Looks great! Those 37s are tucked in nicely beneath the Jeep. How is it on the freeway compared to Stock, any wandering or excessive noise?

And it’s crazy how much clearance just a 2 inch lift has on the new JL Rubicon Wrangler!

The ride quality is better then stock rubicon, the road noise is slightly worse but the km2’s are pretty good for low noise... I was worried about acceleration, but I’m happily suprised it feels the same...

The new eight speed has a 4.71 first gear compared to the old JKs five speed 3.00. That’s like having a 5.72 rear gear in a JK!

Where did you purchase the Cargo Mat from?
Dealership service department, I planed on ordering one, and they had just got one in.

Installed the ACE rock sliders, door sill guards and took the freedom panels off for a quick ride in the 70 degree weather yesterday

Yes, it’s a full length version

I had a full length for my JKU, but I'd like one for the from and a separate one for the back this time. Need to keep the sun off the kids, but sometimes I'd like more open air!

Ok, I'll post it anyway. I put cargo mat in and "Elite" antenna base: a nice metal part, that looks more tough that the stock plastic base Not to mention, it looks like the radio knobs! Or a tire. Lol

Today is the day. Dropped off one JLUR, five 35s, five Fuel Beast wheels, and one Mopar 2" lift to the garage...
Nice! I have the Fuel Beast wheels in my garage with 34" Toyo's on them from my JKU. Waiting for me new JLUR to arrive. Have snow tires on the JKU right now with the stock Sahara rims. Just going to leave them on for now. What colour JL do you have? Are your rims new for the JL or coming off the JK?
