What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Killed by Death]

... from a horny zombie T-REX

I was being serious, that's why I said "Numb Nutts"
Some morons can't read, or in the dark might just see a blue stripe and decal.
Something the OP might not have considered.
That is why most cops don't roll with obvious tells that they are the police.

Genesis Dual battery system, with two group 25 batteries. Works great. Quadratec skids, I like that you can buy each piece separate and add on. Fits perfect and was an easy install with no help. Very slick surface. Comes with new cross members, which are very well built. I didn’t measure, but I’d say I didn’t loose any or much clearance. In an industry that mostly sends no directions, this instruction manual was nice, but overkill.
This should be plenty of protection FOR ME. ymmv

More details on the xmembers? Jeep REALLY phoned it in here, I think they were hoping no prospective buyer would ever peek under the JL

Installed factory gap hider and the seat-back mats to cover the kid restraint holes for the dogs.

I've got the rear cargo mat if anyone wants to buy make an offer and PM me. Shipping may slaughter the deal though based upon dimensions

 

[WhiteGold]

Thanks for the pics! Your post cost me $1600.

That's what friends are for!!! What size tires you running?

 

[Bri_BKT]

Washed it...

Put the Sunrider from Bestop on...

Put on ROAM Rock Rails...

Added a stubby antenna...

And put on my USAF Squadron decal (3rd Special Operations, the Dragons) on the right, and a Tolkien decal on the left....

But really just an excuse to take a bunch of pictures.....

....and within minutes of install The Trash Panda was sleeping on the gap hider, so apparently he approves

Aim High, brother! Nice looking rig

Thank you very much both. It’s starting to look like 4wheelparts for most folks. I’m hoping they’ll be educated enough to tell me what size to get if I don’t want to lift my Sahara (for now). Hopefully they’ll know about offsets etc. I don’t want it to stick out too far.

Am thinking a ~33” tire, at 275 18’s. What you think?

I wouldnt ask 4WP for advice. They are there to sell. Had one guy tell me i needed spacers AND new wheels on my Rubicon.

Trust the forums. Lots of good info here. I came knowing NOTHING about Jeep/4x4 and i had never modded a car outside of the audio.

I get a lot of compliments on my build everywhere i go. And ive done everything myself.

Check my post on here when i picked the wheels, its -6 offset/4.75 backspace....itll give you an idea of how much the tires stick out.

 

[PapaJoe]

Here was 2: with 35" and 5.71 backspace (see what the bumper and winch weight does to the stock springs)

Here is the current config Rancho 3.5" shock and spring lift (plus 3/4" spacer front to compensate for front weight). This is with 4.7" backspace

As you can see it is a balancing act if you bumper and tire carrier mod.I am still adding rear bumper and tire carrier (not that I need to) that will settle my back down 1/2-1/2"

Wow, the bumper/winch REALLY drag the nose down!!
Do you have pics from front and back to see how far out the tires stick from the fenders? I want mine to poke out a bit, but not too far. What are the backspacing and offset of the wheels too?

Here are the 5.71 backspace side view

Here is the current 4.7" backspace

The Perspective is the the 5.71 backspace vs 4.7" back space is 1" so that is the difference

So the tires stick out more in with the 4.7 backspace? Which makes sense as I think about it a little more... Thanks for the comparison!

here is another view with the 4.7 backspace (-12 offset) Note I had to use extra wide mud flaps however they block 95% of the throwing. So even thought they stick out about 2" I like the look as well the mud flaps do a great job.

Unless the reads are very wet I get no throw on the doors even then is minimal, rear fender gets a little more still no more than a stock Wrangler. I had my wrangler wrapped in 3M paint protection film today so frankly not worried about tire splash... Without the mud flap I could not keep the side clean.

Where did you purchase the gap filler?

 

[LLRubylady]

Looks great, what steps are those?

What offset are your wheels?
