What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[haiducool]

Let us know what you think. I want to do the muffler delete, but my commute is lots of highway at 70mph and I'm worried about the drone.

I have it as well, and it is relatively loud. I am still on the fence as I kinda like the sound, but too loud for NorCal above 2400 rpm.

On highway - the drone starts above ~2250 rpm. I have 5.13 gears and 38 tires, and it does not drone at 70 mph as it's just below that rpm in eight gear.

I also have the Hauk cold air intake snorkel/ mushroom, which was also making an 'inhaling air' sound that I don't hear now.

This last week I decided to build a set of drawers for the rear cargo area. When I camp, I usually just use a set of plastic home depot totes. They worked for me, but I got tired of having to always remove the top two to get to camp gear or food. Or pull them all out if I had to reach the tool box. And since I signed up for the All4Fun Jeep event next month, living out the jeep for a week seemed like a hood reason to build a couple drawers. I didn't make any plans or base it off anyone specific set up. I just sort of played it by ear as I went.
I started off with a 3/4" plywood I had left over to make a base plate. This may stay in full time, but I haven't decided yet. Once the base plate was in, I measured up what I wanted to do for the drawers. Each drawer box is 28" long 15" wide and 10" tall. I wanted it to be easily removed and modular so each right and left box can be removed independent of the whole system. Each drawer box has 2 bolts on the outside that secure it to the base plate. I used eyebolts so I can use a bungee cord to secure my cooler and bags to the top. The rear of the boxes are secure with 2 thumb screws each. So with 4 bolts and about 5 minutes I can have both drawers removed. Pictures may be out of order because I'm uploading from my phone.

Wow - this is really nice.. you could have a side-business selling these..

Update pics on my axle swap / long arm kit.

Nice! Real axles have 8 lugs.

Honestly, I'm already thinking about selling these and going with a a 2.0 version. I have a few other features in mind that I'd like to add. I'll probably use these next month when I head to Colorado for a week and see how it goes, then decide after that.

All smiles

A day ahead of schedule. You gotta love freinds in the right places! Tire shop called to do rotation, balance and alighnment today instead of tomorrow. All done, smooth and straight and ready for action! Still can't say enough about this Jeep and how it rides with the Metalcloak kit under it!

Washed and coat of wax for summer

How did you attach the front plate to the steel bumper?

I installed an LED light bar and led lights the other day.

Was much more difficult than on a JK. However, after hours of complaining, I realized most of the difficulty was just due to it being a different process to set up.

I had no instructions.

Long story short, you have to remove the hood cowls on both sides to run the wire. Also, the hole that used to be under the driver side dash to run wire is no longer there. There are other holes, just more work to it.
