2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[gabeguy]

Do we have any 2 doors on 35's or 37's? Not finding any pictures.

My search skills fail.

Mine is riding on 315/70/17’s.

I negotiated it as part of my case resolution. (Case opened because I was in D status for nearly 6 months after ordering.) I also got an “appearance package” warranty for 3 years with no deductible (paintless dent repair, seat rips, etc.)

I highly doubt you’ll get one free for warranty repairs... Just place an order through your dealer, and negotiate the price with them. If they care about your warranty issues at all, they’ll let you buy it at cost. (It’s totally worth even full price.)

Yea I was 5 months, got the appearance package, and my dealer gave me the care for less than employee pricing which was solid.. I think this was more fomo than anything...

Has anyone figured out a more cost effective storage solution for PST windows? I would hang them but the landlord doesn't want anything on the garage walls.. (and my girlfriend is doesn't want them on the guest room bed anymore haha)

I can't even put them on the bed since too many cats live here! I have been laying them flat in the garage with old beach towels and blankets under and between them. Planning on making a simple shelf where they can lay flat

Cost effective? No. I went ahead and sprung for the bag.

Ok, I got caught in my first major downpour today with top down and doors off. It was fun but EVERYTHING definitely got soaked. Does anyone know of any reason why I SHOULDN'T Scotchgard my cloth seats?

Just got my Flowmaster Outlaw axle-back exhaust installed today. Very aggressive sound but, hey, that’s why I got the Alpine! Lol

How difficult was it to drop the windshield?

How difficult was it to drop the windshield?

Really easy.

Took 10 minutes and I was being careful. 4 bolts, windshield wipers, and it's all ready to put down.

Added new custom tuned IFP shocks and coils from Accutune Off Road! This upgrade gives it about a 2.5-3” lift.

Looks great! Congrats.
I'm actually going with the Rock Krawler 3.5 max travel and king adjustable shocks as soon as they become available.

Looks great! If you got the speedometer re calibrated, what is your before and after gas mileage.

Looking Good, what are your wheels?

They’re Raceline Clutch wheels

Love it Lisa! So only coils, and shocks? How's the ride quality? I must have missed it if asked before, but how does the factory gearing feel with the 37's?

It rides awesome! Still have Factory gearing and it’s still faster than my JK! (But it has 40” tires on it)

How difficult was it to drop the windshield?

First couple of times it was a pain in the rectorial region! Only because the wipers were so hard to remove at first. But now that I've taken them off several times, it's a breeze! I can have it down now in under 5 minutes. Once you take off the wipers, unscrew the four bolts behind your visor, pop the top and lift it up a bit (for soft tops. For hard tops you may have to remove the two panels. Check your manual on that) then push the windshield a bit to get it off the frame and carefully lower it down (it's not heavy).
