What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Texan42]

Ceramic tint is a tint film that has ceramic particles in it. It has shown to be incredible at deflecting heat. Air 80 is a ceramic film that still allows 80% light transmission. It is typically used on the windshield, as it still allows most of the light through staying relatively safe, while still blocking the heat. Unfortunately it is not exactly legal, but most people will not be able to even notice the tint.

legal in Texas.

I got him aligned today after the spring install.

Caster 5.5
toe-in 0.2
tire pressure 34psi

My 2019 JL w/3.5 lift and 37’s needed 5.9 caster and tire pressure at 27. About ⅛
‘Toe in and it now steers like a dream. Yes I installed adjustable control arms and track bars

If your steering wanders adjust the caster to as close to 6 as possible

Not trying to nit pick, but your attachment shows that you are wrong. Air 80 is a tint, and it states that it can't go below the AS1 line or 5 inches from the top of the windshield. I really wish I was wrong, because I want to do it too. And just might do it anyway.

I noticed a slight increase in acceleration and i got a little better gas mileage, maybe 1-2 gal diff. Its not going to get me invited to the next Fast and Furious movie, but for what i paid for it I'm pretty happy. Oh, it also made the engine sound a little manlier and i think my wife is attracted to me again because of it.

Seriously though, it did give it a little growl on acceleration which is a nice bonus.

I think the top 6 things you can do are, in no particular order:
1. Verify Caster, I read you swapped out the LCAs, but have you verified current caster? Maybe you didn’t get enough Caster when replaced the LCAs, for example.
2. Check and lower air pressure, dealerships are known to put way too much air, which causes wondering due to incorrect tread and pavement contact.
3. Trackbar, and verify axle is centered over frame/body
4. Steering stabilizer, upgrade to better one than stock, or verify if your stock one was replaceable via the TSB, where some of the stock ones have issues.
5. Verify torque on lower ball joints
6. Verify Toe-in alignment

Thanks. I don’t want to say too much on this thread, but to answer your helpful questions...

I put the Mopar LCAs that aren’t adjustable, but give an extra degree of caster. That will put me at around 5.7. I wish I put adjustable on, but wanted to try an inexpensive fix. Yeah.

I’m running at 34 psi on stock Rubi tires. I had the dealer fix toe to .25 total.

Now I’m considering upgrading more parts. The things I’ve done so far have improved it and it’s ok around town. But my husband doesn’t like driving it and road trips will have to wait. He had the JKUR in my avatar, so he knows what it should drive like.

Thanks for your feedback.

I’ve been crazy busy with life but finally got to install my Pixel Decal vent decal. Hopefully more mods come soon, and then finally exploring.

They are the tinted LED tail lights. I had the factory LED package and replaced them with the below

apparently laws have changed, Air80 not considered a " tint" or sunscreen, more so a UV blocker. Several local shops stated it is legal and my last jeep passed inspections with no problems, even after they tested the film's . Either way, I would still have done it, makes a huge difference. Take care, brother.

I still have the factory suspension so it isn't adjustable
