What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[threeve]

Had been riding 2.5 inch lift with stock tires. Finally installed new tires, 285/75R17, C load super smooth and quiet.

Those tires look great. I've been debating these vs 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson ATZs, but since the Nittos come in load range C I think they'd fit my needs better. Great to hear they are working well for you!

This is a fun thread I’ve seen on a few other forums. Can be anything from mods to drives, to washes, etc. pictures are always a plus!

So what did you do to your Jeep today?

Did Line-X my doors, put new fender flares(not %fineshed though), put metalcloak skid plate system and rear axel skid...fun stuff...
Plan to go to Idaho for Jeep Jamboree event this week.

They're very close to a 33". We had it out for a drive last night, did a few circles in both directions with the wheel fully locked with no rubbing and drove over a few small bumps in the yard.The drive feels very close to stock.

Dude your engine is ridiculously clean lol

Inside and out...

Lol thank guys. Yes, my OCDness comes out sometimes, sorry. I hate dirty engine bats or maybe dirt in general. My past life as a detailer comes out! But yes, now my engine is clean inside too through that catch can!

Driving it around yesterday, maybe I’m getting placebo effect, but it seems to be driving around smoother, esp during accel.

Took off the dealer badge with my open box deal harbor freight heat gun and a plastic putty knife.

Amen! This is a must! When I ordered mine new, I told the dealer under no circumstances will there be any form of advertisement of their dealership on my vehicle. None whatsoever, or the purchase contract is void. Lol. I had that all in writing btw. For real.

Let us know what you think. I want to do the muffler delete, but my commute is lots of highway at 70mph and I'm worried about the drone.

I have it as well, and it is relatively loud. I am still on the fence as I kinda like the sound, but too loud for NorCal above 2400 rpm.

On highway - the drone starts above ~2250 rpm. I have 5.13 gears and 38 tires, and it does not drone at 70 mph as it's just below that rpm in eight gear.

I also have the Hauk cold air intake snorkel/ mushroom, which was also making an 'inhaling air' sound that I don't hear now.

This last week I decided to build a set of drawers for the rear cargo area. When I camp, I usually just use a set of plastic home depot totes. They worked for me, but I got tired of having to always remove the top two to get to camp gear or food. Or pull them all out if I had to reach the tool box. And since I signed up for the All4Fun Jeep event next month, living out the jeep for a week seemed like a hood reason to build a couple drawers. I didn't make any plans or base it off anyone specific set up. I just sort of played it by ear as I went.
I started off with a 3/4" plywood I had left over to make a base plate. This may stay in full time, but I haven't decided yet. Once the base plate was in, I measured up what I wanted to do for the drawers. Each drawer box is 28" long 15" wide and 10" tall. I wanted it to be easily removed and modular so each right and left box can be removed independent of the whole system. Each drawer box has 2 bolts on the outside that secure it to the base plate. I used eyebolts so I can use a bungee cord to secure my cooler and bags to the top. The rear of the boxes are secure with 2 thumb screws each. So with 4 bolts and about 5 minutes I can have both drawers removed. Pictures may be out of order because I'm uploading from my phone.

Wow - this is really nice.. you could have a side-business selling these..

Nice! Real axles have 8 lugs.

Honestly, I'm already thinking about selling these and going with a a 2.0 version. I have a few other features in mind that I'd like to add. I'll probably use these next month when I head to Colorado for a week and see how it goes, then decide after that.
