What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[KingTtn1]

This is probably the best way to mount these instead of on the windshield based on how many times we have to replace them haha.

Dude, worked out perfectly...looks factory too. And the wires, so easy to run. You should get

@RCH, the Tow Loops are an easy install. Just be prepared to do some minor cutting/grinding on the bumper.

There are several posts, with photos, talking about the install in a few other threads.

First year - $1,250. Thanks El Paso County, CO

EDIT: Oh yeah, just regular plates too.

Like $45 in Ohio for a year!

This is cool. I see others have spoken up on mounting concerns for the belts so I'll leave that alone.

Your going to have to pay attention to the dates on the belts. Racing belts like those have expiration dates. I've seen people get ticketed for out dated belts when using them on the street and I'm sure a lawyer would have field day if you were in an accident with out dated belts. Just watching out.

Again, cool addition.

Thank you for looking out! I appreciate it! We aren't offroaders...just a mom and a dad with a bunch of kids living on the gulf coast of Florida. We're weekend Jeepers driving our local city roads, the beach, and the occasional Florida road trip. Our 4'10" 10-year-olds are loving the 3rd-row seat and the racing belts, so to have kids excited for road trips without any complaining...no matter what seat they're in feels like a win! And we feel super safe with the seat and racing belt addition.

With a soft top i didn't want anything to sound too loud. So i stayed clear of some of the louder ones. At idle it has a slight deeper bass sound than stock, and not really all that noticeable. But at around 2.5k RPMs is when you really hear the engine come to life. it has a nice throaty sound that isn't obnoxious.

i didnt want a honda or lawnmower sound. And as well, i didnt want a rumbling defining sound. I can happily say this is a nice upgrade from stock and sounds like what you would think a jeep should sound like. i went with the Magnaflow axel back and had no problems installing it myself with my daughter.

I noticed a nice pick up and go, as well as what seemed like more torque with the intake and exhaust. I drove around hot roding for a day and enjoyed the extra boost. But after putting on the lift and tires i think it kinda killed it. As far as i can tell, it just sounds and looks good now.

Paint.

I'd paint it. Black or white.

Does anyone make an aftermarket fender liner piece that doesn't rub (looks nice but is contoured differently)??

I've seen videos where people used a heat gun to warm it up and reshape it concave instead of convex - why not try that first?

I was trying to find a picture of the back of the media port to see what it looks like, but have yet to find a pic. I may have to pull it out. Most of these types still connect to something internally via some sort of USB port. It's not hard to modify to run a wire to another place. I've done this exact thing in a few vehicles. When it warms up some more around here, I'll pull it all apart and look around.

Been thinking about doing the same...

I am doing the rubi shocks tommorow. Does your ride any different?

When I switched my JLUR to 35s with steel wheels, it suddenly felt to me like the OEM red Rubicon shocks where struggling to control the wheels - they felt out matched. The 35s are a heavy tire (70 lbs) and the wheels are not light, but that was a surprise to me given that they are supposed to be an up-spec'ed shock. I have a lift in the crate waiting for some warmer drier weather to install and that lift comes with upgraded Fox shocks, so hopefully they will be stouter?
