My new build

[bittnecm]

So, on Tuesday, I decided to pull the trigger and trade in my ‘21 JLU Willys and got this beast! It is a ‘24 Willys XR, in Anvil…and I love it. Way more planted and more stout than my’21 ever was. I especially love the hardtop, cuts down on so much of the road noise that the softtop had. Already did my first upgrades (well technically I just moved my nerf bars and gas cap cover over); but, it is a work in progress. More to come…

Congrats!! IMO the Willys XR is best bang for the buck and what I would also do if I started over. Looks great!!!

I didn't like the new 24 grille...but I'm warming up to it!

Beautiful rig man.

Did another “mod”, yesterday. I installed the Luxe Auto Concepts PPF door sill protector film. $55 with shipping and I now have pretty decent and good looking door sill protection.
The front turned out really well, and I barely noticeable:

The rear turned out terrible, due to the body seam. Got home today, ripped off the rears and installed the extra pieces…they turned out so much better.
Round 1:

Round 2:

On a similar note, Rock Stopperz are a good idea to add to your door hinges before a rock chips the paint on one:

Well, I finally got around to installing my front bumper and winch. I went with the MetalCloak frame built bumper, with the fog light extensions. Opted for the Badlands Apex 12,000lb synthetic line winch, with a Factor 55 snatch block on the end of the line. I just gotta install line guard, on the snatch block, and tension the line.

Also, while I was at it, I decided to install a Warn power interrupter kit and hooked it to aux switch 4. Decided it was a good idea/investment to be able to control the power to the winch and not have the power line “hot” all the time.

Looks great. Curious why you removed the gas cover though.

@failsafe306, not sure what you mean.

Is there a different gas cover?

I believe he added the gas cap cover, not removed it

I read the post as you removed the nerf bars and gas cover…

So, I finally got around to another mod. Not really a mod to the Jeep…but, more of a mod to a Jeep accessory. I changed out the wiring to my Viair 400P to some 10AWG wiring, with an SAE connector on the other end. This allowed to build a fused harness with an SAE connector (on one end) and wire the other end into a 7-pin connector. I also ordered a fused 10AWG setup, with SAE on one end and gator clips on the other end. Now, I can use a 7-pin or a battery to power the compressor. Gives me the option to not have to get under the hood every time I use it.

Now I just need to build a 4 way airline setup. Gotta figure out if I am gonna use pneumatic brake lines or air hose (like the Morreflate stuff).
