mounted only to then realize I needed to unbolt two skid bolts. One point of wisdom would be to make sure you remove the passenger side skid plate bolts (an impact wrench came in handy on these) that you will reuse before you fit the slider over the body bolt washers. Second point of wisdom is to suppress the thought to loosen the main body bolts. I struggled a bit to get the slider mounts over the big body bolt washers, but it was a matter of getting the slider level and lifting up from there.

I'll be curious to hear if you're able to get the rear threaded driver side bottom-side frame bolt screwed in (the one that is in the frame and already tapped for a screw bolt, not the one to drill). This one didn't work for me no matter how much force I put on my 3/8" ratchet. It went in a bit, but eventually it just stopped.

Installed the 2019 dome light in my 2018. Much better lighting when the doors are opened.

I did the same thing yesterday, much better!

Good advice. I’ll keep you posted on that bolt. Maybe I’ll try putting the bolts in without the slider just to make sure all the threads in the frame are clean first before actually mounting the slider. I’ll try to get to it this weekend depending on how cold it is.
Thanks!

Tinted the front windows today. Now they match all the rest. Also added some rear aux lights.

Witch rear aux lights are those? They look good!

Congratulations... Are you interested in just solid colors (black/silver), designs, etc.? If you want designs; i.e. flags, etc., Under The Sun has a good selection...I have a few of theirs.

Man, I am not a fan of under the grille inserts, but I must admit, the one one yours looks pretty fucking awesome.

Thank you... I see too much US flag... very popular and not a bad thing, but different is ok.

I purchased them from Amazon. I wasn't sure how bright they would be, but I was interested in the low profile appearance. After installing them, I'm quite happy with the wattage.

We actually own a small trailer rental business that caters to Jeeps. We currently own these 4 campers:
Prolite 16 ft Evasion- sleeps 5, full kitchen, wet bath weighs 1800lbs
Amerilite

Amerilite Gulfstream 19BH - sleeps 5 full kitchen, full bath weighs 2800lbs x2https://youtu.be/kZ0qlfrQnQwx2

Just added a RPod 178 sleeps 4 weighs 2800lbs

Probably take one of the Amerlites. I'd like to take the Prolite but it's able to be rented to more people because it weighs less.

Where are you located to rent these? Do you have website?

Looks great! Man...I'm having a horrible time deciding between 35s and 37s. 37s appear to be a the best look for the 4 doors but on the 2 doors 35s seem to be adequate. I know 35s will give the best street performance also. But then again....ARG!!!

Is that a Maximus 3 loop on the bumper?

Yes it is. It's the JL classic hoop.
