What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Whaler27]

looks good, I believe another jeeper(can't remember where I saw it) put quickfist in place of those rubber stoppers at the top and mouted a shovel or a pick axe

edit: @Jeep Generation has it in the install video on the trailrax post https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/meet-the-trailrax-pak-rax-system.62873/post-1689880

Thank you. I watched that video, and it helped. The Trailrax system has evolved a couple times since that video was made, but the general layout is the same — at least I assume it’s the same, although I can’t figure out why it would be designed with a bumper/spacer on top that gets nowhere near the glass or the Jeep top, no matter what you load on it. I think I’d feel more confident if that bumper was sized and positioned to contact the Jeep like the bottom one does, because I think would reduce flex and vibration.

I may try the quickfist mount. I like the idea.

Installed the Hooke Road tube doors. Mostly! There's absolutely no way the door check straps were going to work. It seems like a manufacturing error of some sort, so I'll be following up with them to figure out my next step. But other than that, the doors DO fit and seem to work out quite well.

Does that mount to the bottom of the steel bumper like OEM?

yes it does - see

Finally got my front finished with Rugged Ridge Venator bumper, Warn VR Evo 10s winch, Factor 55 Ultra hook and Badlands D-rings. Love how it turned out and only dropped my front end .5 inches.

Lol! I just did the same install today!

Really pleased with how it turned out.

Finally got around to taking the end caps off my steel bumper. Only had it for a week and adore it.

Making my brother do all the work while I drink beer.

I agree, couldn't figure out the upper bumpers either. I was going to do the quick fist mod but my shovel isn't full size

Looks awesome! Install took a little longer than expected but it was worth it!

Picked up the jeep from dealership on Friday. Installed TuxMat floor mats, @ThinSkinz protectors, door sills, and stubby antenna.

Swapped out the very used rock sliders for a fresh set with more clearance.

Finally got my cavfab tire carrier installed that I ordered on black Friday. I had it powder coated flat black to try and match the aftermarket steel bumpers and rock rails, it's pretty close! Super happy to have the spare put of the back of the Jeep and on to the tire carrier. Still have my diff covers and diff skids to install, just waiting for the weather to warm up a little more before I do them because I will potting my sensors at the same.

What’s your license plate holder ?

That’s the one that comes with the cavfab tire carrier

@LCW

Can you tell me where you got that fantastic piece of cardboard. Possibly provide a link to it. Thanks!

Found a pre-owned piece on eBay for you, only $.99

Has anyone installed the EVO500 CAI by Injen? https://injen.com/i-30498666?q=

I have a 3.6 with eTorque and according to the "Notes" section it says " Does not fit on eTorque Models ".

I called Injen and the guy checked with their tech people. Came back and said tech guy told him "they did not install and test it on an eTorque engine, therefore they cannot confirm fit". All the suppliers list it as working with all 2021 3.6L engines.

Thanks for any input!

A quick search revealed this gentleman just installed an Injen CAI. Perhaps he can add some context.
