What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[jhackathorne]

@CavFab_mfg Crawler Full length rear bumper installed. Bumper install was cake. Hardest part is trying to get sensors set properly.

Replaced the front adjustable LCAs with Clayton’s after the bushings in the Rough Country’s failed.

sounds like you have a parasitic draw that’s killing your batteries

That was my initial thought. But it's too intermittent. If it happened after it had sat for a day or two then I could see it but the first time it sat for 15 hours then ran fine for a week and a half. Than it sat for 3 hours. I havnt had the battery tested but my guess is just a dieing cell.

Do you have a taser installed?

Drove it to buy some bolts and blades before I started this project. Found out I’m getting stationed at FT Bliss this summer (another thread will be coming). That being said it’s crunch time in March/April to get the TJ up to snuff.

Out with the cross member that was cut and mangled. In with a new cross member and a bumper.

Thank you for your service!

Got back from a nice business/holiday trip downunder and had some bling waiting for me. Installed @Threedom door handles including tailgate. Great quality from these guys as always!

Before…

After…

Note the video instructions say to remove/unplug wiring… no need.

The rear latch…

Compliments the door hinge covers nicely…

The handle piece is a complete outer handle replacement? Looks great.

For info in regard to our custom door handles for the JL and JT, read here..
https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/🪛--custom-design-jl-wrangler-and-jt-gladiator-door-handles.84410/

Our Door handles are designed to replace the outer shell of the factory handle for Jeep JL Wrangler, Wrangler Unlimited, and Jeep Gladiators. We utilize the internal skeleton of your factory handle to serve as a base for our shells. The handles are compatible with proximity sensors and are available in many different textures. The handles are designed to add unique personalization to your Jeep.


Here's Gator Skin...

No, replacement piece is just the outer shell that is snaps in place of the OEM 'shell'.

I do... go on..

I installed my tazer and about a week later I woke up to a dead battery.. less than 2K miles on a brand new Jeep. So I have a sneaking suspicion something about the tazer kills the battery. My problem is I also have the RSE side steps so without a long term expirement without having one installed, I can’t tell which is draining my battery.

I can say that removing the tazer (still married) I haven’t had a dead battery yet, but I did get the “aux unavailable while charging” message

Hmm that's good info. Because this happened the first time less than a week after I installed the tazer. The jeep has 25k miles is 2 years old and lives in alaska..I took it as the stock battery couldn't handle the extreme colds. But I'm going to keep N eye on the voltage before I start the jeep over the next few weeks to see if it's low.

Clayton 1.5” springs, ended up with 3”
Bilstein 5100 for 2-3”
Mopar lift LCA (f you, 190ftlb bolts)
Mopar lift sway links
Gonna need to get a front track bar but otherwise everything else looks and feels ok
Drives great, tracks straight, totally level all around
Plan is to go to 35s, not sure I’ll need the Rubicon fenders now?

 

[Rubi6mt]

edit: don't know why but the picture order is all out of whack lol

Did a little damage to the Jeep on Crawl Daddy (Rausch Creek) yesterday. I swear those boulders come looking for me




Spent the day cleaning, touch up paint and a little rattle can. Looking pretty good again

The Tazer instructions say that after getting it married and set up you have to perform 2 sleep cycles. It says if you don't do the sleep cycles the EVIC may not shut off you will end up with a dead battery.

Installed the paddle shifters today. Activated with the Tazer.
