What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[hoag4147]

Washed it………would like to say it was covered in dirt and mud from the trail, but work has been nuts lately, haven’t been out in a while…sucks… .Reality is it was covered in bird shit, bug splatter and spray from the tires after hitting some standing water at the Starbucks parking lot……

Based on this pic you will be waiting awhile for those 38s

Already had JSCAN, but added the Tazer JL Mini mostly for its live functions, and auto stop start memory.

I've no use for a dead pedal, but it's nice that at least one of the aftermarket options provides an aesthetic match for the OEM pedal pads.

And if I ever need tutoring on the distinction between the Tazer and JScan (something I'm still struggling with, particularly the latter), expect a PM from me.

It really comes down to if you want the live functions and ability to use your lockers/swaybar disco when not in 4lo. If so go with the Tazer and expect some frustrations using it. Otherwise go Jscan and enjoy the easy life

The owner of the shop found one somewhere. I had to give up on getting a new one so hopefully this re-built used one works well. I guess we'll see.

Now the Saga of Rubi Axles can begin ... and the questions of not just purchasing one to start with lol

Yeah at this point I'm way past stock Rubi price. I recognize I'm in a sunk cost fallacy but can't seem to get out of it.

Just means that when you put a twin turbo LS in it you wont feel as bad?

i have learned very early on jeeps are the same as harleys. unending money pits, that no matter how many times you say your done. thats the last piece, here comes another one you cant live with out and have to figure out how to pay for.

yup. switching from 2.5" to 3.5" springs on the jeep. next week or two. should have the new springs thursday this week :D

I tested the brakes. They work.

The screenshots don't sufficiently capture the ambitious rate of deceleration, but both the vehicle and the forest rat remain intact, so I'll log it as a Win.

The other half of the "hood" project. Hood struts:

Amazon.com: Front Hood Lift Strut Suspension Support Kit Compatible with Jeep Wrangler JL 18-24 & Gladiator JT 20-24 : Automotive

Note: these are strong supports. Eventually they may give a little, but they take a "little" effort to close, and the hood "springs" right up after you slide the center hook. 15 minute install, takes longer to get the ratchet and 10mm socket than it does to install them.

Second application of a ceramic coating to my JLR. First time I’ve tried this and was wipe on hand buff off. Turned out great.

Replaced the exhaust clamp that was leaking after the clutch recall. Looks like the tech refused to clean the joining exhaust pipes before clamping it together. Took a wire wheel and cleaned it off before resealing with a new 60 dollar clamp.
