What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[MItwenty18JL]

Got the ARB air compressor installed this week and it finally warmed up enough to take the top off.

That's a BUNCH of work for the little details, BUT IT LOOKS GOOD! Good job!

Thanks man. A lot of work/detail indeed. Took my time to make sure I don’t scratch anything or worse, snap a clip.

Installed the compressor with the air up/down. Loving it.

After getting a fixit ticket I installed the mud flaps. I love that they have the quick release screws.

Then I installed rock lights. Jury is still out on those. I’m went for the cheep ones I might regret those.

My first tough Jeep mod and first real mod ever outside of audio upgrades

This beast was a pain!

Decided to do the winch install as well just havent hooked the lines up or spooled the rope.

I could have done the install myself if it werent for the mountings bolt plate that is only secured by those plastic square pieces to hold it in place until you put the nut on.

Tried meself but kept knocking the bolts out so had the neighbor hold it up as i guided each one in.

Next weekend....rear bumper!

How hard was the install? Looks great

Super easy. Unscrew four torx bolts on the stock bumper and thats it. 2 minute install.

I got the Jeep washed up today and was able to get some good pictures. I have recently installed Fishbone front and rear bumpers which meant I had to relocate my license plate, Ace Engineering license relication bracket was my answer for that, moved the camera to the mount, has an integrated third brake light and license plate light. I added the brake ring behind the spare tire, because I really like the looks of it, and it grabs your attention. Also, I got my JCR Offroad rock rails put on. I ordered the rails bare metal then had them coated, similar to Linex. The rails feel nice and sturdy, so we’ll see how they hold up.

What do you do for skid plate with that front bumper? I don't see any on their website. Thanks, looks great!

Out of curiosity, did you get the ticket for no mud guards because your Jeep was altered? I like the quick-release, but I think the ones for the rear flaps are too short. After I installed, I checked a few days later & one started to loosen a bit. Loctite solved it.

I installed the Fishbone JL mid width front bumper tonight with a hinged front license plate bracket, since Iowa requires a front plate. I don't have a winch to install yet, but the bumper looks good and it is solid.

where did u get the license plate bracket?

Very nice! My OCD has gotten the best of me, your fog lights are mounted upside down.

I have finally installed the last of major mods, Motobuilt spare tire carrier and Rock-Slide Engineering rear bumper...

I haven't done anything for a skid plate yet, I was contemplating trying to make something myself, just haven't. The bumper does come down low enough that may not even need anything, except the 2 vertical mounts the plastic air dam were bolted to kind of stick below the bumper like 1", maybe less so I'll want to do something.

where did u get the license plate bracket?

The license plate bracket was a 2 piece, both from amazon.

And all done...

Looks good! I think the black grill & lights should have been what we got instead of the silver.

Ah crap, didnt even notice

Does it matter? Does the light go a different angle or anything? I don't ever want to take that bumper off
