Put on Metalcloak Fenders, can't wait for some warmer weather to switch over to the soft top and finally install the Teraflex ST1 lift and fox shocks that have been collecting dust :facepalm:
Finished putting on the Metalcloak fenders. I'm loving the look but now there seems to be a little too much room and 37's are starting to look more "fitting" :bandit:
Does anyone know if you can go back to stock fenders after putting these on? I found a second-hand set and was wondering if this was one of those situations where you can't undo it.
Yup, I went to Fitzpatrick's from NY because how great Mark is to work with. He does take some time with emails so I usually call, make sure you ask for Mark Fitzpatrick because I think there is two Marks.
2 doors are really bad at fitting 4 people inside for a long drive and does not have much room in the cargo area unless you take the back seats out. If you can live without the passengers (and rear seats) it is a serviceable daily driver that will get you from point A to B with a smile on your...
Has anyone made a 2-door platform for the rear of the trunk (with the back seats out)? I was thinking about making one out of plywood as the stock carpet and pull up hatch are getting pretty destroyed. I like the idea of the goose gear system but the price tag is steep enough to give the DIY a...
I installed it around the same time I was getting used to driving the JL so I am not sure if it was the shifter or me. If you go in to warranty it, please let me know if it is actually an issue or just how the transmissions are built. I have been wanting to drive another manual JL to compare but...
I get the same feeling you get occasionally. I made a family friend drive it out who has been a mechanic for 30+ years and he said the feeling is the synchro rings meshing. Thats the major downfall of the rev hang the JL's have, that 1-2 change needs to be done while avoiding it if not the rings...
Im surprised no one has mentioned an LJ-JL version of the two door. Making the 2-doors with a serviceable trunk would be fantastic (I'm talking about adding less than a foot of wheelbase/trunk space). The first thing I did was remove the rear seats but a little more room would be great for...
Theres a decent amount of room with a smittybilt winch but you would have to offset the control box. I love the bumper so far and only have super small areas of rust where the coating wore off. Its around the edges where the winch opening is. Also be aware there some very minor trimming that...
Today I installed the Quadratec pre-runner light kit and noticed the lights do not stay on when the vehicle is on. They only seem to illuminate when the headlight dial is changed to parking lights, second from the left. Is this normal? I have a factory halogen JL but swapped out to LED DRLs...
Hey Guys,
I was looking to trade my Rubicon wheels with Falcon Wildpeak’s for rubicon takeoffs with ko2 rubber. The tires have about 4000 miles on them, spare is still brand new. No chunking on the tires whatsoever. Looking for ko2’s as the truck sees more highways than mud so the MT tires are a...
