  1. JL Tail light protection guards?

    I I know this post is a year+ old, and YMMV of course, but I installed these 2 weeks ago and today ripped BOTH of them off within 20 minutes of each other. It's like the "cage" around the taillights served as extra leverage + 1/4-1/2 inch extra sticking out the side. Both were brushed off...
  2. More lift - 2.5 to 3.5

    Rear portion of. There's a section that sticks out a little bit and that's where it's hitting (I think; obviously I can't see it happening but others have reported same and there are marks there which tend to confirm that's the rub point).
  3. More lift - 2.5 to 3.5

    Sounds like I need to focus on the bumpstops rather than gross height (esp. given MarkY3130's statement that he already has the lift I'd be getting and it still rubs). I'd rather not put the extra height in it - it's already hard enough to climb into and find tall enough parking garages for...
  4. More lift - 2.5 to 3.5

    I'm running 2.5" on my 2018 JLUR (Metalcloak) w 37s. I've had it this way for a year and it's mostly fine - drives great and looks great, and I feel omnipotent on the trails, there's nothing I won't try :-). However it rubs a little in the rear under some circumstances offroad. I've tried...
  5. DIY Metalcloak 3.5" Game Changer Lift Install and Review

    I don't have any pics yet, but I may take some this weekend. The guys at the shop asked for a report after I'd done a run with them, so I may snap a couple afterwards (with scuff marks presumably). They're real pretty for something nobody ever sees :-)
  6. DIY Metalcloak 3.5" Game Changer Lift Install and Review

    It would be nice not to have to immediately upgrade the driveshaft too. It's much cheaper than the lift itself, but I expect the labor is significant. I may have similar skidplate issues, given I just put the full Metalcloak skid system on it (looking forward to going out Sunday more...
  7. DIY Metalcloak 3.5" Game Changer Lift Install and Review

    Thanks for a fantastic write-up. This is the exact setup I'm thinking about. I've seen reports of driveshaft issues at 3.5" (tearing of the boot offroad), and I've been wondering if I need to budget for that at the same time - did you see any of that or have any other problems? Do you intend...
  8. SWR problems - Cooltech tailgate mount, 4' Firestik

    I had to tighten it pretty hard - enough that I was worried it'd break. As noted I ran a wire from the Cooltech mount through the tailgate and grounded it inside the Jeep, because lots of people say the tailgate itself is intermittently grounded due to variable resistance through the hinges...
  9. Post trail health check

    This is my first Jeep and first wheeling out. It's still stock tires and suspension (JLUR), and in my 3 trips so far I scrape pretty regularly. Yesterday's outing included a steep down over rocks and it sounded terrible (the crew I was with inevitably said 'it sounds worse than it is'). So it...
  10. SWR problems - Cooltech tailgate mount, 4' Firestik

    Replying to my own post in case it might help somebody else... Rechecking all the connections I found that I hadn't tightened the connection enough between the FireRing and the mounting stud. I was afraid I'd crush the nylon insulators. Connecting a probe to the coax center pin up front by...
  11. SWR problems - Cooltech tailgate mount, 4' Firestik

    I've read a gazillion threads and watched a bunch of videos on this subject, and I'm posting as a last stop before finding a cb install shop to figure it out. Here's my setup, and the testing I've done already: I've got the Cooltech mount on the lower hinge (upper hinge won't clear my garage)...
  12. Members old and new -- check in and wave hello!

    Hey all, Just got my first Jeep - after a lot of back-and-forth, I went all-in and got a Rubicon. I'm loving every mile and looking forward to learning enough to use it to its potential. I have zero off-road experience (my youth was spent as a drive-fast-in-a-straight-line American muscle car...
