2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[BostonBilly]

I went with the Rusty winch plate and a smittybilt winch. Install was pretty straightforward

Ok, now another question:
I have a factory steel bumper on my rubicon, which I like.
To install a winch, do I need to buy it with a new bumper? Hope nobody laughs, please. Starting to think mud and dirt...what brands does everyone like? I know there are other forums, but easier to ask friends.
Heading to NC mountains this weekend, hope to find some dirt!!

Have a good trip, and remember to post some pics from the area!

My Sticker showed up early this morning! So, It looks like my Jeep is on her way here.
Looking at previous orders in Florida, it should only be about 2 more weeks.

Keep in mind that when you get the all-weather mats you do not get the carpeted mats. In case you care. I got the all-weather mats after so that I would have both. But that's me.

Great to know Mike! Thanks so much for that! I might just have to go with some weather techs instead, I had them in my Subaru STI and they were AMAZING!

I've got the carpets and never used them after putting in the rubber mats. Still available if you have any regrets.

I'd stick with the plan to buy weather tech and be done. Good build. I'm sure you will enjoy it @Jeeprubicongurl

I checked on weather techs website yesterday to see if they have the 2019 mats available for the Wranglers yet and they’re only available for the Cherokee and the Compass right now. Love Weather Tech though! I have a review video I made of them on my YouTube channel; I’ll be posting tons more footage to my channel once my Rubi arrives! Thanks for liking my build! I know I’ll be in love with it at first sight and first drive!

Just had a couple walk up to Jeep, they didn't realize I was in it. Lmao. I guess the tint works. She is filthy but people still love her.

The WeatherTech's for the 2018 JL, will be the same as for the 2019, JL. I had the WeatherTech's in my 2018 JL, for about 3 months and then sent them back and went with Husky Xact Contours.

Are the Husky's a lot better? I've had the weather techs in my STI Limited and they fit super great! I really liked them a lot and are hoping they've provide the same coverage in the Rubicon!

 

[Rhinebeck01]

The WeatherTech's fit great! The coverage is the best in comparison to all other mats out so far.

I have been using WeatherTech's in my JK;s for many years and am pro WeatherTech.

I went with the Husky's as I did not need quite the coverage and wanted a better feet to the mat feel I guess you would call it. You would have to feel/try the Xact Contour's to understand..

Anyway, you will be please with the WeatheTech's. Truly liked them in my 2dr JL. Actually, once in awhile think ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I may just go back to the WeatherTech's..
