What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[MoparMike]

Installed my new soft top from Californiatops.com. It is very well engineered. Took about 2 hours to get it on but it won't take long to take off and put back on going forward. (The flashlight has been removed)

Well you created a insanely short bed Gladiator! Congratulations, I have to say that looks great.

Is that a stock Willys? (i.e. no lift or whatever)

I am considering the same tire size but was thinking I'd have to bump it up a little - was thinking at least Rubi springs. Also... have you noticed any problem with those wider tires spraying stuff on the sides?

Looks great and what I am looking for!

What bike carrier are you using?

That's the Thule Spare Me rack. I did a pretty good write up for the modification process. It doesn't work off without modification unfortunately.

Installed some Rampage rock rails.

Did something small to my Jeep today; I added a Fuel Cap Door for some added security/peace-of-mind. It was my first addition to my stock Jeep (or any other vehicle for that matter). Took me about 5 minutes to do and I am completely satisfied by the outcome!

Start here:

Then use these to cut off and flush down the useless plastic garbage nubs:

Then you have this:

Then use these to get it ready:

Like this:

Then align it:

And bolt it down (need your own hex):

And you have this! :

Toss useless plastic garbage nubs:

Niiiiice:

Those little Crescent clippers are pretty awesome, small little buggers but capable of big things. I've had my set for 12 yrs and they cut as good now as they did new. The little needle nose pliers that come with them are great too! Cheers.

Installed my Bestop Sunrider (Twill) yesterday in between the rain storms

Inside/underside view!

Finally got the HiLift jack installed. Now hopefully I'll never need to use it

In a recent litebrite video, they pointed out how the Sunrider underside was just barely warm to the touch, whereas the inside of the rest of the hardtop was hot enough to chase the hand away. They thought it worth mentioning to anyone who might think that the black canvas material would've radiated more heat compared to the freedom panels. They also prefer the twill over the other version.

That is interesting to know, the black underside is very different the white of the hardtop.
Just got to wait for the weather to clear up to be able to test out this theory, but so far I like the look!
My son complained about heat in the top only this weekend, so I am looking at different headliners now, so good threads that I am reading through.

Yep, suspension is 100% stock. I haven't had a chance to really drive it in the rain or in mud/clay/etc, but the width is fairly negligible. You'll notice it if you're looking for it and it provides the slightest bit of poke over the stock size.

I've put a few hundred miles on the new tires as I wanted to break them in before any wheelin', but hopefully will be back to Uwharrie for another trip in the next couple of weeks.

I love the look so much, I'm hard-pressed to do much else to it in the suspension department...maybe Rubi springs (we already have the struts).

 

[Nomoracin]

I got some new shoes...

 

[CBDoil]

I installed a smart rearview mirror that acts as a front and rear dash cam. It's nice not seeing my headrests in the rear view mirror whenever I look back!

Love it! Where did you get this?

 

[Fire Burns]

Got these:

Very nice packaging and cool plastic seal protection - No clue, what alchemy goes into that!

Take off cardboard

Peel off backing:

Stick down:
(Note the back seat actually has a correct direction as the inner curve is larger towards the back)

Have had those Tufskinz for almost 2 years (but the black with red). For me, I never took off the sticky backing so they could be easily removed for easy cleaning when needed. Perfect friction fit has been enough to keep them sitting flat and looking good to this day.
