What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Rock Hopper]

Installed the Magnaflow axle back performance exhaust

- I know some of you had issues with the MF pipe not being wide enough, mine didn’t have this issue and the fit was good. I used a little grease to help seeding it in
- It was easier to remove the old exhaust by removing the exhaust hanger brackets instead of trying to pry out the exhaust from the rubber piece
- I purchased this exhaust because I wanted dual tips and to remove the “chrome”
- you can definitely tell a sound difference, it’s more noticeable, but it’s not anything like a cat back/straight pipe.
- only thing I initially don’t like is the slight drone when cruising and you have your foot slightly on the gas
- otherwise it’s a solid product

I concur...with all of the above, except mine (3.6) doesn't have any drone-at all.

I also removed the exhaust hanger brackets and was able to easily remove and reinsert the exhaust using a warm water and mild dish soap solution. (It was a VERY easy install).

Looks great and sounds even "more better" or as I say MOABETR!

Mine was a simple install too, also used a little low viscosity silicone lube and no prob. I think the early models had a fitment problem where a pipe spreader was req'd, seems they have fixed that issue
Haven't noticed any drone at any rpm, but maybe that's because I have old ears that had too many front rows at rock shows lol

I probably have you beat .. I’m probably younger, but have played in punk bands for 15 years, I suffer from permanent tinitus so my ears constantly ring.

Great plate! Ditto on the 3.6, removing the hangers, and using foam hand soap, easy-peazy!

May have found my rattle. Looks like my gas cap wasn’t installed all the way.

Any ideas how to push this all the way in? Should be easy but wasn’t clicking at first go.

Pic with the circle is what it should look like. Looks like it just needs to be pushed in a bit.

I took delivery on my 2021 80th two weeks ago. I swapped out the gas cover with the OEM covered one the next day. When I went to swap...the factory one was barely attached. Made it real easy to replace. They might have an issue at the factory?

Good to know it’s not just me. I got it to click in but I still have the rattle. I’m not sure how to keep it from rattling though. Not much remove to stuff it that I can tell? But it’s not a huge deal as I can barely hear it.

Easy method, I’ll just turn the radio up!

And if you let it ooze out all around the cover, it's super classy.

Ive done a lot of things over the past 11 months that I have had my JLU Sport. Today I installed the rough country skid plates for the engine and transfer case. I also added the rough country rear differential skid which looks kind of out of place right now since it is super clean and the rest of my undercarriage is covered in dirt from trails.

I am contemplating on 4.56 or 4.88 gears as I have 35" tires but am kind of looking at 37s in the future. I have the 3.6L auto

Funny you mention this. The thought had crossed my mind. I may give this a shot once I confirm it is my noise. Lol, and maybe I’ll do the classy look too.

Am looking at these same wheels.
Did you have to change the lugs and nuts when swapping out the stock Rubicon wheels?

Lug nuts were only changed out and I had the steely wheels before the Fuel's were installed.

How is the ride compared to stock?

Ride is alright compared to stock. My wife says it rides like a dump truck.

 

[cosine]

Lol.... due to recent events I did wear my steel toe boots as a precautionary measure

whats next. a hard hat.

 

[Hogzilla]

Got the Rock Krawler 2.5" Max Travel No Limits Stage 1 lift put on.

Looks awesome! How is the ride compared to stock?
what size tires?

Oh come on, now your being ridiculous! Motos bubble wrap helmet is knuckle rated. We won't need a hard hat, unless Reid gets into the roof rack game.

Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised that the ride quality feels like stock. The shocks that come with the stage 1 kit feel really good. I might have to lower the psi I'm running 36 psi on 37x13.5x17 tires.
