What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Brmbll007]

Hey. So with the XRC Gen 2 rear bumper, there is a steel plate in the driver corner with some threaded bolts on it. If you get the lod bracket and remove the two upper left bolts of the steel plate, you can line the lod bracket up into the threaded back of the xrc bumper and thread that bolt you just removed into the lod bracket. You may have to grind the lod bracket in the corner to make room for the other xrc bumper bolt you removed. I removed just enough for the second bolt to just clear the lod bracket and then put a washer and nit to hold it to the lod bracket. The lod bracket fits so tight that there’s no way it’s going to wiggle or rattle off the xrc bumper. Then attach the bumper to the frame and the lod plate will snug right up to the body of the Jeep. If that one bolt wasn’t lined up just right on the lod bracket it would hav been a pain to fabricate a bracket to that angle to make it work.

Awesome thank you. Also, if you want the plugs for the rear back up sensors. Contact smitty built. They will send them out to you. I had the same issue. They weren't included in the box.

Thats what I’m guessing HAHA

I was afraid of that too, so I put it here. Not that anyone else is going to be doing my oil changes now that freebies are done. Also it’s for me , since I have same engine in my ram work truck which takes 6 quarts.Why did they do this......

Nice! Always hated that big silver boat anchor hanging off the back end. Ended up getting rid of that muffler all together (now has the first Borla Climber exhaust in the Touring version for the 2.0T )

May I ask who's license relocation bracket/light you are using? Looks better than most of the lights....

They also assume they give a shit which is a further stretch.

That came with the M1 bumper from @motorcityaftermarket . The bracket is solid steel, very strong (as is the bumper). Simply 2 bolts attach it to the bumper. Don't know if they'd sell it separate.

I like the light profile on it.... that is the interesting part. I have the LOD Destroyer on the rear and the LED bolt lights sort of are cheesy at best....

This is a stick on LED light... I had my doubts at first but it's been great. It came with the bumper so I gave it a shot. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. $7.00 on Amazon.

Regeared to 4.88s (3.6L auto), had RCV front shafts and RCV outer seals installed and had Artec front lower control arm skids installed.

Apparently I had an abnormal amount of sand and dirt in my axle tubes. The diff fluid was also very gritty. Not sure if this is a common issue with these new D44s, but I will check my diff fluid more frequently after offroad trips. My JL has 6K miles on it.

Installed the EVO JL hinged carrier after I started getting some creaks and rattles from the stock one.

I don't know if I got one that has a manufacturing defect, but I'll be damned if I couldn't get it to not warp the right side of my gate out, leaving a huge gap. I adjusted the hinges, bolts, and moved the gate around and half-dozen times, and just could not get anything to align properly. I ended up adding quarter-inch thick washers between the gate and the spacers it comes with and it made everything align nicely. It opens and closes smoothly, too.

That spare tire needs to be turned to the left so BFGoodrigh is centered on the top!

Berdoo trail off the back side of Joshua tree

I did it on Friday!

nice, I had done it a few years ago, it felt easier this time than in the past, wasn’t sure if it was just because I have a more capable vehicle and more experience now, or if the trail and smoother out a bit.. it’s a fun little canyon run and coming in the backside of Joshua tree is pretty
