Would love to see pictures!This past week was busy.
After a mess up on the dealer / delivery side (They said my Jeep arrived, when in fact it had not and it was lost. They quickly found it and had it shipped. Arrived 10 days after initially saying it did) I took my Jeep home on 6/20. I immediately did the following this past week:
- Armorlite flooring - Install was actually pretty easy. After removing the first few trim pieces and seeing how with the right trim tools and not a screw driver / pry bar like I did in a previous life, everything came apart and went back together easily. Flooring fits perfect, no adjustment needed for its install.
- Seat jackers - Had to cut the armor lite flooring around the two spacers (only installed drivers seat) slightly to enlarge and have them sit hard against the floor.
- 13" stubby antenna - Like the looks but might go for a 15 or 17. The signal could be a little stronger.
- Door air deflectors - Again, easy install with a new clean jeep. Look good and like being able to have windows open when its raining or snowing to get air flow. Now just need to figure out a good way to hang doors when they are off
- Sill guards - Not much to say here, clean and put on, simple simple
- XG cargo bags - Same as above, easy install.
- Longer lower control arms - Just like everyone has said in various threads, torqueing these were difficult, just didnt have the throw with the long torque wrench. Had to torque from the bolt head for the passenger side. FYI for a 22 rubicon, these still need to be changed.
- LOD destroyer slides/steps - Install was a pain. Flag washers had powder coating in threads. I chased the threads with the bolts several times but still couldnt get it so could tighten bolt by hand which made the install of the two front brackets (passenger and driver side) a huge pita. After getting those in, the rest was pretty easy. I taped the carriage bolts to their backing plates, lifted the steps on a floor jack and did the whole install solo....in 3 hrs, so not exactly quick but a lot of that was walking back and forth to get the right tools.
- Front runner tailgate table - Installed solo again (really need to get the wife involved) removing tailgate trim, drilling, reinstalling all easy. Hanging the table and threading the bolts were tricky but got it done.
No pictures right now, but loving it. Went doors off and freedom panels off this whole weekend. Was a blast. Waiting on CMM mirrors to come in so I can go doors off more often.
