What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[SlowPoke21]

This is a bit overdue, but added LYTES to our rear Motobilt bumpers. Put some LED bolts where the holes for backup sensors would go and also used Rigid Radiance Pods, with amber backlight. More details in our build thread.

that is a lot of light! Very nice.

Is that likely something most people with the rk lift will have to do?

I’m still researching it, I think it has to do with how the rear axle is set up. If you look at Micah’s @Bombout800 pics, his is more of a direct hit .........

And mine is more like a glancing hit, more the side .......

His rear axle might be rotated up more than mine, judging by his rear spring. Either way it appears that unless your on a higher than 3.5” lift you’ll be dealing with this in some way........

Again........ this is just a theory, I’m gonna talk to RK and do some more research.

Even though you can run this setup, I think it’s more for higher than 3.5” lifts. My rk track bar was barely short enough using the bracket. It’s as short as I can make it, so if RK intended us to run relo bracket and adjustable I think they would’ve made it a little shorter. For ME, if all I have to do is cut a little piece of metal to fix it, that’s well worth the returns.

Once more.... this is all just theories , what ifs, maybes, and I thinks. I may be way off here.
Just another caffeine induced bunch of jibber jabber.........

Assembled and installed a new roof rack- the Inno Roof Deck 140. No experience with this company before but I got the rack primarily because it’s aluminum. Super easy to put together and I put it on the already installed MoPar crossbars.

Very clean look, how tall is it with the cossbars?

Thanks for the great info. Considering doing this just to be on the safe side rather than doing it later. I'm sure the info you have provided everyone regarding the rk lift has saved a ton of headaches.

Installed the rugged ridge HD stubby today. Hopefully next month I can sneak a winch into the budget. Happy Easter!

I ended up taking about 3/8" or so off the back of the bracket(towards the rear) and 3/4" off the inside of the bracket. Just a start. I havent been able to test it. I don't know if I'm still making contact, and if i am how much. I'll test it one weekend soon and take more off as needed. It's a beefy bracket.

This was the after. It's not perfect but will work until i know it's clearanced enough. Then I'll pretty it up.

I got the top off for the first time since buying it in October.

Sorry forgot the pic

Installed a front license plate frame (Texas still requires them) that bolts onto the fairlead. Flips up and out of the way for winching.
