What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[lightsout]

Just sharing info to someone who asked. I don’t really care if you do it or not.

Look I was just posting a review of my experience with the rubber tubing maybe to save someone a few $$$ and time and possible disspointment. I am not the only one here reporting that the mod is problematic. I know I like to read both the good and the bad to help me make informed decisions, is that not what these forums are for. I really value the voices here both positive and negative including your input.

I'm curious about this. We need a rack for more than 2 now, but I have only used the racks where the bike sits on top of it then gets strapped down. How does it work while hanging there, don't the bikes move around or hit one another?

I have both types of racks, the rack where the bikes are suspended i bungee the wheels together to prevent swaying, however not while that rack has 4 spots for bikes it is super tight i would not put 4 bikes on without experiencing some rubbing. It appears to be a decent bike rack and value. Mine like that does not tilt down so I am going to order the Quadratec rack myself. however we will only carry two bikes on it.

I did not move it so maybe???? Anyone else want to chime in on this?

Mine is straight too, not sure what's going on with yours.

I liked how the black painted interior of the freedom panels turned out, so I painted the rest of the interior of the hard top 2 days ago.
(I also have a homemade headliner nested in each freedom panel, and across the whole hard top ceiling. The glued-in headliner made for more masking, but less actual painting.)

I masked the windows, foam/rubber seals, and any point that would contact the Jeep body.

Here are some interior pics of the freedom panels and hard top once they fully dried and were back on the Jeep this evening.

Very nice, I plastidipped my freedom panels and loved it. Been wanting to do the same with the rest, but I still never took off my hardtop lol! What did you use for the headliners? I was looking at dynamat's 1/2 inch dynaliner.

This looks superb! Im curious if you will notice an increase in the temperature inside the Jeep, especially after sitting out in the sun all day.

They are rubber, although fairly firm. Mine was straight at first as well. About 5000 miles later it is permanently slightly swooping to the back. I just chalked it up to wind resistence when driving. Watch it when you're driving 70 mph nnext time and you'll see it bends waaaay back. Just starting to become permanent. I think?

As is mine.

I’ve got almost 3k later - and it still looks like the above. It’s supposed to spring back.

It comes with rubber straps that secure the upper frame of the bikes to the cradle. It also has a strap that you use to secure the bikes to the vertical support to keep the bikes from banging around. I haven't had a chance to try it out, customer reviews were very positive.

Well guess I need to go see the doctor.....

Mine is straight as well, but I actually like the look of it tilted back and was going to ask how you did it!

I’m not sure. Someone else may be able to chime in faster, but I can try in the next couple days and let you know.

Yes it will fit but you need to remove the back wall that sits against the back seats. Having the slipstream for a couple of months now I find that I don't put in the back wall when I have my hard top on and then when I go topless I put it back (at that point you don't have your freedom panels anymore). I also have a tail gate table so I lost a little space there.

I posted it above! You can’t even see it, only the mysterious blue ink that I guess was also in the cup with the spit. It definitely wasn’t bleed off from my jeans; I haven’t worn jeans in my jeep in weeks or anything else blue. Also, there was so much blue ink that I could sop it up with a towel. It definitely came from the cup I spilled, I just don’t know what it was.

Maybe you got Bluepenhagen instead of Copenhagen.

Be happy to.... How?

Painted plate white, ran the wire through vents for a cleaner look. Happy with way it turned out.

What did you use to fill the holes in the tailgate?
