Has any one else started to see this issue with there jl
Matt,
Do you have to use distilled water?I used this "All in One Solution Mixture, today when I installed my R 3 hinge protectors. Solution worked great! By the way, the Hinge Protectors from this vendor are EXCELLENT!
I have a Bright White JL so I did not use distilled water. I'm thinking distilled water may be a good thing if your vehicle is dark color.Do you have to use distilled water?
Makes sense. ThanksI have a Bright White JL so I did not use distilled water. I'm thinking distilled water may be a good thing if your vehicle is dark color.
Possibly deposits in plain tap water may show as discoloration on a dark vehicle.. Just guessing here....
i looked on your website for the hinge kit but all i see are a pair of pdfs. did you run out?It makes me cringe too, on every new one I find lol
I have a lot of pre cut protectors in the works,
Basically a protector for every place I have found chips!
The products are listed below the PDF filesi looked on your website for the hinge kit but all i see are a pair of pdfs. did you run out?
I’ve had my JLU a month and almost all my hinges are chipped! I had my JKU for 3 years and not one chip on it. I’ve reached out to jeep to see if this is a design flaw or paint defect. The winter will rust up the exposed metal in no time.2000 miles on a jlu rubi and about 3 miles of that has been gravel road.

Matt,
My understanding is that it's mainly a Rubicon thing, because of the wider axles, BFG KO2s, and higher fenders. I would think if you keep the side steps on your Sahara you will have no problems.Question - is this chipping issue on the hinges only evident on Rubicon or Sport models without the wide stock Mopar side steps like the Sahara does? Stock tires help minimize chip chances too I assume...
Was hoping I don’t have to worry about it if I plan to keep my Sahara stock?
Thank you. That’s kindda what I figured, but wanted to confirm. Not only is the Sahara side step nice and wide, but I looked at the fender versus the wheel/tires, and it’s completely tucked inside the fender. Which means, there’s no way (or very low likelihood) rocks will come up from the tires and hit the hinges.My understanding is that it's mainly a Rubicon thing, because of the wider axles, BFG KO2s, and higher fenders.
