What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

Axle shaft time!

Did u have trouble with the body mount bolts? I have a set of these coming on monday. I like the red and black.

the LOD ones you dont have to mess with the body bolts. I have them on mine,. i like them pretty easy to install. I do recommend having a jack or a 2nd set of hands until you get all the bolts started. OH and definitely get them all started before completely tightening.

I had to loosen the center passenger side body bolt to move the washer, but I went slow with back and forth motion. As mentioned, and the reason I went with LOD instead of the Ace sliders I had on my JKUR, you theoretically don’t have to mess with the body bolts. The LOD mount to the smaller bolts on either side of the body bolts.

I installed grab handles on my 2 door Hardtop, a new product from TeraFlex. This gives a good balance and lift point for two people to pick up the top ; my overhead hoist has limited height, so I'll gain the several inches of height to lift it clear now. Templates are included for the necessary drilling, hardware and handles are excellent quality. I ordered these from Quadratec.

Holes drilled?

Quick bath at the wash it yourself car wash, plus some 303 protective for the plastic bits

mounted and wired the Hellas to the Aux switches. I WAS intending on putting in a relay to drive them off the hi-beams, but damn, I can't find any place to easily mount that lil relay! Any ideas?

That's a badass rig dude. Are those 37's? If so, how have the stock axles held up?

Been working on my jl 2 door storage and sleeping platform thanks to https://lifenewandimproved.blogspot...-and-storage-platform-for-2.html?m=1#comments. Still have some work to do but coming along nicely.

Yup! 37” Mickey Thompson Baja Boss. Surprisingly, no warping on the stock axles. Keeping them just in case something happens.

Ruby got new shoes and rims. Cooper STT pro, 315x12.5x17. Fuel Ammo bronze 17 x 9 4.5 with 0 offset. No lift and 3.73 gears. Diesel engine. The diesel hardly even noticed the bigger tires and I lost about a mile a gallon. I drive up interstate 8 that has a significant up grade. The jeep only goes into 7th gear on the steepest part of the hill, otherwise it's 8th gear all the way.

Finished up my roof rack. Got everything dialed in for my trip to Moab.

Put on quadratec qrc side armor with steps. The grandkids wanted steps so they got them. Also added a quadratec flash light holder w/red maglite. Kinda pricey for what it is but I liked the look.

 

[dpike]

got the fridge set

... and finished with the electrical work to the voltage booster, power gate and house battery box

at some point i'll clean up and loom the wires. i wanted to test it out for a week before heading down to GW National Forest over Easter week.

How many cans did it take and did you remove the wheels?
Thanks

I used 4 cans total. Only wheel that I removed was the 5th. That said, I used trash bags to cover up the brakes/rotors. Was lazy and didn't even tape off the tire, let it cure and peeled the overspray off.
