What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

(Cross post in Recon Ordering thread)


I got my replacement Rubicon today! Finally after MONTHS of arbitration and Stericycle, I finally have my new Jeep and I couldn't be happier.

I had a huge assist from FCA corporate to get my Punk'n Recon. The color was discontinued before Stericycle could get their paperwork together and it looked like I was out of luck. In an act of desperation, I emailed some Jeep executives and one got back to me and helped me get my Punk'n! I'm so thankful because it HAD to be orange.

The steering and handling compared to my '19 JLR is remarkable. This one doesn't pull or wander and the steering feels much heavier without the play. AWESOME! I am so happy with this Jeep and hubby likes it, too.

My only complaint is that the tires seem loud. But I'll eventually get 35s anyways.


OK, PICS of Ranger...

At the dealer:

The black grille:

Love the dash:

Flag decal:

Love the rail/step:

Not sure how I feel about this decal (hubby likes it), but I'm going to leave it for now:

I like the fit of the Mopar grille guard and am curious how it works with my Warn winch:

Nice touch:

So much glorious Punk'n orange!!!!!!

where'd you get the fender decal?

Hi, the decals are part of the Recon package.

@pixeldecals can make some for you, tho.

Post up a shot of what it collects over a few thousand miles. I'm very curious. I think it might be worth it just to avoid the smoke screen at extreme angles.

It’s nasty lookin, similar to the bad oil that comes out of diffs, black with gray streaks. Not much driving right now, I’ll see if I have some, but not likely, or at least not much.

I installed the Core 4x4 Tier 4 Control Arms set. They were a PITA get installed but they look great color coated to my JL. It drives really nice and tracks great. The steering wheel is straight, got it aligned afterwards, now it drives so smoothly, words cannot describe it. It doesn't fall into the grooves of the street. I also installed the Synergy Steering brace, which didn't make a big difference but was slightly noticeable. Overall, I'd say my ride is doing really well suspension wise.

Two words...

Hope to meet up with y'all soon.

Getting ready to order a lift need input. I have 2019 JLRU. I’ve been looking at the Dynatrac 2 inch Enduro Sport lift And the Mopar lift with 35s not going to add extra weight. How is the ride quality? Light off-roading to none.

Installed a Pedal Commander. I really like it. Only have about 40 miles on it, but I like the adjustability. Even the "Eco Mode" feels better than stock. It always felt that someone was trying to push slightly my gas pedal up as I was pushing it down, don't have that feeling anymore. I was going to hide it behind the dash and use the phone bluetooth function, but I like just having the button there for quick access. I really want to try out the Eco -4 setting in the snow. I think it would be ideal for the slippery stuff where you want to limit throttle on take off.

I had the SprintBooster on my JKUR and immediately installed it when I got my JLUR. There is a huge difference in throttle response. I chose the SB only because it is a smaller unit and I can disable the ability to drive the Jeep completely.

I’m looking forward to your write up. I hope you can detail how you wired this. Will it go on when you unlock with the remote key fob

Here you go.and no, it won't light up at unlock. I didn't wire it up with the cabin lights

Well as someone who currently has both, Dynatrac on a 2019 and the Mopar on a 2020, I like the Mopar a little better. It will give you more lift and the components are higher quality. The Dynatrac May ride a little softer though

Thank you for the input. What’s stopping me with the Mopar is it’s more than 2 inch lift and don’t want to big gap when running 35s. If I knew after a short time it would settle in at no more than 2 1/2 inches then I would probably go with it. But like I said not adding no extra weight to the Jeep.
