What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Stuweeks]

Did you have that done or do it yourself? What did that run you if you don’t mind me asking?

$1,200. They did everything including removing the seats.

Is it noticeably louder without carpet? Looks great

Where did you get the covers? Thanks

Ebay. Here's the link

I thought it was worth $26 not to have to paint them.

My new sneakers!! No lift. Any reason for a shimmy!? Need balance/alignment or something else? Ideas?

Are those Arsenal's? If so which offset? Looks great!

An increase in tire diameter also increases the toe-in. Too much toe-in can cause steering shimmy when hitting bumps.

Thanks for the advice. I only increased total diameter by about 3/4". Might that cause that problem!?

Adams 1350 drive shafts, 4.88 gears and Motobilt Diff covers will be going on after ring and pinion breakin!

Thanks!! Black Rhino. I think the offset was -18 (17x9.5).

If all that was changed is wheels and tires and it was fine before, than its possible that it was just enough to nudge the toe-in outside of the happy zone. Only other possibility would be the quality of the balance job. It's usually recommended to get larger tires balanced on a road force balancing machine, rather than the run of the mill machines found at most generic car tire shops.

Good eye man!

Added the Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop JL and it's freakin' sweet! Flips open for that topless feeling! Surprisingly low noise closed AND especially open. Hasn't rained yet to test that. Fingers crossed!

Check it here

Second year for mine. No leaks.

Thanks! I drove it for about a year with no carpet and just all weather mats and noticed a slight decrease from that. I also don’t remember hearing a significant increase when I removed the carpet. I have a premium soft top and magnaflow exhaust. I’ve never once thought it sounded loud in my Jeep. Maybe if I’m on the highway and the wind’s blowing hard the opposite way.

Not the greatest pic, but the covers have held up to heavy rain and highway driving so far.

Wow, those look great and super easy! Thx @Ingrum.

Yep, ordering me a set too.
