Thank you. It’s actually the holes meant for lights using the bolts and a few pieces from universal hilift mount.Love that front jack mount!
"BEAST MODE!!!" NICE!Finished installing my @ROAM coilover kit. It is adjustable from 4-8" of lift. In these pictures it is set to 8", but I will be lowering it back down to 4" next week so I can fit in my garage
lol like i was telling you bill i had a veryyy difficult time getting them off. went for 115 tq when after i rotated and everything is aok. i couldnt do 125 or even 120 lol. im 6'1 but only about 125 soaking wet. lean i call it! others call it skinny, either way at least i can eat whatever i want and not gain an ounce so that's something i guess lol.5,937 mi. on my JL. Did a tire rotation.
Dam, those lugs were tight.
When I put my Gorilla Locking System Lugs on a couple of months ago, I torqued to the FCA, recommended 130 ft/lb. This time I went to 125 ft /lb.
Holy chit! 8”!?!? Wow that’s a lot of lift, makes those 40’s look small.Finished installing my @ROAM coilover kit. It is adjustable from 4-8" of lift. In these pictures it is set to 8", but I will be lowering it back down to 4" next week so I can fit in my garage
Thanks! Yeah, i think i need to move up to 44s , Dana 80's, and a LS motor if I stick with the 8" lift. I dont think my wife will allow me to take out a home equity loan for all thatHoly chit! 8”!?!? Wow that’s a lot of lift, makes those 40’s look small.
This rig looks bad ass though.

Doin oil changes? Oh ya, she's a keeper.@BoisetheCat
To be honest with you, my gal pal (a petite gal that weighs 122#...) actually torqued the lugs for me, while I was busy doing something else on the JL. She used a 25" long, Mountain 16250 1/2-inch Drive Torque Wrench - 25-250 ft/lbs

She had no problem torquing to 125 ft/lb. Actually she would have no problem torquing to 130 ft/lb, but then I would play hell trying to loosen the lug nuts again.
By the way, I keep a 15" long breaker bar (1/2") with a socket in the JL, just in case I were to get a flat tire and need to crack/loosen the lugs.
Here is a recent pic of my gal pal, she was doing an oil change on my '01 Fatboy..

I was under the impression that the torque range for the M14x1.5 bolts that we have on the JLs was supposed to be 80-90 ft-lbs. When I put the Ram wheels on my JL the other day, I set the torque wrench for 88 ft-lbs for the M14x1.5 bolts that connect the JL to the adapters and 78 ft-lbs for the bolts that connect the adapters to the wheels. Those bolts are M12x1.5 and supposedly need 70-80 ft-lbs from what I read.lol like i was telling you bill i had a veryyy difficult time getting them off. went for 115 tq when after i rotated and everything is aok. i couldnt do 125 or even 120 lol. im 6'1 but only about 125 soaking wet. lean i call it! others call it skinny, either way at least i can eat whatever i want and not gain an ounce so that's something i guess lol.
