Cwu's Punk'n Diesel Build

[Cwu21]

My 2 year old decided that he was installing the @Baja Designs lights. I got the bolts started and he cranked and did the rest.
He is now ready for bigger projects

Well I’m gonna be honest about this mod, for me I’m 5’10 and when I was driving my rental Jeep I noticed a lot that there was no dead pedal. Now that I have it installed I never use it. I feel that either my seat is too far back or I’m too short I have to forcibly reach to press down on the dead pedal. So for me this was probably a mod I wouldn’t do over again.

My only comment would be that at first I agree with the reach, but when I moved it forward to the middle position it was 100% better. My JL is not a daily driver so sometimes I have to remind myself the pedal is there, but when I do rest my foot on it, I don't take it off. I'm 6'1". Changing it to that position was way harder than the back position.

Shows how much I know about it. I wasn’t aware that it could be adjusted. I’ll have to look at it more this week and see. If I was able to move it a bit closer it might be good.

Thanks for the follow-up. I'm all of 5'4" on a good day so I will have to see if I would end up using it. The upright seats make it to where my left leg can touch the ground so I'll have to do a roadtrip and see if I will need it. From everything I have read it is a TOTAL pain to get it installed because of the space you need to work in so I may make sure its necessary before I destroy my hands in the process of trying to install it.

Aside From my New Metalcloak Lift. My favorite mod so far has been my 67 Designs rail mount. I thought I would like it but never did I think I would fall in love with this mod. I have always been a phone in my lap or throw it in my cup holder. Having it secure in the rail has awesome. Im not worried about my phone flying when or if I slam on the brakes and everything is eye level.

Your jeep looks awesome!! Loving my diesel. 7200 miles on it and not one issue. I put the (2) Baja LP6 Amber on mine, love them, I used rigid amber's for the fogs.

Thanks! I’m thinking the LP4’s for the front bumper. I am looking to add the amber lens to my fogs

Does it block any view of the infotainment screen when your phone is mounted up there?

Here she is in all her glory. Still have some steering adjustments to work out but all in all I am very happy with the outcome

Did you by any chance measure the before and after for the lift in the front? Was watching Casey250 and his only net'd out 1" or slightly more with a Terraflex lift on his diesel. Just curious if I should hold out for the Mopar diesel one.

Just getting back from a run. Let me
Take some measurements tomorrow. I took measurements when I first got my 35’s I will compare the two

I will get a photo of this tonight when I’m done cleaning out the Jeep. There is no blocking. It also depends on how you like your phone mounted. I have mine facing towards me so I have no obstruction. If I have it facing directly forward then there is a small obstruction and when in car play It will block the top app in the left app pane.

Thanks for sharing... I should probably add this to my list! Maybe after the hoist and shade project lol.

It has been slow recently. I had ordered a Tailgate table quite some time ago. I knew there was a back order but after about 6weeks if finally arrived. Let’s me just say I love it the fit and finish is perfect. It is pricey but damn is it good

My Little shadow wanting to help as usual

Also forgot, today I Dropped off AFe for some R&D. I should be seeing a baseline dyno in the next day or so and they will be adding a
CAI as well as developing the exhaust and new performance Intercooler. Those are still probably a few months out but looking forward to seeing what we can get out of this engine. I would love to see numbers around 300hp and 500/lbs
