Giving this thread a proper ending with a pic of the final product. Thanks to everyone who contributed and gave suggestions. The fender retention kit from AAL worked great and allowed me to keep my nurserts with some added support. Front bumper is next!
Me again... Curious how long it took the retention kit from AAL to arrive after you ordered it? Looking to order front and rear kits today now that I know this awesome kit exists.
I looked up the fender retention kit from AAL out of curiosity and it looks like the plastic fender washers in that kit can save me from having to remove the rivnuts since they take the place of the plastic clips on the fender. Not sure if that made sense but it will work for what I need! Thank you!
I'm looking to upgrade to these Bushwacker Hyperform Fender Flares. They're on sale right now I believe. Looking at the install instructions, step 12, it looks like clips are the only way to go based on how they attach to the fender itself (slides up and snaps into place).
Thanks for the reply! The nutserts are currently in the pre-drilled holes that the OEM fenders were clipped into originally. Probably 5-6 nutserts per fender. Those holes (bare) are what I need access to in order to clip the new fenders in 🙃. Also, I've got slim access to the back end. I can...
Hi all. Long story short, I installed some fenders on my JLU that required the use of the smittybilt nutsert tool. That worked well but I'm now looking to upgrade to some more expensive fenders that use the clip method like OEM fenders. Any idea how to remove the nutserts? Someone in a non-Jeep...
Thanks for the tip! Should I be looking for anything in particular/out of the ordinary? I did a lousy check yesterday just looking but nothing stood out to me.
Hi all,
The soft top on my 2018 JLU is leaking pretty bad. It happens on the front passenger side and wets up the door trim and soaks the floor. I opened my door this morning to a soaked floorboard and carpet which I did not have time to assess at the moment but will when I get home today. The...
I will be having power locks installed on my 2018 JLU sport here pretty soon. Since I have a sport model my key does not have any lock/unlock buttons on the key. I found the part number for the key with lock/unlock buttons and the part number for the radio frequency hub. My question is, when the...
So I've had the JL for a few months now but on the second day of ownership I broke the driver side passenger window crank. I was standing in the back with the top down.. hopped out and my shorts got caught on the crank and broke it in half. Any ideas on how to replace this? Thanks
I've gone through and read this forum multiple times. I wanna say thank you to everyone who posted part numbers and everything. I have a few questions though..
I have a JLU Sport base with the 5 inch UC radio
I understand that upgrading would cause me to lose volume and seek buttons on the dash...
