What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[MTKMAN]

Which wheels are those? Do they color match to your Sting Gray or are they closer to Crystal Granite?

They are the “Onyx Black” color. They match the graphic “Jeep” logo in the side almost perfectly. He’s a better picture so you can see the contrast.

Aha! Thanks— looks awesome!

And yet you own a Jeep JL, a product itself that is barely over a year old. There is no way for ANY product to be much more than a year old. So, you bought a vehicle that isn’t proven reliable, and you can’t upgrade ANYTHING on it because nothing is proven reliable at only a year old, and you chose this. And you participate on this forum, criticize things that are all new to all of us, and are scared to jump in. You are a walking contradiction. Jump in, or don’t, whatever. Meanwhile, I’ve had these lights for 8 months and I am enjoying them, they are very well made, they participate in this forum, Dynamics Diode vouched for them, my Jeep guy knows these guys, they are based in Colorado, if they made crap products they wouldn’t be in business.

Look I was simply commenting on your statement about Quake being reliable. You are damn skippy had the Wrangler been around only 1 year I would not have purchased however the JL is only a generational upgrade using much of the same engineering it has for years they are not building wranglers out of a small shop (a little bigger than a garage). All these LED lights for the most part are 1st generation so there is not even any previous generation data available. By no means am I saying they make bad products but there are millions of businesses that deliver poor service or products that survive.

The Quake measly 1 year warranty speaks volumes as they clearly have little confidence in their LED products.

Diode Dynamics is one of the better LED companies however you will however pay dearly for their products, now they have a 3 year warranty with up to 8-year limited warranty which is great however that warranty is also reflected in the price so there is an extended warranty built in the price whether you like it or not. Their warranty speaks volumes though.

Not to nitpick, but how do you like the fit? I've thought about getting these, from your pics it looks like they aren't angled well to follow the curves of the indentations on the hood and fender flares.

Is this better? Here's mine. There is plenty adjustment to put them where you like. Just don't use a 600lb Gorilla to install them. In other words, don't overtighten.

They fit fine, you can adjust them up and down slightly. They are angled fine in person. They are made of metal and fit better than stock plastic hood latches. Install took 20 minutes for both sides.

Really thinking about getting those wheel in GunBlack. Any issues with getting the rear view camera to poke through??

Really nice wheels I had to extend the camera mount:

Threw on a Rubicon suspension(shocks & springs) on top of the already installed RC 2.5 inch spacer lift. It's a little more than 3 inches all together now. First time doing this, took me about 5 hrs with a floorjack and a pair of jackstands.Took her up to the mountains after all was done and rides great! Love the height.

Shopping for new wheels and tires now. Probably going with Pro Comp D window steelies and will pair with 35" K02s again, exept this time in a load range C. The 285/75 load range E are good, but pretty stiff. Hoping the Cs will be a little softer.

Finished getting the rear Metalcloak control arms installed, rear falcon shocks, Teraflex rear trackbar relocation bracket, removed rear muffler, added rear sway bar blocks, installed tires, spooled up winch and made sure it works good. Wireless feature is cool. I don't like how Metalcloak leaves the front brake line bracket just hanging. They say to zip tie it. The Teraflex rear trackbar relocation bracket causes the Metalcloak trackbar to be a little shorter than it would have been if it was angled down more. I shortened the trackbar as much as I could but I still have 2-3/4" on one side and 3-1/8" on the other. I'm going to call Metalcloak tomorrow and ask if I can leave the trackbar locking nut off which would give me more room to shorten trackbar. I don't see what it would hurt. Also it looks like front axle could be moved forward another inch. Maybe halfway done....

Washed and took the top off.

Why are you using the relocation bracket with the Mc trackbar? The point of a relo bracket usually is to allow the use of the factory trackbar. I’d pull off the bracket and use the Mc trackbar by itself. Do not remove the jam nut. You don’t want any slack

I just cleaned the interior and installed my Mopar mats.

Applied the @pixeldecals Rubi hood blackout. The install was straightforward and relatively easy. Removing the hood heat shield and washers was well worth the clean, from factory look.

I LOVE how it looks! However, it made the hood glare much worse, not better. I really didn’t notice a glare before but now it’s blinding. I don’t think this is a problem with Pixel Decal’s product, just the nature of vinyl. Do other brands glare? Also, it’s already picking up dust but I a coat of wax will fix that.

More glare? Really? I was looking at getting this to reduce the sun glare from the hood.
Looks awesome!
