I checked it out this weekend. It did pretty well in a light rain. It diverted most of the water to the ends of the seal at the hinges, with just a few water drops forming near the center. However, I’m not sure it will be able to handle a heavy rain. In that case a more pronounced seal may be needed to direct water to the edges.Did this work?
Hey so I've been looking around. Where did you pick up the brackets you used for your munitions cans. I am trying to do something of the same thing.2 small army box with steel angles mounted on the hardtop bolts.
Extra storage for slings at 40$.
I cut the handles and I plan to use handle loop to hold a flashlight.
I live in a provide where front plate is required I got one of these for 20, looks a little cleanerHave a winch? Need to mount a license plate?
Just sandwich the plate between the fairlead and the bumper.
Those are great! Linky?Future hack ...... I'm looking forward to.....
Anyway, I think I found something I have been seeking out, since I got my JL ..
Caps to cover the key hole on a JL ...
What a great addition to the JL..
Especially, for someone anal about the "look" or worried about the mud, water, yuk, getting into the door locks... and water getting in the door locks and their freezing up and and... Been there done that... 8-(
Anyway, custom made , quality caps for the door key hole, that fit so tight that you really need no adhesive to hold them on.. I'd use adhesive any way, just to be sure they don't go awol lets say...
I'm getting the caps with no key hole as I have Proximity but there is a version of this cap with the hole for a key to pass thru...
I'm going to be installing the caps I am talking about in the next week or so ..SO, don't go to eBAY and spend $25.99+ (YIKES) for a somewhat similar set of caps that do not fit snugly and need adhesive to stay on.
Wait til I try the ones I mention... These sell for very very little money. Well worth the $.
Hopefully , this find works out for me.. if not, either way I will post and let those that want a set know either way. My hopes are up....
Would look like this ... matches very close to door handle color. Looks factory...
And french fries!!!I'm not sure if I have ever posted this hack, but will mention it now.
Take a piece of foam pipe insulation, cut it the proper length and squeeze it into the space between the front seat (drivers side and passenger side) and the center console.
Do this and no more dropping, charge cards, change, keys or whatver and having them drop down to no man's land so to speak. You drop something and there it will be sitting on top of that foam pipe insulation, waiting for you to retrieve it,
Yes, the seat(s) will move freely just as they always did.... has no negative impact on the JL. You don't even know it's there til you drop something.
Public Service message: IF you ever drop a credit card, driver's license, etc. in the gaps around the parking brake handle, do not try to pop the cover that surrounds the lever. You will do very costly damage doing this. Better to easily loosen the console and retrieve the item wihout doing costly damage. Come to the forum and ask how to loosen...
That is a great hack! Thanks!Hi All,
This isn't a Jeep or JL specific hack, it will work for anyone that has a 1" Ram Mount and a Mini Maglite. The torch, 18mm body diameter, will clamp directly in the Ram Mount arm, without any special adapter.
It works best with the spring end of the arm on the ball, so it grips the torch until the clamp is tight. It is easy to adjust with one hand after a few tries.
I've got a new torch in black since this picture was taken.
Hope you find it useful!
