What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Muskylounge6801]

found a solution to hanging grab handles that get in your way and block your vision. I installed these heavy duty grab handles today. I’m pleasantly surprised in the quality!

Is this the correct link, they look pretty solid. Any drilling required? Asking for a friend.

Very nice, I carry a variety and it looks like that would work for all of my choices. Currently I just holster in the console if its not on me.

I have a SigSaur P320, i think my factory optic would not fit,

Ive seen a few vids of peeps musky fishing and ill be honest it looks super fun. It definitely creates a challenge landing a trophy fish.

I've caught trophy Northerns - Muskie's cousins - and they're always a fight. Ironically we've found that many times the trophy sized fish - 38" and up - will fight, run out the line a bit, but give in almost half as quick as the fish in the 30" to 36" range. Almost like they've had their share of getting hooked before and realize, "Eh, easier to get in the boat and get it over with."

You'd be surprised. The Sigs may have greater height over bore than Glocks, but look up the Roland Special - one of those with a 20 round extended mag can fit. I think you'd be alright

Can confirm. Fished Pike and Muskie a lot growing up. They hit like a truck then turn into a log on the way in. They also like to see if you're not familiar with that species and try to trap them by the lips like a Bass. Lol. You learn real quick they aren't.

In saying that, best fishing for me was going after Bass with an ultralight set up (1-3lb test) and finessing them into the boat.

Always a fun time trying to get the damn spoons out of their mouths when the moment they feel you reach in they start to clamp down! I just came back from a trip here in May where we started out using jaw spreaders and other fancy (read:rube) tools, but by the end once we'd lost them (think that may have been me kicking them out of the boat lol) we were handling dehooking with just gloves like old pros. Had a span on our third day where we pulled in a fish on every cast for over three hours, no more than two or three under 30". I think I'll be riding that high for the rest of my life!

The diesels, 4xe, 392s are all coming with the gladiator grills now. I changed mine on my 19 2.0l last fall and all of the temps seem to run a bit cooler now. Where I live air-temp gets up to 127F at the hottest in summer and I would routinely see oil, coolant, and trans temps in the 220s. We've only gotten up to 117F air-temp this year but I haven't seen engine above 210 yet.

So the last two days I did some long drives with hill climbs (climb up an 8% grade) this had the engine sustained around 3000rpms for 20-30 minutes. I did see oil and coolant in the 220s, but trans only got to 206.

I said Ill spend my own 1700 (much less) and buy 1/2 inch impact invest in some wiring tools and did it all myself. I cussed some, scratched some knuckles but I did it. Hopefully when I get back in town I can send some finished picts after a bath.

Jesus, I dropped my jeep off at the dealer without bumpers and they just charged me for 1 hour of service to install them, $188. I couldn't get to the bolts on my front without constantly dropping the bumper on me so I gave up.

Ive priced this, its not cheap. The question I have is when I research. They say that there is good, better and best products. How the hell do you know what your actually paying for.

Llumar and 3m are usually top tier. You’ll see their logos on the film (can be removed after). For the windshield 3m is thicker so hopefully more heat reduction there.

Installed a pistol holster from Wpngear. Got the idea from another forum on this site. Fits great, close by, but not intrusive, and out of the way/sight of most. Install was easy, just one bolt to swap.

God bless Florida and its people.

Yea- you CA guys have cool trails, but the gun laws suck. I’m actually over in AL now for the next 5 yrs.

Paddle shift...nice! How much were the parts?

 

[XJfanatic]

Im short and temped to get steps. I just really like the way the Rubi rockers look.

Me wife is short and swapping steps out for rubi rockers was one of the first things she wanted done on “her” JT.

Painted the first wheel today on the 392 that I picked up yesterday after waiting 7 months for it to be built. Four more to go.
