What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Mr.BoJangles_91]

Looks good. Also assuming no lift? I like the look and it’s amazing these Rubis can mount a 35 without any modifications.

No lift. But the rake is real. There's just about an inch difference between front / back. Going to add the teraflex leveling kit + mopar LCA next.

No rubbing on turns. Quieter than stock tires

 

[Mr.BoJangles_91]

Great looking rig, I have been looking for that rack over the rear window. Can you tell me about it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

They come in pairs. I'll sell you mine if you just want one. Never mounted anything to it. Going with the Rhino Rack Pioneer platform instead.

Thanks for the offer but I need to do a little more research. Also, you and I are on opposite sides of the country. I'm not thinking that shipping would net me a very good deal.

Sounds good. If ya decide to go with something like this, $200.00 shipped and it's yours

Got my LOD rock rails in!

Man what a PITA it was to take them out of the packaging and I still got a little damage!

Ouch

I can confirm that every item I've received from LoD has been insanely packaged.

I have the same rock sliders and they are great, but the hardest part of the install was removal from the box!

One side done... it took me an hour to get the factory decal adhesive off

Lol.... yeah, I have front , rear bumpers and rock sliders. I found this is the best way to open LOD packaging......

@Centurion07 You're the Best Babe! It is so much fun learning from you and assisting you on my Jeep #couplegoals

I'd say "get a room" but you two are married.... so I'll just move along.

"Jeep" emblem Dipped?

(Regardless, blacked out is a much better look - kudos)

 

[Covered in Dust]

I’ve got front and rear LOD bumpers plus their rock rails. After the 1st install I found that an electric knife works pretty well to get into the packaging.

haha that’s awesome.

since you both have these rock rails, what should I do about the damage?

I really don’t want to send them back because it took over a month to get.

should I ask for some money back and just paint the area black? Also will you see the damage once it’s installed?

I don't own these.
But I do have an opinion.

That's a pretty substantial chip. Even if it's not visible, it's still a defect that should be addressed. Take a few close-up photos and get an estimate to have it powder coated/fixed. It'd be around $125 job with the places I know of. Then ask for compensation from the vendor.

If there's no common ground, I'd return it.

What @mazer said is what I would do. Just send a few photos letting them know. (I’m sure they’ll offer to exchange or credit)
But there’s also no guarantee the next batch (if you exchange) would not have a “ding” on them also.

So I’d just touch it up, although I wouldn’t personally go through the hassle or cost of having them “fixed” by another party....nothing a few rattle cans can’t fix! And they’re always good to have around if you get any road/trail marks/scuffs on them that you may want to touch up down the road

Yep, way ahead of you on this one. LOL
