2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Rhinebeck01]

I thought I'd get 1 locking lug nut on each wheel with my Rubi. But none? None on the spare tire either?

My 2dr. showed up with no locking lug nut on spare. Dealer asked me if I wanted one and I said no. The Mopar locking is ugly. Looks like a huge sore thumb sticking off the wheel. 8-)

IF you are going to get locking lug nuts, consider either the black or chrome Gorilla splined locking lug nut system. Will slow them down a tad when they go to boost your wheels.

Morning all! Look forward to this weeks deliveries, and one of those damn well better be alltimesaresoon.

My window sticker popped this morning, nothing on build sheet yet. Jg shows it left yard and released by consignee on the 30th.

Looking at other orders appears the trip to Dallas takes 7 to 11 days, then a truck ride to Austin!

Glad you can get them. BUT everyone should look at your build sheet.
Jeep was to provide a locking lug nut on the spare. Hundreds of locking
lug nuts that Jeep has that they didn't provide is money in their pockets !!!
Call you dealer get one put on or mailed to you. (this may be Rubicons only)

Must be only for Rubicons. I just checked my build sheet and it's not listed.

To check for any recalls go to this site. At the top under "My Vehicle" click "Recalls"
Enter your "Vin" and recalls for your JL will come up. I did this and "Cruise Control"
came up. You click on the small PDF file there.

If you want to know when you've gone to far modifying your jeep reference this picture.

This idiot is asking 60000.00 for this abomination.

The back-up camera will actually block the rear tire from coming off easily. Not saying someone cannot just break it and rip it off. But, the spare is blocked from coming off by the camera

I'd rather not trust a flimsy plastic lock against the hands of a would-be thief personally.

For the record, that is moot in my case, since I bought a matched set of 5 locking lugs. NYC living and all.

No...14mm x 1.50 is what you need.
Gorilla

Actually those sets of 4 will leave one wheel without a lock. I ordered a complete set for mine.....now every nut is locking.

There has been some, very limited, posts on protecting the body colored rear fenders on the JL 2 doors. Has anybody experienced any damage to their rear painted fenders yet? How about people who have installed larger tires or reduced backspaced aftermarket wheels that allow the tires to protrude beyond the fenders?

I also read where the factory might be applying a clear vinyl protective film on the rear painted fenders. Was this done on all colors or just blue?

 

[OldGuyNewJeep]

I noticed also that no locking nut on the spare. Fortunately I had a new surplus set from my Ram. When I got it there were locking nuts on the wheels and I also found a new set still in the bag in the glove box. I used one of them. Only thing is I need 2 " keys ". Not to big a deal.

I was happy for this. I HATE locking nuts.

They do come with film on the front of the rear fenders
