What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Roky]

@ChattVol has a good write up on it as well

Yeah.., I talk to Matt often, and I know he’s had his share of problems with them as well. He’s the one that gave me the idea to put on 90 degree grease zirks on my lower control arms. He’s good people.

Added 3.5” MC lift and Falcon 3.3 shocks. Love the new look!

 

[Roky]

I think they ride great. I have the RK RRD 2.25 shocks on. On road with the combo I think it's about 5-10% stiffer than stock which I actually like as I felt the stock suspension was too squishy. Off road I find it just awesome. I live in the desert and end up on way too many washboarded and heavily rutted roads, I haul ass through these and you barely know they are there. I've never hit the bump stops on the bottom end, and I've bombed through more than a few "oh shit there's a huge hole in the trail" situations. For the slow crawling stuff I've got no complaints at all either. The only complaint I've got at all with the kit is that I have too much articulation in the front end, i'm going to have to install limit straps as I have almost shot out a coil spring on a couple of occasions. I'll take that problem. Problem is that ride quality is very subjective, so where I may really like what I have others may not. Also keep in mind that i'm running their entire kit, their shocks, and rolling on Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's which are a D-load rated tire (I run them at 28 PSI cold because of the stiff sidewalls). I also air down to between 17 and 20 PSI when i'm offroad. So there's a ton of factors involved in how a set of springs will feel to different people. I will say that several people who offroad have made comments about how amazing my Jeep rides both on and off road FWIW. I have a bunch of mods planned which will add some weight and will probably go to 37's when I swap out my axles, I fully plan in buying their 3.5 springs to update my lift. So, all that being said I am 110% satisfied, but i'm not sure how much of it is specifically the springs themselves or the entire setup as a group.

Thanks for your input, I have rk everything on the rig now, control arms, track bars spring perches, that’s why I’m looking into their springs. My Mopar lift springs and fox shocks are great, the shocks are just to short, only 26-5/8”!extended, so I feel I’m not getting the full potential out of my rig. But the arms are amazingly flexible. Kinda feels like I have a race horse hitched to a plow, lol.

Looks great! How do they attach to the grab handles? And as someone inquired, how is the vibration?

So they mount with tube clamps that run through channels, and they come with protective rubber straps to keep the grab handles from being abraded. So far I have not noticed any vibration, I will keep everyone posted!

 

[PatientWrangler]

Looks good! Much vibration with these? especially compared to the hinge-mounted variety?

So far I have not noticed any problem with vibration, perhaps because it is rubber on plastic rather than metal on metal as is with the hinge mounted mirrors

Winch management system installed.

Can you share details of the bracket you used? Did you custom build or buy? Link? Thanks.

 

[TimothyFS]

Installed Hothead Headliners w/ the Sound Assassin strips underneath of them.

was there a noticeable change in sound dampening ???????????

 

[rubicon13]

Got new wheels and tires installed! Fuel vapor wheels 20x10 -18mm offset and 35x12.50 nitto ridge grappler tires. Everything fit stock on the 2019 JLU Rubicon, no rub around town.

The Mopar doors. I am really glad I waited for them.

Installed tube doors

Looks fantastic....I found them to be worth the wait.

 

[Buy Jeep and Repeat]

Mounted ATV mirrors to my grab handles for Doors Off Driving:

These are "ATV Tek UTVMIR1 UTV" Side Mirrors from Amazon. 39$ each.

This is pretty brilliant. Do they stay in place, even at highway speeds. Looks like the clasps are only meant for round tubes. Curious to see how well they stay in place, and do they make any sound? I have a pair that I mounted separately and they whistle at high speeds and the do not stay in place. Drives me insane so I am looking for a better solution.

 

[SilverBackJL]

I installed an aftermarket fuel door! Pretty easy to do! I love my jeep and everything about it, however I do feel that there are some parts of it that are really cheaply made or assembled.
I started making videos of the little things I do to my jeep just so I can look back on how far it's come some day. I'm by no means good at the YouTube thing but hey, it is what it is.


Sorry for the vertical video..

 

[From0toJ]

^ great idea. Luckily, my Sahara came with the cover already. But your video will be helpful to others who are looking to do this. Thanks for taking the time.
