What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[WRGLR-JL]

Love it! How was the install.

Pretty straightforward. Took me a little over an hour. I tried to be real careful not to damage the dash panel surrounds. My biggest concern was removing the airbag behind the passenger panel. I disconnected the battery prior to proceeding. Wound up being pretty easy to remove and place it in the new panel. I watched this video on You tube before attempting. Provided lots of good tips to making the change.

Does it drive different, better, more solid?

Stiffer defintely. However my steering is very sticky now, trying to figure out why. Everything was installed and torqued to spec but when i turn its turning the whole bottom threaded cap. So trying to figure out what the issue is

Everyone have a safe Independence Day. Today I left the old girl in the garage and took the family to the lake. I might come home to divorce papers and an empty garage.

A bit confused. The ball and socket cup should be pressed and not spinning in the knuckle, and the tapered stem should be locked into the axle side. This tapered press gets retained by the castleated nut.

So, is the threaded and tapered stem rotating in the axle or the cup is rotating in the knuckle?

Did the sticker thing to color match my KC covers. Dug the old skool yellow but it just looked out of place on red.

Had my Metalcloak 2.5" lift and 35" Mickey Thompson ATZs installed a couple of weeks ago. Then I had my new Fuel Rebel D680s installed on Thursday. Absolutely love them!! Can't stop staring at that a$$ though! LOL

I discovered and removed a huge invasion of my privacy that I didn't know was there.
This should be illegal without written consent. I guess privacy isn't in the constitution.

Dealer added GPS tracker and kill switch that I did not know I had.
Called the dealer and they couldn't understand why a customer wouldn't want it, lol.

They called it "anti theft"

This is not the right topic... but would you mind telling me exactly what you had to do? I'm trying to figure it out as well.

You could reply in my thread here, so we don't derail this: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...-gps-tracker-add-on.54014/page-2#post-1174356 Thank you!

I'm working on a DIY headliner that should be a lot more efficient in terms of noise and heat insulation than any commercial products.

In the photo I just applied 80 mil Noico butyl insulation from Amazon for heat insulation. It has adhesive on the backside. (It tends to smear the hardtop when it touches it, but acetone cleans it up right away.)

It looks kinda ugly for now, but I'm not done. I'm still waiting for 1/2" 2 lbs polyethylene foam from Foambymail.com, for noise insulation. I will glue that to the Noico and it will change the appearance.

I don't think it will look as pretty as commercial products... I don't have the patience for that... BUT, it will be a lot cheaper and, most importantly, much more effective.

Great build, man. Solid aesthetic.

I took the rock rails off my 2020 Rubicon...and cursed the designer who had two of the twenty bolts squirreled away where you could only get 1/64th turn of the wrench at a time.!

Outback Adventure tailgater finally got delivered. They added a new color of stamped gun metal or the silver. Love the new color option.
