Got it all installed just need to route the wires to the front shocks and then the battery and she’s set. Need an alignment for sure. Even with the measurements from metal cloak it’s still not perfect.

I don't have my JL yet, it will be delivered any day now, but to prepare I swapped out my brother in laws smittybilt off his TJ he's selling for a cheaper Xbull. I want the smittybilt for the JL. I did swap the fairleads and the synthetic lines tho. I liked the colors better from the xbull.

I built my DIY 4 way inflation/deflation system.

Left it connected to all tires for 30 min and zero air leaks with no change in air pressure (didn't have a snoop bottle). I was able to make it the way I wanted, the lengths I wanted with the parts and features I wanted at considerable savings ($130) compared to purchasing from the pros.

This looks great. Do you have a build thread or parts list?

Thank you!

No I don’t. However the biggest suggestion I can say is use 1/4” flexzilla hose 50’ will get you about 5’ extra for a 4 door. Don’t use 3/8” hose, the bulk is way more when rolling up for storage and cost more. It isn’t going to improve inflation times to be of value.

I ordered a 2.5”, 2” and 1.85” gage to compare sizes for the manifold I used. I kept the 2” but people might like the 2.5” for easier reading or want a digital.

I choose the expensive Haltec H-5265 standard bore lock on closed system air chuck at $12 each. But you can get 4 ARB style air chucks for about $18 for the set that also work. I just didn’t want the ARB style levers to complicate storage or get hung up on the soft flexzilla during storage. Just make sure they are close not open type. Open will leak air from other wheels when one gets disconnected.

Installed N-Fab Podium Steps…wish they would follow the slight contour of the JLU toward the rear, but they still look pretty good.

Picked up my JLU High Tide yesterday! Already replaced the factory antenna, installed more grab handles and removed the “high tide” decal! It’s already in the shop today to get tint, ceramic and rust proofed! I am obsessed

Awesome. They come in two boxes - sliders in one, and brackets in the other. Mine took about 7 weeks from order so just have patience. They're heavy (as others have stated) but fit and finish is top notch. Enjoy!
Good to know I put in an order recently as well.

Thank you @Megawatt !!! I have the more expensive chicks just sitting at home ( I’ve been planning on this for a while) but didn’t know what hose to get. I think I saw springs near your Chuck’s, what did you use for that?

TY!!
