What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

+ @Rploaded

....and remarkably clean...spotless...immaculate front-to-rear. I couldn't say the same for mine.

What, pray tell... is your secret?

My teraflex 1.5 st1 with falcon shocks lift is being install now!! So excited to see it

 

[higbyz]

I think we are all pretty excited !

Not gonna lie...a little bullshit right now.

Installed the Mopar tailgate reinforcement and I cant open the tailgate all the way. Rubs against the rugged ridge taillight guards and pushes on the taillight.

Also, tailgate lines up beautifully but slams hard to shut it unless I lift on gate a little. I've readjusted the gate a few times to help but doesnt line up when closed.

Oh and my CB wire doesnt reach(fck my life)

For $850 and 3 hours of my time I expected more....boo(looks pretty cool though)

Something, but I'm not sure quite what, it definitely wrong there. I have the MOPAR tailgate reinforcement and the RR guards and there's no interference at all

Can you post a sound clip of that setup? I did the muffler delete with just the tailpipe but my wife didn't like the sound. I'd love to hear your setup.

I had the same situation. My wife likes the new setup. Initial startup is a bit loud, but after the engine warms up it is very quiet at idle - almost as quiet as stock, but with a different sound (deeper). I will try and make a sound clip and see if I can upload it.

I bought a smaller 20L cheap fridge for daily use because I don't need the size and capacity of my other fridge (Snomaster 35L) most of the time. This little thing holds plenty of drinks and snacks for most occasions. I was running the larger one all summer and thought this would be a more efficient setup. Having a fridge always full of cold drinks spoils you! These are 200 bucks on Amazon. Bangood.com has them for less, if you are ok with the potential pitfalls of ordering directly from China. At Amazon, you get free returns and direct support from the manufacturer, if needed. The first one had no refrigerant in it, so I was able to send it back and Amazon sent the new one immediately, even before the old one was returned. The 2nd one works as it should. These can also be controlled by a Bluetooth Android or IOS app, but I haven't been able to get it to work just yet. (Pixel 3XL).

I think I see M&M's. WAAAY more important than the drinks. (nice job hiding the beer)

Yep! I stashed those for Zombieland Double Tap last night! They are so good when ice cold! There were also a couple of Twix bars stuffed in there.

What could it possibly be??

There is no in/out adjustment on the reinforcement or guards?

When I go out at lunch, I'll take a look at mine and post pics

Have a build thread? Couple (sarcasm) of things I see that are interesting and want to ask about. For example, aluminum tie rod and d-link?

What SteadyC said. That looks very nice

What are you thinking about with the aluminum? Lots of folks have gone that route due to its superior impact properties vs steel. When it hits a rock, it tends to be a little more elastic or bendy if you well vs rigid like steel. Instead of breaking, it’ll just be bent and still get you off the trail.

Different options for different wheeling styles and terrains

That front axle looks like a Fusion Kingpin 60 so I am guessing the drag link and tie rod are from Fusion as well. I run the aluminum Fusion tie rod and drag link as well in my JK. As Brett mentioned, the ability for the tie rod to pop back into shape instead of being bent is awesome.

Well that sucks for me too! I've got the same tailgate reinforcement kit and just purchased the same Taillight guards but haven't installed them yet. Hopefully I can still return the guards but they look really good so it's disappointing. Thanks for saving me some frustration though!

I may grind off some of the tab that hits, it's not much that hits and then touch up with ARB powder coat touch up.

Anyone know what the reinforcement kit is made of? Steel? Aluminum?....doesnt feel heavy enough to be steel.

I’m thinking, who has them for the JL? what’s the price point? And where can I get them? What tie rod ends did he use? Looks like the d-link ends are steer smarts.

then I’m also thinking, what front bumper is that, looks cool, what lights, what axles, what tires, what skid plates, looks of good looking stuff.

and all I can see, is the undercarriage of the front. I wonder what other great things are done on this Jeep based on the great things I see of the underside front.
