BILLET SILVER Wrangler JL Club

[Xtremetj]

I see you did the AAL lights and inner fenders in the front. You didn't separate the rear fenders, did you? Any rubbing back there with the 39? Any regrets on separating the the 2 piece front fender? I think I would be less concerned if I had the black fenders but separating the painted fenders in the front makes me cringe.

I have not done the rears yet but that’s next. They are coming. It just barely rubs in the back from what we could see last night. Need to play with it a bit more. Once I split them I’ll be good.

I don’t have any regrets doing it either. I love the look. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was all room you have up front when you do it. At times I thought it was too much for 37’s but I would do it all over again.

I completely agree. I’ll never put the Freedom panels on again.

Yeah I probably won't either. I intended to put them on for the winters, but I didn't last winter, and there were no issues.

I also agree about the disappointment on the retractable shade, or more specifically the lack there of. I was really looking forward to that. I've got a SpiderWebShade now. Works great, but it would have been nice to roll back the shade at night and see the stars more clearly.

I haven’t looked at the SpiderWebShade.it is set up so you can open and close the Sunrider with the sunshade installed?

I don't think it's necessarily "designed" to work with it, but it works. You can stretch the front of the shade back to reach through and latch/unlatch the Sunrider. You obviously have to open/close the roof by reaching out the window though because any shade will be in the way. It was a little awkward the first time or two, but after a few times it's not really an issue. I guess some people open/close it like that even without a shade, though I don't know why.

Got out for some fresh air yesterday

Chris, what lift are you running? The flex looks great.

A quick lockdown escape.

Andy, what rack is that? Happy with it?

Looks like the EVO trail rack. I really like the look, but not the $830 price tag.

Finally got to take the top off.

That looks to be it, thanks!

Love the low profile of this design.


-Steven

 

[Shots]

Yeah me too. The only other one I've found that's low profile like that is the JCR rack (quadratec $600)

And the Exposed Racks cross bars (quadratec $326)

I've been trying to decide if I want to spend the extra money for a full rack/basket instead of just the bars.

Yeah, it's a big jump in price. I put kayaks and additional rotopax cells on my current rack (KMS/JKU) when we are out West off roading. However, most the time I'm not utilizing the rack.

Finally got lift, bumper & winch installed

i am thinking of the same wheels on my Silver JLU but in bronze, you think the color mix will come out nice?

 

[Shots]

Ooo, I really want to see the bronze on silver. I really liked the bronze on the 75th anniversary JK but don't think I ever saw it on a silver one.

To be honest, I really wanted the bronze and went back and forth between those and the black for a while, and at the end, decided black would look better (in my opinion) on the billet silver metallic. BUT, I would like to see how the bronze looks. Let me know what you end up deciding on!
