2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[viper88]

Yup. I had WeatherTec in my Jeep Liberty. They fit exactly, I really liked them. I wonder if the JL model will come with drains?
I ordered mats with my ruby but if I didn’t that’s where I would go.

Did you already get your JL or just ordered? I am only asking because I read you will not get the carpeted mats if you order the all weather mats. I think people were suggesting not ordering the all weather mats initially so you get the free carpeted mats. Then buy the all weather mats afterwards so you have both sets. Personally it would not matter to me because I never use any carpeted mats. I always replace them with WeatherTech. (The Mopar and Husky mats all look like they would do the job so I might pass on the WeatherTech mats when I get the JL) The only time I might use the carpeted mats is when I resell. I thrown in the new unused carpeted mats so the interior looks fresher for any potential buyers.

@gabeguy

I (finally! ) got around to trying the grab handles this past weekend. Looks great! Thanks again for the friendly and generous Jeep warming gift.

Update is here, who's next?

​

Got mine yesterday while up in the hills with the wife. Cool altimeter and gauges. I think I'm going to like that app.

I had to get up there again with her as she missed the long hike but didn't want to miss the season's sights.

First time out on the trail today. Definitely missed the 2dr maneuverability (coming from a JKUR). New transmission feels great.

Looks like superstition mountain (flat Iron) behind you in the first picture. Missing my days in AZ........

Nice. 8sp or manual? Is that the standard soft top?

Out around 4 peaks, superstition wayyy in the background.

Its an 8spd with a very dusty premium top.

I was super close to going with the manual but i couldn't find any with the options i was looking for. Debated ordering one for a while, ultimately settled. The 8spd with the new manual mode feels very good. I'm happy with the decision overall. (even though i'm sad i can't row through the gears)

Trail times = happy times.

Sadly, this not where I’m at today. Not by a long shot...

Time's Square

Been there a couple of times and both times it was busy and full of construction. That's a busy city. lol

My second 2 door JL spotted in the wild was a twin!

Good morning, unicorn Jeeples!

Another day filled with happy thoughts for everyone still waiting!!!

Aww that made my day! I hope my Jeep comes in tomorrow! We are so close! We needed it this past weekend we got the Prius stuck in mud! Was not fun trying to get out!

You are torturing me with these pictures of Colorado, but keep them coming! I went out for several years to Silverton and have been in the Leadville are a couple times. The first time I ever went out there all I could think of was, in the words of John Denver, "Coming home to a place he'd never been before"! If I could find an affordable place near the mountains I would move there but I have very limited funds.

I bought these and love the idea but also wonder how much it will let in. I can just see me hitting a puddle and having a water geyser in between my feet. Lmao

The stock rubber floor plug fits in the drain hole. I've been using them for four months and not a drop. Though, I have not tried to float down any rivers.

IIRC, the drain holes in the tub are located above frame members or skid plates - it would be hard for water to get a direct jet to the underside of the plugs.

As always my jeep is at home and I need a favor. Can someone measure the hinge section that stays on the jeep for me? I need the vertical dimension so I can try and find a mirror that drops in with the doors off. Thanks

The mirrors on Quadratec.com work great for this...

I did a live chat on Quadratec tonight asking about an item that’s listed as a pre-sale, since it’s not in stock yet. I was told they have no word from the manufacturer when it will be in & ready to ship. It felt like I was talking to Jeep chat all over again!!! :cwl:

I got them with the jl. I do not need the carpeted mats, why waste them? Have enough clutter at my house that I will never use. And I don’t plan to sell my Jeep any time soon, so I am totally fine with only the weather mats. They can be washed right off when they need cleaning.
