What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Ctaylor1432]

Had 35’s put on stock 17” rims and no lift. Tire shop said spare wouldn’t fit the mount. So after I got home, I discovered it was the third brake light. I adjusted the brake light up but found the tire was still pushing it into the wiper arm. So I said the hell with it! Third brake light deleted! I know, some will say unsafe and others will say illegal. But strangely enough, they don’t rub on the bumper at all.

New shoes today!

What are those? Beautiful Jeep! Bikini looks great on that; I saw it on a Sahara in the showroom and thought it was not that hot; but your Rubi has changed my mind!

Installed the Mopar tire reinforcement and relocation parts last week. Raised the 3rd brake light and packed in the rims. Getting ready for 35’s tomorrow!

I have the same tires. Love them. So far they have been great!

It's the second Jeep I've had them on. They are my favorites for sure!

Thanks! I do love it! It's sitting on Pro Comp 73 Series Trilogy wheels with Toyo Open Country AT2 35x12.5r17 tires

Be interested to know how your 35’s and the third brake light get along. Even with my brake light extended up, the tire pushed against it.

Mounted my Method 312s and Milestar Patagonia 315’s

Love it. What are the specs/offset/etc. on those Method wheels?

First mods with my new 2019 JLUR:
1. Screen protector for 8.4 Uconnect
2. Mopar sill guards
3. 14" black antenna
4. Molle pouches on front seats
4. ROAM rock rails

Rails are frame mount. Easy to do. 98% one-person job. Fitment is great. Did it under my carport and halfway through a thunderstorm rolled through. Not the best idea lying in puddles while bolting on steel rock rail lightning rods

Can you please provide information regarding your item #3)? I like the simplicity. I have the normal 13" shorty like a million of us on this forum have. But I am not impressed with the reception - I lost a lot of my FM channels (I let the XM expire and have not renewed it).

I plasti-dipped my OEM antenna because I wanted it black (after I used a stubby for awhile and wanted my reception back). No noticeable loss of signal.

I think that's a good idea... but the JL owner I quoted looks like he has a shorter antenna than OEM. So either he cut the OEM one, or that's an aftermarket shorter antenna. I believe it's the latter - thus I was hoping for more info on it.

It might be a backspace/ offset thing. I have 37/ 12.50/17 on factory carrier and doesn’t touch anything. My rims are -12 offset / 4.5 inch backspace. If you have a positive offset then the rim would sit farther toward the glass. This is just a theory, without seeing your rig I am only guessing . I took my brake light and extended it up so there’s only 2 bolts holding it instead of the 4. It’s barley high enough...lol. I’m saving up for the lod rear bumper with tire carrier.

Got bored and decided to paint the tow hooks.

Nothing fancy but yesterday i ordered a bike rack from Quadratec...it arrived today so i put it on! Happy to not have to shove my bike in the back, but not sure ill leave the rack on for the rest of summer or just put it on as needed as it blocks the rear camera.

Get one of the cool LED ones that goes behind the spare tire. I got one for $50 and they installed it for me.

I'll share a pic of its name from Amazon. I think I bought it for $19 though. All my favorite HD FM stations seem to work fine.

I've also rattle canned my OEM ones in the past with Rustoleum black satin or black gloss.
