What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[tylerk46]

I liked how the black painted interior of the freedom panels turned out, so I painted the rest of the interior of the hard top 2 days ago.
(I also have a homemade headliner nested in each freedom panel, and across the whole hard top ceiling. The glued-in headliner made for more masking, but less actual painting.)

I masked the windows, foam/rubber seals, and any point that would contact the Jeep body.

Here are some interior pics of the freedom panels and hard top once they fully dried and were back on the Jeep this evening.

What paint did you use?

Decided to try out the Proclip mount with the Scosche Magic Mount. Needed something that would work with my phone case (it’s my wallet too). The magnet on the Magic Mount is real strong. And I didn’t use the adhesive strip on the Proclip and it’s still solid. So far, I like it. Had to take my phone out of the case to take these pics.

Looks sweet! If you use it as your wallet too won't the magnet delete you magnetic strips on the credit cards?

You know what’s worse then getting stuck in a mud hole, getting stuck in a frozen mud hole. Yikes. Did water get in the cab with you?

Just a little. on the drivers side. pulled the plugs and let it drain.

The wheels are the 18" 5 spoke that comes on the Altitude and some Sahara's. The tire size is 275/70R 18, measures out to 33.2". No rubbing here at all, also you can see that the closure panels are still intact, I'm holding out for someone to design a replacement.

Mine is lifted 2.5 so I wan to do 35s, however I don't want them to stick out past the fender (I like the way your do not stick out). I can't get a clear answer from anyone on What tire size I can put on here without rubbing or sticking out and still be 35" or close. Someone ectually told me 33s is the best I can do, hell then I wouldn't have lifted it. Frustrate as hell about this.

There is a story to this, and I want to hear it. My buddies and I used to get into situations like this, it was fun. But you owe your friend a pack of beer or a dinner for getting out and hooking up lol

He did not get wet. The passenger side step was above the water. He stepped to the front tire and then onto the front bumper. Normally this hole you can drive through with no problem. The ice was slowing me down and then I go high centered. Lucky he was fast about hooking me up. just got a little water inside.

We were all camping and wheeling together and my buds Jeep was back at camp. He wanted the heated seat in my jeep more than he wanted to drive. Go figure. My wife was riding with another girl that was wheeling solo. I could not get out with out swamping the whole Jeep.

Unloaded it from a winter camping trip. Unhooked the camper, took out the generator, air compressor, 5 bags of tools, a cooler, two radios, two guns, a chainsaw and other trash. We don't leave trash behind.

Then of course washed it and cleaned it because of this....Fuck.

Finally wired up the halos on my Kiwi Master headlights to the heated seat control fuse.

Do you not have the aux switches? Best lights that I have ever bought! They beat out Quake LED in my opinion!

Washed off the mud and dirt from last weekend's off road adventure.

looks great!

I feel ya on the lack of information, I also think because the JL is still new that we're in many ways running trial and error for everyone. These tires go right to the most outer edge of the fender. The offset of the wheel determines if the tire sticks out or not, if you're going with the stock wheel and a 35" it's not clear to me where it would rub or if it would rub. Since you're lifted my guess is that the rubbing would be a greater risk to suspension, drivetrain or frame components vs. inner fender or body. The 33" tires clear everything very well, I probably could have gone a little larger not lifted from what I've experienced so far.

Bullet antenna on War Machine....it was only fitting. Reception is still good...thought it was gonna be shit.

So you plan to share with the rest of us about this type of witch craft that reduces wind noise? I'd love to hear it!!!!!

 

[Tritonman]

Nope, even better..the replacement shifter is on backorder.
