AEV JLU Wrangler Build [SEMA 2019]

[xj_scuba]

@JLURD and @toolaide4fit :

which step is this? I’m going to start install this morning and try to get it done this weekend. I think you’re talking about:
VII Final Tire Carrier Installation, Step 9. where it says to use the 5” long bolt.
Is that the right step you’re referencing? I just want to make sure.

Yes that's correct, we all used the 4" bolt rather than the 5" one and found success thanks to JLURD's experience.

You will need the longest bolt when mounting stock wheels and tires.

Question for fellow AEV Bumper owners.

Does anyone know if AEV's hi-lift mount jack for the JK tire carrier will work on the JL tire carrier?

I believe it does not unless you swap the taillights.

Thank you! Glad I didn't buy it based on hope only then to learn it didn't work .

Any word on release date for these wheels? Or am I wishing on a star...?

While it looks cool but unfortunately it will starve the radiator and kill your engine.
Bad design in my book.

This is total BS. It will NOT starve the radiator. This bumper design has been around since the JK days without causing what you mention. From AEV -
"From your pictures, it looks like the center hoop, lights and winch block off too much airflow to the grille, is this something I should worry about?
No. We spent years (literally) developing and testing this bumper in a variety of ways and conditions to make sure this bumper would perform well and without compromise BEFORE it made it on the front of any customer owned vehicles. The EX Front Bumper has seen everything from the daily commute to high altitude rock crawling to a multi-day overland trip across the desert."

I sure haven't had any issues on the two, soon to be three Jeeps that have them.
