Grabbed the picture from builders Instagram. Just showed up yesterday, install likely happening next week, and definitely excited to have it done. Feedback from the guys who have them on the JK's in the club was outstanding, and I think mine will be the first JL in the club to have it done. Will follow up post install, with feedback. Short version is "thanks guys" for the fast ship, can't wait to get it (and everything else that is happening to my Jeep done...) going to be a long couple of weeks.

Mine looks just like yours. I have enjoyed mine until last week that the belt failed. See my thread. Hope is not serious.

Curious to hear the result of your incident, how it was resolved, and how serious it actually was....please share!

Still in the shop. One idler was misaligned which caused the belt to split in two. One piece got between the crankshaft pulley and the seal and ripped it to pieces. Chucks of the seal and belt went inside the engine and blocked the oil pump.

Okay, the full disclosure is that I didn't do the install myself. I let my local builder do it, because he's got the experience from the JK's (this was his first JL). It was a day plus job for one person, and there were a few parts where the instructions didn't quite match up to the parts that were given (the instructions looked like JK instructions.) Big thanks to Jones Jeeps for everything, and especially this install. Second note is that there is a big difference with the space inside the JK engine compartment and the JL,

It just finished up today, and ProCharger received the stuff, and says they will have the tune back in a week. They received it last Thursday, and hoping that it goes out overnight, so we have it tomorrow, and see how things are then. All the pictures came from Jones Jeep, as he was showing (torturing me a bit yesterday) the progress.

Still waiting for the I-Drive Throttle Controller to arrive, but without the tune, it's not going anywhere anyhow just yet. Plan is the build will be complete next Friday, and I'll pick up then and be able to get some more feedback, but the short version is the install is done, and it does look good. Now I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs.

Video taken by Jones Jeeps in Marble Falls where the install was done. ProCharger with the helical gears, and MagnaFlow Cat-Back exhaust. Can follow him on Instagram at #jonesjeepstx

Down the road I'll make one more exhaust change, and remove the 90 degree piece which causes a little back pressure, and should pick up a little more HP, but that'll about do it for my purposes.
