I have experienced something similar, only on the passenger side. It left some white residue wherever the water ran down/dripped, too. If I recall correctly, the dealership had to order a new roof rail and itās been fine since. Fingers crossed it stays that way!
Welcome to the Hydro club! Iām a big fan of Snazzberry, too (am I allowed to say that in this thread?)ā¦so you couldnāt go wrong either way in my book! š¤š¼
Pros and cons will likely differ depending on who you ask, how they use their rig, where theyāre located, etc. Personally, I like the convenience of the SOT but feel it offers a little less of the open air experience compared to the hardtop when the tops are removed/open. Overall, I think each...
I felt the same way when I saw the light output (also went with the Pros)ā¦now THESE are fog lights! The difference from the stock LEDs is remarkable and Iām happy I made the upgrade. šš¼šš¼
I had a similar concern and reached out to DD to see if they had a ābest practiceā that I should follow. In a nut shell, they said as along as itās not touching, itāll be fine. Hope this helps!
Based on my experience, I think your proposed approach is probably best to avoid the adjustment headaches. I had left my lights mounted in place and tried to tighten down the adjustment screws, which was quite difficult from an access perspective. I like your idea of gently removing them...
@AFD I installed my DD Hitchmount pod about a week ago and find the light output makes the rear view camera much more helpful at night (definitely not washed out).
As others have mentioned, itās a super easy install. I agree with all of @RubiCoug ās thoughts aboveā¦including the unfortunate...
@VenkatV Looks like youāre in Delaware, right? If so, you may want to consider checking with a detailer thatās relatively close to you - Berardiās. Theyāre probably a few notches above a typical detail shop and could very likely help you out with that scratch. If youāre not in Delaware or...
Itās nice to see a hitchmount light delivered and installed already. Itās gives me hope that I might see mine arrive a little earlier than expected. š¤š¼
I installed some DD SS3 Amber fogs this past week and the difference between them and the factory LEDs are night and day (figuratively and...
Iām sure prices can fluctuate across the country for various reasons but just to be clear, I removed the rings and only had them powder-coated while the wheels stayed on the Jeep so that may account for some of the difference. š¤·š¼āāļø
I worked with a Powdercoating shop for my wheels (well, the beadlock rings). It was quick, straight forward and relatively inexpensive (less than $200 total for the 5 wheels). Mine was also a two step process with the clear top coat. If you have something in mind and a shop nearby, it may be...
Pretty straight-forward, actuallyā¦just took off my beadlock rings and worked with a local powdercoater on the color. The āworstā part was just unscrewing and re-screwing the 24 bolts on each wheel taking the rings off and on. :LOL:
Decided to add some color to my wheels by Powdercoating the bead lock rings. Figured Iād share how it turned out in case anyone else is kicking around a similar ideaā¦
Do you happen to recall any specifics with respect to color name and/or finish with your powder-coated beadlock ring? Yours looks like a great match for Hydro and Iām looking to do the same with mine. Appreciate any assistance you can provide! š¤š¼
Yep, from what I recall, this is how my changes were handled. Dealer submitted the changes for approval and it took a few days to know whether they were approved or not.
I imagine there are limitations at some point in the process but from personal experience, itās possible to change an order. My dealer was able to change the color on my order twice (I couldnāt make up my mind).
I had a 2018 JLUR with dual tops and traded it in on a 2022 with SOT. I think all three have their pluses and minuses, which can be influenced by where you live and what kind of weather you get throughout the year.
Personally, I find the SOT to be a pretty good compromise of the hard and soft...
I think my situation is somewhat comparable. I ordered in Oct 2021 and received my rig in January 2022. At the time I ordered, the JL wasnāt included in the Affiliate Rewards. The day I took delivery, there was some conflicting info on whether the JL was added to the program (website wasnāt...
