What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[DuRsT]

Jeep looks great. Was wondering which bar do you have and does it block the front camera view at all?

Nope, no issues, it's the Warn Low bar, ordered off of Amazon. When you have the bumper off is a good time to install it.

Put on the RR Arcus front bumper W/ RC Pro 9500S winch. Pretty happy with the final product. I got the kit with the bull bar but haven’t decided to install yet.

Getting a lift And some new wheels/ tires later in the week.

After the wire loom, is it simple to fish the wire through the top?

Very simple. I just popped out the connector and just pushed the wire thru and pulled it out the hole in the hard top.

add handle and buy a new car

Awesome! I received one today as well.

I added finished the install of the Rugged Ridge Snorkel. I put the tall snorkel on for the day, but will most likely just run it in the low mount installed for normal driving and put the tall mount on for extended trips.

I painted the intake mesh for the upper and lower intakes red. I just though it needed all the black to be broke up some. I also ran the air box drain to the the front bumper with a valve so it would be convenient if I needed to drain the air box.

I think this may improve my mileage. This really opened up the amount of air that get pushed to the air box. The stock air intake tube is maybe an inch to an inch and a half in diameter. It is maybe a quarter of the size of the intake tube for the snorkel.

That red effect was a nice touch.
Looks sharp!!

Made an unscheduled extra payment on the purchase loan. Knock on wood - my JLU has been trouble free so it looks like a keeper.

Made an unscheduled extra payment on the purchase loan.

Some years ago, on a loan for a vehicle that I've since sold, I was able to work out accelerated payments to principal without spending a penny above the established monthly payment figure (if I didn't want to at any given time.)

E.g., assuming a $400.00 monthly payment: instead of paying $400.00 once each month, I paid $100.00 every week. I don't recall precisely how much interest I saved. The note was paid months in advance of its original maturity date, though, meaning this M.O. worked exactly as I intended. This approach required manual transfers via online banking, which I had been doing for several years when the loan was opened.

My financial institution didn't have a problem with how I did things, provided the minimum recurring payment occurred by month's end...which it always did. When I wanted to pay more than $100.00 per week, I did that, also.

IOW, I determined that I was able to leverage the amortization process, and I took advantage. Perhaps it's an option for others, also.

I need to buy some Oncorhynchus nerka to prepare on the new countertop grill that I received for Christmas, too.

Red Salmon in Pennsylvania that's going to cost a few $$$

Silenced the 'clunk' from my D-Rings when going over bumps, even with anti-rattle cups and bushings on the shackles hitting a sharp bump would cause the clevis pins to rattle in the shackle mounts. Cut pieces from a spiral polyethylene cable wrap, glued into the shackle mount and then lubed with a dab of silicone grease...No rattle and they still move freely!

 

[JaxPilot]

Installed a couple of Christmas presents - a Factor 55 Flatlink E, and Outback Trailgater.

Looks sharp red, I may need to the same. I too only run the high snorkel on Jeep trips. I like the look but the wife complains it hinders her view. You got a parts list to extend the drain? I need to do that, its too hidden right now.

I just a longer drain tube and moved the valve to the front bumper.
