What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[VICTOR ALBAR]

Just installed some carbon fiber interior pieces:

Wow, looks really good. May i ask, who makes them? thx

Assorted vendors on Amazon. Gonna send back a few of the pieces though due to poor fitment:

• The little piece that goes to the left of the steering wheel around the lighting control was made too small to fit right.
• The steering wheel pieces fit ok, but have really sharp edges that stick out (especially the bottom piece) so not comfortable on the wheel to the hand at all.
• The small piece that goes around the cup holders looks good but doesn’t fit inside the larger piece that runs around the shifter.

I have the full dash pieces that fit behind the steering wheel over the cluster, the piece that goes around the UConnect touchscreen, and the piece that covers that passenger dash, but thinking I’ll hold off on those for now. Fitment is good, but the passenger dash piece could be a hazard for the airbag, and it wouldn’t look right without all installed all the way across. Ordered a neat Jeep vinyl sticker for that, so waiting on that to come in.

Real nice job on the video you did... very steady hands you have.

It's actually @Bril's video from this post. He does a great job going step by step. I was able to key my lock in about 20 minutes and now I have the pin code so I could probably do it again in under 5. Huge money saver.

Started making my own hi-lift jack mount for my Cavfab tire carrier today:

Rum runner got tats updated and a bath.

Had to plug in an extension cord to the only plug in my garage—-in the ceiling. The Jeep makes a great step ladder. Haha.

Also realized—it’s all or nothing even it comes to the top. Either all the way up or all the way down. Won’t fit in the garage any other way.

Gonna attempt to install “EZ Flares XL” on my Jeep tomorrow. My paint has been getting abused with rocks, salt, and debris this winter up in New England, especially with some extra tire poke…which I like btw… So to help save my paint (and maybe some people driving around me) and increase DOT compliance, I’m gonna give these a go. I like how they look and that they are flexible so no biggie with hitting stuff off-road, and should help cut down on the rooster tails! I compared them to my current setup, and they should just cover my tread, so should be just right. Spent some time prepping the fender surfaces earlier. More to come…

Rock rails, everything else is on backorder and just slowly trickling in.

A few mods this week

 

[OU1BluJL20]

Added 1.75” @TeraFlex wheel spacers to make my wheels fit my oversized Bushwacker fenders.

How do you like the Bushwacker fenders….been thinking about these to add a little more clearance. I already have spacers against against Willys wheel on 285/75s. How was the fender install?

They look really good only thing is you have to get inner liners. The install is easy.

Ok, did the install on this. First impression - I’m very pleased with the results. Came out just like I hoped, and the color of the flares is a perfect color match to the stock fenders - I mean, really dead on. My wife didn’t even notice I installed them at first. She was like, “Oh, those weren’t there before?”

For installation, you really have to take your time to get everything lined up right the first time, and really work them with a lot of hand pressure and the heat gun as you go. Watched “Vector Offroad JK” video of these before installing, very helpful. I also used a 1-inch wallpaper hand roller to really work them up in there to ensure no air bubbles and best adherence, and especially around the little nutserts that hold the fender covers on. After an hour of letting them sit, I tried messing with them to see how good they were on there - no give; they are on there pretty darn good! Only time, road debris, and car washes will tell, though! Regardless, I had to try something to battle these nasty New England roads! Here’s before and after:

Those look pretty good! Much better than some of the other add-a-flare styles I've seen

I left it in the garage again... too risky out in the cold cruel world for such a nice Jeep

Thanks, yeah, they came out pretty good! One package is enough to do 2 fenders, and each had at least 2-3 feet of slack to work with vs what I actually needed (you trim the excess after you put them on). So you have to get two packages to do all four fenders. I used the “”XL” 2 inch ones. They have 1 inch ones, but those are more for cars instead of trucks.

Really cuts down on rooster tails, debris marks on paint, and hassles come inspection time!
