What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Cornfed]

Good to know. Thanks

In his videos he seems like a cool guy but if you ever get on that forum and read he’s sounds like an arrogant dick and he really pushes certain products and shits all over anything that he doesn’t use.

I Have been really thinking to get one, how was the install. Also with the camera any problems on that end.

The install is a bit of a pain. This thread might help you out.

No real issues with the camera. It's a good bit higher up and bit further back so the guidelines are not as accurate as they were.

Added driver side rear quarter JP stripe:

That looks beautiful, can you add a link to your quarter JP stripe

Took the rest of my Dirty Life DT-1 simuated rings off, wow. I would caution people who are considering these, you might not be lucky as some of the others here. (these have never been removed prior to this)

SR-M diffuse mounted.

Edit. Was an SRQ, I just ordered the SRQ PRO SPECTER driving diffuse to replace this one.

Check them out, I talked to Quadratec yesterday about price and ETA of the Hutchinsons and mentioned the story of these wheels. He said he recently had the same story from another person that just got done returning theirs.

I dunno. I've exchanged a few PM's with him and he was very nice and very helpful.

It is really hard to judge people from afar. I've been wrong enough times that I'm getting more hesitant to do that as I get older. Besides, my wife says I can sometimes be an asshole, too, so maybe he just has his moments.

If I don't like an internet expert, I just move on.

I finally bought a shop crane on sale, put that together, bought and put together a freedom jack and took her top off!!

Recently installed a Tazer Mini, front facing camera, and CoolTech flat tow wiring harness.

It’s not hi-def, but I definitely recommend a forward facing camera for off-roading. The hood is massive!

Are those wheels new? That hole looks like someone used stainless steel bolts and didn’t use any grease or anti seize on them. Sorry you’re having to deal with that shit. If they’re new, I would imagine dirty life would step up.

I saw the light and swapped out the track bar for the Steer Smarts Yeti XD. Simple & easy, but if you have the Fox ATS stabilizer (I do), you may have to remove it to get the track bar on (I did). You'd also have to make sure you position the adjuster tube bolts where they don't interfere with the stabilizer bracket. Overall, after measuring the length between the bushings, I had to set & tighten the adjuster tube clamps, set the bar, reinstall the stabilizer, & then tighten everything up. Well worth the effort.

I was amazed at the difference in heft, weight, and appearance.

I also mounted the @ROCK HARD 4X4 rear LCA skids. Solid, beefy, & weighty. I couldn't get the dang driver-side front LCA bolt off. I raised it up high enough to get leverage & tried everything in the arsenal...breaker bar...hammer, frog legs, eye of newt, witch hazel...I didn't bother with the passenger-side. Those m'effers are hold-on-for-dear-life-tight. They're on so tight, I noticed there are cracks on both sides of the bolts on each arm. Maybe even over-torqued. The rear bolts were tight, but didn't give me anywhere near this trouble. After over 2 hours, I gave up. Try again next weekend...suggestions & prayers are welcome.

Yea and I’m definitely not trying to pass any judgement I’ve never spoken to the man and his tutorial videos are great but just reading through that forum makes me feel very grateful for all of you guys a lot more positivity and helpfulness over here.
