What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[Arterius2]

Flipped over my off road led light bar....better gas mileage I bet....

Flip it again front/back and you would get even more gas mileage...

Took delivery of my 2019 JLUR and installed Method 702 wheels on it

I installed the new Teraflex adjustable spare tire carrier.
After swapping my stock wheels for the KMC XD 137FMJs a couple weeks ago, I didn’t like the way the tailgate felt when closing it. It just wasn’t closing as solidly as it did with the stock wheels. I have been running BFG 35x12.50 KM3s on the optional Rubicon wheels, as that was the way the dealer set up the rig; along with the Mopar 2” lift. I should note that my Jeep also came with the Mopar tailgate reinforcement bracket.
I did the now-standard bump stop mod with PVC pipe and rubber chair leg feet, but even that didn’t firm up the tailgate closing feel that I was looking for.
The new wheels have more offset which resulted in the tire/wheel assembly being ~1-1/2” further aft of the tailgate. That difference coupled with the soft but stops left the tire feeling a bit sloppy when closing the tailgate. And a rather large gap between the tire and the tailgate.
As I was researching an alternative tire carrier I found the Teraflex carrier, and it seemed to hit on all the concerns I had.
I’m happy to report that it was a very straightforward installation the the results are exactly what I was looking for.
The tire/wheel is even closer to the tailgate than the stock setup was. And now the tailgate has none of the twist and bounce that I had with the aftermarket wheel setup. The tire position is slightly lower, and the brake is moved, which results even better visibility out the rear window. It’s almost, dare I say it, car-like!

Here’s a tip if you decide you wanna do this installation....
I was concerned about scratching up, the new camera tube so I found a scrap of 2” ABS pipe that perfectly fit over the camera tube and allowed the wheel to slide into position by sliding on the sacrificial ABS rather than scratching the beautiful finish on the camera tube. Now I’ll carry that scrap with me just In case I ever have to actually use the spare, so I don’t mess up, the pretty finish.

Here are some before, during and after photos.

I am sure they won't affect that at all.

They don’t

Removed Rubicon stickers, put all my prior car goodies in after picking it up last night, and put the rear cargo tray that I ordered in. Sill guards and grab handles should get her Friday.

Looked nicer with the Rubi Stickers. Why did you take them off?

 

[mer43]

I have the same shocks. Do you know what inner-liners you are going with?

American Adv Lab is working on a Falcon shock insert as soon as he gets a jeep to the shop. JCR also makes a pre-fab'd set for the falcons

Finally got my wheel done.... I really like these dirty life wheels, but didn’t really like the all black, with yellow zinc plated bolts. So I primed and painted the rings, and got some stainless bolts and washers......

Looks good! Love my dirty life wheels too!

Looks great! Make sure you put some grease on the threads to help prevent electrolysis corrosion from the stainless bolts/aluminum wheel. Any grease should be fine. Just not the stuff with metallic particles in it. Stainless and aluminum is dissimilar enough, electrically, it makes a battery.

Nice work there. The rings make a nice accent to them wheels.

Okay! After never done a mod in my 57 years, I have done 3 in the last days; 13" antenna, moved by 3rd break light (so my kayak fits), and installed RedRock 4x4 Side Armor w/ Step Pads. Did the last one today and probably did every mistake a newbie can do so took probably 2.5 hours! Most embarrassing thing (but I will admit it here!) was I backed over one of my Side Armors when turning the Jeep around. It bent. Jeeps are apparently heavy... Drown down to the local transmission guy who saw my sad face and offered up a heavy duty vice where I could bend it back. All good and the Jeep is getting ready for its journey down to Baja California Sur, Mexico, later this month where we are building a house and will live full time. Exciting, and a great environment for Joe!
