What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[higbyz]

I get now why you guys were complaining about that one PITA screw. I was determined to switch mine for the clear ones this evening so I went outside and started pulling things apart, with the instructional videos by my side. Well, Diode Dynamics didn’t include the extra one-time-use pop rivots they say in their video they do, so I thought I would be able to make it happen without removing that one. All was going well and I was getting ready to pull the final few screws out, but then hubs came out to “help” me and wound up taking over. We realized later that pulling most of the bracket screws out was totally unnecessary and the only one that REALLY mattered was the one that’s damn near impossible to get to. Anyhow, in trying to get the new side marker screwed back in, my dearest husband also wound up breaking the round clip on the marker light bracket. I think it’s because he kept trying to jam the ratchet in place to reach the bolt since it’s in such an inconvenient spot. Oh well. Everything still went back together just fine but it got too dark to do the other side so that will happen tomorrow morning. I do love the way it looks for a (relatively) simple mod!

Sorry to get off topic here, but that is a great lookin Jeep !

Installed one artec inner fender.. just one and I'm about to pass out. Second one should be easier..
Apparently they sent me the female version, because mine came with no nuts!

Did you powder coat these? Considering picking up a set assuming I offload my falcons due to that pretty hole I had to cut open in my stock fenders.

Nice rig. Question, how would rear correction pads fix the passenger leaning?

Thanks.....Rock krawlers correction pads, the passenger side is 3/4” higher than the driver side.

I think the higher passenger rear RK pads are to compensate for the gas tank and use the same spring as driver side. As opposed to having 2 different rears, since RK does a bit less volume than let’s say jeep.

Yesir, that’s the way I understand it to be.

Read a few posts up now I know what you all were talking about.

Thank you! She’ll be getting new shoes eventually, but I need to take it easy on the wallet so for now it’s inexpensive cosmetic mods only. I ordered the stubby antenna, clear side markers, radio screen protector and a few other small things about two weeks before the Jeep arrived. I am over the moon in love with the color so I’m going to protect it as much as I can. It’s getting paint protection film on the grill, hood and windshield frame next week then I’ll probably DIY a high quality ceramic coating over the entire thing. I don’t love washing vehicles (it’s why my last Jeep and car were silver....that color hides grime like no other ) so I’m down for anything that will save me time and trouble when I have to. The big stuff will have to wait a bit.

Sucks weird bc mine came with the extra rivet and I never used them thankfully , what made a difference for me after a big learning curve on the first side was the plastic trim tool set I bought and not removing the entire light housing like it says , I was able to rig up an extension tool to undo that one bolt in the corner which made a huge difference and saved me an hour on the other side but was a huge PITA install that’s for sure and I also didn’t take off the entire inside plastic trim only about half of it ...

Oh yea and did some installs today too ... 1941 side step protectors interior , got a free set of carbon fiber mirror covers (on the fence about them) and rigged up my homemade hardtop hoist!! ...

Yep, I’m headed out shortly to do the drivers side, and the extension piece will be key. I do have the trim tool set already. It made popping the plastic fasteners out a breeze! I definitely won’t be unscrewing the whole light housing. No idea why they tell you to do that. I also have small hands so I only removed a small portion of the fender liner on the passenger side. No need to undo the entire thing.

I like your door sill guards and I think the mirror covers work with that color. A little flashy but not too over the top. I may get some eventually, but I’m thinking of doing white as my main accent color. Who makes yours?

Today I assembled and fitted the SpringTail folding tray and Mollle bags.

Assembly itself took about 15 minutes and another 15 to drill the holes and mount the tray on the tailgate.

It was a breeze to assemble and fit, and at the project I can confirm that I still have 10 fingers, and no blood was spilt.

I'm very happy with my new shelf, and look forward to using it in anger very soon.

At the same time I installed the Brawlee tailgate light

But I'm still undecided how I am going to connect the power, as I would prefer not to connect into the dome light.

In the end I might connect it into one of the aux switches up front.

I also hung my new Bartact grab handle bag.

You got to let me know how you like the ride on that lift... I've been eyeing the endurosport since it came out!

Spent a few days with the lift and stock Rubi tires and wheels with tire pressure around 32psi, it rides just a tad softer than stock, potholes, bumps are more sedated.

I had method mr701 and nitto ridge grapplers 35/12.5/17 installed yesterday and I'm still dialing it in in regards to tire pressure.

Ebay special I believe on the mirrors, yea im not sure if it works yet since everthing black is matte black and these are shiny carbon fiber but again im learning to love it, as I have the rear taillight side plastic covers coming as well in carbon fiber to match - I just need some 35s now and a small lift and ill be good to go -

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

I just installed a set this morning, I think they are great quality and an easy install.

 

[Tritonman]

Installed new rear DV8 RBJL-01 bumper and added gray GearAmerica mega duty d-rings, relocated license plate and added LED license plate light.

Wasn't really planning on going with DV8 for the rear bumper, but the price i got it at was too good to pass up. Regardless, i think it came out really nice amd looks good.

Spent hours trying to figure out where a clang was coming from when going over bumps.
The tips of my Magnaflow axle back muffler contact the underside of my 2019 Rubicon steel bumpers. The OEM rubber hangers are simply 1/4" too short. If I squeeze the hangers by hand, the tips sit perfectly 1/4" below the bumper...
No amount if wiggling or repositioning the pipe/clamp fixes it. I just emailed Magnaflow for their thoughts …..

Had my portable arb hard mounted. Removed it from the case and re mounted it to run switched power and be set up for my arb locker
