What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[mikej]

Finally had enough time over the holiday break to get the LoD destroyer bumper and tire carrier installed. I didn't have much trouble with anything during the install, just took my time. Fit and finish is top notch, and everything arrived in foam-packed boxes so there was no shipping damage either.

The only thing I could not figure out was how to get the connectors off of the camera extension cable so I could use the provided cable sheath. It just felt like they were going to break and I had no way to re-crimp that coax, so I used some split wire loom instead. Didn't turn out bad at all, though I suppose it would have looked cleaner with the braided sheath that was narrower. But that's hidden most of the time, so whatever!

I have the trail rack and rotopax mounts as well, but will probably keep them off except for when I need them. I really love how modular and heavy duty this thing is!

Thanks @lodoffroad ! This is my second LoD rear bumper (had one on my 05 TJ). The old TJ carrier was very well-built, but they have come a long way since then.

Looks good. Question for you: I see the holes for the backup sensors, do you have them? Do they have ghosts?

Outstanding!

I have their Destroyer bumpers on my Jeep, front and rear, and I'm very happy with them.

The rear bumper comes with plastic plugs for those like myself whose Jeeps aren't equipped with backup sensors.

Looks completely like a Rubicon. Where did you bought the high fenders?

You wouldn't know it wasnt a rubicon unless you looked inside at the console . I got them from moparonlineparts.com

Are this the ones from Amazon?
I was hesitating to buy some like this or the Mopars. How is the quality?

Yes - it's the Seven Sparta ones from here - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DK73QCW/

From what I can tell, they're pretty much identical to the Mopar ones except the obvious logo difference. Seems like good quality plastic, 3M tape is sticking well. Don't know how well they'll actually protect the sill, but just as well as the Mopar ones would I guess.

I do not have the sensors. The holes are covered with plastic caps.

Small red functional accents (cell phone holders for back seat, sport bar flash light, and 1st aid kit) and 67 Designs dash mount.

Where did you get the cell phone holders for the backseat. I think my kids would enjoy that

Took delivery of the new SRC Side Armor steps!!

After a quick work event this evening, these bad boys are going on!!

Were you able to get them installed?

Also, I assume you're not getting them Rhino Coated before install?

The axles on a non rubicon are narrower making the wheels & tires tucked under the fenders more (no stance). I never understood why people spend money to make their cars (Jeeps) look like stock versions of that car/Jeep. To me if you’re going to start buying stuff “personalize” it don’t make it look stock. But to each his/her own and if they’re happy that’s all that matters.

Its probably more cost effective because you can purchase cheaper take-off parts from people that are personalizing their Jeep.

Yesterday actually, but...

Where did you get the sticker made to match the factory style?

Added an onboard air system to air up and air down all 4 tires at once.

I love it so far. Mounts under the passenger seat. It's hard tell it's even there which will be great for the summer with the doors off. Easy to use, storage bag for the airhoses hangs from my back headrest so it's out of the way but easily accessible. All in all I think this will be one of my favorite upgrades.

I spent 90+ days driving on the beach last year so being able to do all four tires at once will be awesome. In addition, I'm frequently coming off the beach in the dark and I had a couple sketchy things happen last year so being able to air back up in a well lit public place or at my campsite , instead of at a dark deserted airhose will make me feel much safer.

Mojito Rubicon just went KZ Status - hopefully will arrive this month at the dealer for me! ​

 

[RavenJeep]

Added my Molle bags. Everything is organized, looks great! Very happy and thanks to this forum for providing the links to them.

Finished watching them install my lift and new tires/wheels. I gave them a few pointers, I’m sure they would’ve been lost without assistance. (Sarcasm)
