What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Sector281411]

Have done a few things. Got my T-Rex cut out and on the Jeep and I put on a stubby antenna.

Bought some Topsy brackets, not pictured that I will be stripping and powder coating TARDIS blue.

I installed the Red Rock Attack stubby front bumper. It wasn't a difficult job but extremely time consuming.

Positive: The JL pushpins are much easier to remove than their JK counterpart.

Negative: There are a ton of the pushpins and quite a few are in hidden locations.

The most time consuming portion was removing the fog lights and retrieving the wiring harness. To retrieve the harness you have to take apart multiple levels of the stock bumper, cut multiple pushpins, and fish it out of the canal.

The actual install of the pumper went smoothly. The holes and bolts actually aligned better than the stock bumper did. The stock bumper took quite a bit of finessing to get off.

Stock fog lights mounted up easily. The provided screws didn't fit to attach the additional light bracket, however the stock screws did so I used those.

Overall bumped my head a couple times, nailed myself in the stomach with a rogue torque wrench, and ended up with a stiff neck. The job is done, and for free, so it was worth it.

New wheels and tires!!!

What wheels are those? My hubby had the Mickey Thompson’, which look like yours, on his JK and they’re still one of my favorite wheels.

I was surprised to learn there was actually something you hadn't done. I take credit for passing along what I learned from here!

So I ordered some LoD signature black sliders/steps and read allot online about how great the product was but that is was pretty long wait on these. So you can imagine my delight and pera-grin when they arrvied within a few days from Northridge 4x4! I totally wasn't expecting it but I decided to install them last night, came out great and today I finished and drilled the extra whole through the frame for the passenger side reinforcement. I skipping drilling the back two bolts but figure it should be more than enough with all the other bolts in place, these things are solid!

Frame mounted sliders. NICE!

Yea, I wasn't sure about these but they really do look good and kinda retro.. Pretty inexpensive as I wasn't looking to buy nice wheels to get rashed..
They are Procomp Series 1069 17"x9" -6mm

A little late now, or perhaps not- but how do you enjoy the TF 2.5"? Do you wish you'd gotten Mopar 2" ?

Currently trying to decide between TF or Mopar 2" and minus cost and not voiding warranty I'm stuck



Which 2.5" lift did you go with? and how much did they charge you to install? (from MA myself)

I did much agonizing research between the two and decided to go with Terra Flex based on what I think is an incomplete Mopar kit and reading several complaints. It also did not help that out of 5 dealerships in my area non of them could answer questions I had and I did not feel like any of them really knew what they were doing.

I went with a local shop specializing in jeeps and lifted vehicles. They were extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I have no regrets on my selection. The Jeep rides great and I have no issues at all. The suspension is stiff and you will feel the bumps more but it also eliminated excessive body roll.
