So today I installed the Jeep rear cargo mat & rear seat back kit.

It wasn't a difficult installation but the instructions leave a LOT to be desired.
We know the struggle.


...next on the list is dealing with the POS frame and axle rust. 5k miles, less than a year old and already undercarriage rust. I baby my Jeep.

You think Jeep would at least do a little to protect the underside.
I owned my new YJ for less than a year before selling it back to a Jeep dealer (unsolvable engine issue). Anyway, it was sobering to observe the initial deterioration of the undercarriage while the vehicle was in my possession. I purchased it in December, and PA does use road salt, but the snowfall that year was pretty modest, and eventually the weather did warm up.

My new JLU is garage-kept, and I'm keeping a watchful eye on its undercarriage. As we all should. ;)

My car seats (Recaro massive ones with side bolsters etc.) have both fit great no issues with room in the JL...been a family favorite for the kids...cannot wait to have both kids out of them though :P

Do you know the extended and compressed lengths of these shocks? I’m looking to swap to these.
Icon doesn’t have the specs on their website and it’s not with the installation instructions I would give them a quick call...SKU number for front shocks 26523 and the SKU for the rear is 26524! Hope this helps!

Installed the @SPIDERWEBSHADE ... hoping it holds up rubbing against the WpnGear mount. 🤔

Just trying to enjoy having the top off as long as possible.

Is that an S8 on the hood? How does that compare to the squadrons and XL80s? Trying to decide on next lights, didn't think S8 would be enough or should go onyx6 or LPs.

Technically this was two days ago, but I got to finally enjoy it yesterday: finished my custom install of heated seats that are wired to my Voswitch JL300. Celebrates yesterday by taking the freedom panels off and still having my butt be warm.
That looks like a big job from what others have posted... thoughts? tips?

That is an S8, yes. I love the XL80s, and the Squadrons light up ditches clear as can be. Both sets of those in amber are my preference in fog, dust, rain, etc. For clear conditions, the S8 is awesome. I've seen lesser light bars and was not impressed by their flashlight-like power. The S8, however, far exceeded expectations. I got the spot version for distance and to keep hood glare to a minimum, and it does not disappoint. It throws light waaaaay out there. (Yes, I measured it, and it's exactly waaaaay out there.)

Added the Yakima windshield to the fishing rack. It seems quieter but haven’t taken it out on the highway yet.

Put on the rear Arcus didn't have time this past weekend. I like the looks of these but they are light duty I'm sure one good smack will bend'em to shit.

I kind of prefer the stubby shape to the rear hooks vs. the front. Stubby to clear rear door. I have driven yet but the park sensors went in smoothly with the provide plastics brackets.

Eta... oh and I need to figure out a plate mtg. solution.

Rubi Falken takeoff wheels/tires on my 2 door sport with rubicon suspension.
I already have a spartacus stubby front bumper and was leaning between a full rear or stubby now i'm sold with a stubby! I love this look!
