it's easy to point out the bad - but I just want to send out a thanks to Normandin Jeep for excellent service - I really appreciate their customer service and wanted all to know not every dealer is out to get you -
I went round and round on the great tire debate - since I daily drive mine and re-gearing was a cost I could do without - I am really happy with the ride/look/stance of the Mopar 8.5 rims - forgot to add - kept the 33s
Does anyone have the AAL Bracket mounted with the Backbone? Would like to see fit pictures - I would like to get the Rhino system but want to verify it will be painless with my set-up - thanks
I was sitting admiring my JL when I really started to examine the Shift Knob - now I know where all the design $$ went - look at that beautiful thing - the Range light shining and reflecting off it's magnificent knurled metallic body with coordinated Red detent lever and ergonomic handle - it's...
just noticed this on a window sticker
A little profit taking quickly then lower the price again? I see that' it's back to $2000 on the Jeep build and cry website
Ugh - I've never lost a Damper after only 2000 miles and leisurely trail rides - the little things that are such a pain - here we go to warranty hell -
UPDATE - No hell - AEV warranty service outstanding - new shock received and installed it the other day - back to normal now..
So first it was the rear passenger side spring rubbing against the frame - so reinstalled rear springs (switching sides) and now the spring is rubbing the mounting plate - everything is installed correctly and torqued correctly - phone call to AEV, Teraflex and Rock Krawler this morning pretty...
Most if not all prices increased 10 % or more across the board - some companies like Quadratec have not reflected the price increase yet - shop around if you're interested -
Just went out to install the KC Security Nuts and it's a no-fit condition. The Security Nut diameter is too large and interferes with the Bracket - Just an FYI -
What do I use it for - Aux 1 is up for grabs - Aux 2 has Winch Solenoid, Aux 3 Pillar lights and Aux 4 Grille lights. Compressor on dedicated switch, Brawlee on dedicated switch.....there's gotta be something out there...
For peace of mind, I decided to install this. I read up on other installs, decided not to go direct to battery, and got some good ideas.
First what do you get for $80-$100 depending on where you purchase it – you get this:
I used my Aux Switch (simple hookup to Aux2) so didn’t use the switch...
Finally finished (ok probably not) the rear cargo area and I am completely satisfied. ARB storage drawer/roller top and side floors - Rear Mounted Power Accessory Panel - American Adventure Labs Tub mount with ARB twin compressor, Redarc 1225, Odyssey PC1100 - Renology 700W inverter - AAL Remote...
I've always wondered why individuals buy from dealerships they have no support for. Reading some of these threads is like watching the movie Fargo - "you need the undercoating" - first tell Jeep exactly how you feel - I always laugh when the sales person says - and rate us all 10's...I only will...
I know this has quite a few posts, but until you actually do it - a few things I noticed.
Make thru hole with radio out to avoid plastic ribs – and make hole with awl first then just twist the drill with your hand – the plastic is very thin and easy to work with. Use a vacuum to clean up plastic...
why is it that Jeep does not fill in the 3 pockets towards the rear of the hardtop? Finally got to me so big thanks to Hotheads for seeing the obvious -
My goal was a simple on-off push button switch which looked like an OEM install. So made small cutout in plastic cover using a Dremel tool, routed thru existing wire route with a wire loom cover that matched. Then routed over and down to washer hookup and used the disconnect that comes with the...
Installing the radio base behind glovebox and utilizing the AUx switch wiring for power - If you have this set-up, where did you stash it and what did you use to secure it? Pics most appreciated. I didn't like the plain screw provided by Rugged (why do they provide plain hardware) so here is the...
