What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Mantacon]

Attempted to install my Rockslide Engineering steps and broke the first body bolt. Not really sure how I'm gonna get it out. Anyone know if it's ok to drive still?

Little free tire rotation and first oil change thanks to Jeep Wave. Re-checked my welds again, took pics, and they reported my VIN. I got to look under the JL with it up a little higher, and in spite of a lot of mud up in places it shouldn’t be, not too many dings, dents, scraches, or scrapes I wasn’t already aware of.

I also checked my Synergy wheel spacers and they are holding up perfectly. Super pleased with them.

That really sucks buddy. Wish I could help but afraid not. Thankfully mine came out OK. I was sweatin bullets tho.

Poison Spyder things in the works, may need to start a build thread!

Hopefully your bumper didn’t come dinged up like mine. Brawler bar and shackle tabs had chips in the powder coating. Luckily they got a replacement out to me...in less than a week (worried I was going to have to wait another 8 weeks!)

This should help. He broke a bolt installing steps too. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/broken-body-mount-bolt.8835/ I found it by clicking on search, entered broken bolt for the keywords to search on.

In my mind I did everything to it. However, in reality, I did nothing because I am in waiting hell! The pain is real! At least I can live vicariously through you all until I get it.

My wife made our JL an ornament for the tree.

That guy went to the dealership. Hoping to avoid.

Were you using an impact wrench?

Nope, just a 3/8 ratchet

Eash, you must be really strong or it was broke already. I could barely get mine out with breaker bar, impact guns wouldn’t budge it.

I just ordered mine, would you say it makes a big difference on the highway?

I have not tried the firm setting for highway yet but the medium setting is great and quite a bit better than stock.

Installed an ARB single air compressor under the hood with the awesome help of @Kansascoast who supplied me with a mounting bracket and then coached me through the wiring process! A big thanks to him. The ARB I installed was one I had previously purchased and was a portable model but it’s now tucked nicely under the hood and wired to the AUX bank. @Kansascoast originally designed a mounting bracket for a ARB twin but with a few new bolt holes drilled in the mounting plate it worked just fine for the portable single compressor.

I believe there are a total of 10 body bolts, you should be OK. Get it removed and replaced as soon as you can.

It is good! No issues. Sorry about the bad luck, but glad they got it resolved.
