Finally got mine on yesterday too. I had to create my own backing plate because it only came with two bolts and 4 nuts instead of the backer and 2 nuts that some kits have. Be warned any who try this install. As pretty much everyone who has completed it can attest, its hella hard to do, and the difficulty level is also influenced by which of the 3 positions you choose to use. I used the middle setting, which was perfect ergonomically whilst driving (I'm 5'9") but perhaps the hardest position to install because the footrest bracket sort of blocks one of the nuts you need to tighten. I tried a number of different tools in my attempts, including sockets, extensions, and swivels, but what eventually worked best for me was a just a straight up 12pt box wrench. Worth the pain? Yes, but prepare to suffer...
Yes I think its the "extremely cool jeep wives" thread. (I don't think there is one of those but there should be)Wife installed a Mopar satin grill for me is there a thread for this
I'm from CO too and registering my JL is like watching an aftermarket part I want getting pushed aside for years to come...
I ordered this bracket because it is the best solution I have seen to date. it is a good sturdy bracket but unfortunately it does not work on my 2019 JLUS. apparently the area around the bolt for the grab handle (behind the center panel trim piece) is different between the Sahara and other trims.Installed a Topsy JL Universal CB mic mount. I was a bit nervous popping off the instrument panel on my new Jeep but it came off pretty easy and the whole install was about 20 minutes.
Night time test. Super impressedMade a bracket and mounted my camp light
Where did you get your steps under sliders?Put my a little decal on my turbo...
What was the issue? Did the metal shape not conform? The bolt on my Sport S was held in place by some small plastic tabs that I needed to break off to remove the bolt and install my bracket.
