What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[TTEChris]

Nice! I have a red sahara coming too, and was thinking about doing that, but the gray inserts on the front grille/headlights won't match anything hmmm, pondering....

What method did you use to plastidip in the small spaces between letters/inside letters? Just spray the whole thing and try to peel off with a cotton swab or toothpick?

We just taped a square around the Jeep logo, and sprayed the whole area with several coats. 30 minutes after the final coat we peeled the coating off around the log(Very easy.) Getting between the E's, and the P was more difficult but really not that bad with a toothpick.

There was another thread where a forum member disassembled his grill and painted the inserts.... Don't ask me where it was, I just noticed it while browsing. My wife has a Sport, and the ONLY silver accents were the logos, antenna, and lug nuts. We thought about doing the same to the trail rated badge, but I may just order a replacement for that one as I like the contrasting colors.

You can pop out the inserts to paint them if you want to black those out too. They just clip on the back of the grille.

Ah! Good to know... yeah I'd plastidip them all black/same color. I also know there's a border trim piece on the front bumper too that is gray/same color. Do you know if those pop out too? Or do I need to mask and tape?

Since I don't have my JL/Jeep yet, does this count?

My order went into D1 status yesterday! Woohooo.... (sad part - the first order I did, which I cancelled, went into KZ status and is expected to arrive this week. Ugh....)

Bad news: Paid approximately $910 for registration
Good news: Saved $110 for transferring a license plate

I looked at my JLUR order and drooled on it a little bit.
Can’t wait till it gets here.

LMAO

I am also looking to change the silver grille and bumper accents to black. Is PlastiDip the preferred product in terms of durability and aesthetics vs say, spray paint or something else?

I’m gonna try plastidip; the advantage is if you don’t like it, you can peel it off and it won’t even show that anything has happened

Does anyone know the Mopar part number(s) for the dark Rubi inserts? If available and at a reasonable cost, I might end up going with those.

Edit: Finally found it. Had to search for grille accents, not inserts. As expected, pretty pricey. Will pursue painting...

4 of my Wifes 35" Tires showed up today.... Not exactly sure what happened to the 5th(Some sort of UPS Delay on one tire.)
Also spent a while figuring out why my wifes wheels that I ordered from 4WD Friday haven't shipped yet. They showed to be in stock at a TX warehouse, so I should have had them the next business day.

Thanks to the other forum members for the link to this brake light. Love it.

Looks awesome. Your garage floor is pretty cool too!

Where did you score that? Link?

Just need to cut the center hole larger to fit the camera thru. Very easy to do. I used a dremel.

No STT Pro's?

LoL. No not for her.
I actually wanted C-Rated KO2's(315/70r17) but they seem to be on some sort of a backorder and she wasn't willing to wait. These are D Rated and from the reviews seem to be quiet with softer sidewalls which should be good for her and the kids.
Pushing on the sidewalls they do in fact feel much softer than the E-Rated Cooper's which would barely budge when pushing on them.

Went with the 5 in Antenna X. No idea how the reception is because terrestrial radio is godawful.
