What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[uglyyeti]

Did you drill and tap or use heli coil, metal screws or anything else to attach bracket.

I drilled, painted the hole so it doesn't rust and installed stainless steel rivnuts.

Thanks! I got lucky and been blessed with the opportunity to build my dream garage, when we built.......

I'm slowly switching all lights to full LED strips/T8's.... but it costs wayyyyy too much. So I'm doing a few pieces at a time

Super impressive! Good for you!

For the T8s, I did a switch out at my church. They had the old in-ceiling fluorescents housing with 4xT8s each. They were HOT and UGLY.

Found some really bright LEDs to replace them all. All I had to do was cut out the ballast (please switch the breaker off lol) and do a direct wiring to just 1 side (the specific T8s I chose were powered on one side only) and BOOM! Super nice, bright white, cool LED lighting. Got them on Amazon, they WERENT expensive. Not dirt cheap but not pricey either.

Black Dog loves them - as soon as I bring them out she bolts over

Are they... doggles?

I did this to my Wrangler. Not a good idea. The rubber piece eventually get's hard, and then starts coming up. I eventually just removed them and deal with the small pieces of debris that gets stuck there...

That's funny and clever.

Trademark it!

I agree... expensive! But the secret is a little at a time, just like our Jeeps. If I bought ALL the mods, it'd be like 30k. Or more. LOL.

I'm following your other thread... because of you (and others), I just placed an order, literally 5 minutes ago, for the same doors. Thank you. But I hate you too, because you just made me spend even more money and my wife hates you too.

Lol, don't worry, my wife hates me too. Which is why I keep buying more!

Note, the instructions are really bad. They switched around the placement of the bolts. The shorter bolts are used for the upper hinges while the longer bolts are used for the lower hinges. It will make sense you when you attach the door stop straps. And they also don't tell you to attach the door stop straps to the lower hinge bolts for the front doors, while attaching the lower hinge bolts to the front doors. I got all the hinges together and placed the doors on the Jeep before realizing I needed to remove the lower hinge bolts off the front doors, just to get the door stop straps attached. Other than that, the installation was pretty easy.

I'm waaayyyy late... I also never knew they were a thing. And here I thought I was being funny.
Bummer.

I don’t have pics but today I spilled about 4 oz of dip spit (way more than it sounds) on my lap and seat while in a hurry trying to get to a meeting.

Normally I wouldn’t be too concerned about this (just very annoyed) but the weirdest thing happened. There must have been something in the spitter cup in addition to dip spit because towards the bottom of the stain there was a very wet blue ink spot. I started dabbing it up with a towel and sure as shit, it was like I had spilled half a pen’s worth of ink on my seat. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I didn’t have a blue pen anywhere near me, there was no blue stain on my ass, and I couldn’t remember putting anything into that cup besides spit.

I’ll take a picture of it tomorrow in the sunlight but all that’s left of it is my red stitching is stained blue near my left ass cheek. Oh well, first blemish on the Jeep is now under my belt... expected it to happen off-road but what can you do.

I CANNOT wait for the dip spit picture!

 

[Stormin’ Moorman]

Oh I thought pics were a thing, everyone else is doing it. Lol

And you can’t see the dip spit, I was referring to the weird blue ink stuff that I have no idea where it came from. It’s like I took a blue pen and emptied it on my seat. See:

Bit of a let down. I was expecting more carnage

I agree I removed it as well. I also noticed after I washed stuff would stay in the folds of rubber. Looked horrible even after washing it. Now I just my air hose or pressure washer to get stuff out. Works just fine without those silly rubber hoses.

Be careful the fixture Sockets (tombstones) used in T8 fluorecent fixtures are not rated for line voltage you need to replace those as well, it is a potential fire hazard.

Thank you. Yes, I've been studying your and someone else's EAG Door thread. I will add your advice above, to my pile. I might ping you if I run into issues.
