What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[okie dokie]

Swapped out the plastic front bumper on my Sahara for the steel Rubi plus added the skid plate. Followed a thread on here and purchased the bumper parts individually not the one solid bumper.
Def more involved with installation but saved a decent chunk of change this way and I could not be happier with how it looks!

(Still need to buy the little filler plate for now and then I will add a finished pic)

It was a beautiful day. Put the Sunrider for Hardtop back on and put my UPR Oil Catch Can on.

Installed some front RokBlokz to keep the debris off the sides of my JLUR.

Got my Mopar lift on my new JLUR today. Since @Stormin’ Moorman decided to break his leg a friend came over to help. Looks great!

What did the Toyota mechanic think of working on a Jeep? Pretty different worlds....

Did he make it so Consumer's Reports will like it?

May I ask how much it came to? The cheapest I've seen for the Mopar 3 pc is $753.

Replaced the 3rd brake light with a new version by Oracle Lighting.

The new version includes a "pigtail" style connector, which should make accessing the spare tire a little easier.

any chance that you have a pic of this new connector?

I was hoping that my next post in this thread was lift and 35s but man I'm bored... so I did some cleaning, decals, and red accents

Keep in mind I reused my LEDs and didnt buy the end caps because I wanted the stubby look (both drivers to buy it part vs whole)

Probably not but do we really care?

The Toyota mechanic is a Master mechanic, works on and owns Jeeps. He thought it was great...

Sorry, I didn't take any pictures of the connector before I put it back together.

That type of connector is commonly used in wiring harnesses. It means that there is a short length of wire attached to the connector.

In my case, it makes removing and replacing the 3rd brake light much easier, which I need to do every time I remove my spare tire.

This is because I have the Alpha HD Spare Tire Mounting Kit by TeraFlex. With this setup, accessing a "regular" style connector, on the 3rd brake light, can be difficult.

If you have one, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

Repurposed an old bed frame into a frame for a hardtop hoist. This replaced a homemade wooden version that I used previously. Bought the Topsy brackets and I’m happy with the function. Costs were $45 for the Topsy brackets and rear lift straps, as well as a $30 harbor freight hand winch. Everything else I had around the house.

Super impressed that you did such a good job locating a single balancing point, but aren't you at all concerned with the top spinning into something when you inevitably bump into it while walking by?

Edit: Never mind, I see the bungee at the front corner now...

Got a little carried away with the ol' P-Touch machine and made a relay/fuse legend for the underside of my Voswitch power module lid...

Labeled up some other electrical goodies too!
