What did you do TO your Jeep JL today?

[TarheelTrails]

Installed rear seat incline kit. Definitely made the rear seats more comfortable for the kids. Added about 4-5 degrees of slope to the seats which is noticeable.

A few complaints though, as the kit required some of the factory holes to be widened in order for the bolt holes to align properly. This was a major PITA. Made a 20 minute job into an hour and a half.

Also, now my Mopar floor mats need to be trimmed to clear the spacer blocks. Not too excited about having to do this either.

Also discovered that the previous owner had apparently installed rear heated seats! Had no idea, haha

Drove across the Currituck Sound bridge into the Outer Banks and thought it was raining. Apparently it was a mile-wide swarm of... Mayflies?

What made you choose synergy's springs over metalcloak's? I see the flat ends you were taking about, but we're there any other reasons? I've started to shop around for a lift kit and I'm leaning towards Metalcloak's, but it won't be any time soon just yet.

I like metalcloak a lot, and I was originally going that route but i REALLY liked the 3" spring option. 2.5 was going to lower me from the Mopar springs and 3.5" just makes 37's look small.... and I didn't want to have to start thinking about drag link flips and all that other stuff that accompanies 3.5+ inch lifts. Also, I liked that the Synergy springs were softer than most springs, giving me the option to tune how hard the ride is with the firmer than normal falcon 3.3 shocks. Metalcloak, for reasons that only they could answer (and they know way more than me) are one of the few companies I know of that runs a stiffer spring and soft shocks whereas the balance of other companies run softer springs and tune the ride with the shocks.

Plastic Dip lower fog light housing so it’s not so in your face silver !!

Be warned though I rushed it and broke an internal clip lower left / right side with a weird rivet built into bumper attached to housing, even though it appears it’s not needed as there is a plastic deep clip in next to it ...unless you come from inside bumper I think you almost have to break it unfortunately

Love how they original plasti dip is the same color as the actual fog light plastics .... Think it looks more natural now as a result

I want to do that also. IMO those silver pieces are the least desirable part of the Sahara.

It’s silly easy however kinda a double edge sword spraying them is tricky and redid them both about 3x because of drip marks or missed spots..but def better than stock

Decal installed and have my air tank mounted in the jeep. I fastened the tank bracket to a Fishbone Offroad storage bin for the wheel well.

Going to have to keep an eye on the stoage bin and tank during an offroad trip next weekend to see how stable it is. Fingers crossed that it works, but this might not be a superb long term solution. Time will tell!

Which side markers did you install, and are you happy with them? My Bikini JLUS is on order and that is one of the early mods I plan to do. I prefer the white over smoked but they seem to be less popular, and it looks like yours are white.

How loud is the rock crawler?

It's a nice tone - the top and doors are off til Fall, so I really like it and rarely go faster than 50ish on the roads around us so I don't notice the drone folks mention...tell ya what though - when the engine shuts off at a stop it's extra weird now!

Can try and get a sound clip from it soon! I keep forgetting.

KC lites...Quadratec LED cubes...and a dead pedal (love the artsy Jeep grille/headlight symbol on it)...

Hood struts, super easy install nice little feature

Agree. I’m loving mine too. Couldn’t wait till Redline came out with the complete bolt on kit.
