    Trail Damage to Tail Gate

    I should have been running one of Eddie's hitch stingers this weekend, but I wasn't! (I'm no photographer and found it hard to get it to show well) Coming back down the opposite direction, I caught my 35 and creased my tail gate. Now the weight of the spare causes the gate to flex when I...

    Lift Upgrade Advice

    I'm looking at going from an Evo 2.5 Enforcer up to the 3.5 Enforcer on my JLU sport. I already have a Synergy adjustable front track bar that went in with the sector shaft brace. My control arms are stock, and I see the 3.5 comes with the rear trackbar relocation bracket. Looking for advice...

    2018 JLU Fitting Tires and Rims W/O a Lift

    Here’s a shot of my mother’s Sport S. It’s on 315/70r17 BFG KO2s. Street driving is fine and they don’t rub at all at full lock, however it has never been off-road and I guarantee it’d rub pretty badly if it were off-road. Actual tire sizes can very a decent amount. I have 315/70r17 Nitto...

    Trektop NX

    Here’s the updated 1 piece weather stripping that replaces the 2 piece design that came with the top. It fits securely and I don’t think it’ll fall off anymore. Also no gap with gate closed.

    Trektop NX

    Here's a pic of what's going on with the tailgate bar That sagging weatherstripping is supposed to be the "fix" for the tailgate gap people were having. It came in my kit but won't stay put. I keep putting it back on and it keeps falling off. I talked to Bestop today and they say it has...

    Trektop NX

    Tektop NX installed last night. Very simple, and straightforward. Took two of us a litte under 3 hours to finish it up. Used the instructions which are only "ok" imo. The bestop install video is very good though. Here's a few shots.

    Mod Effect on MPG

    I'll start by stating the obvious: I didn't buy a JLU for gas mileage but... Out of curiosity what kind of mileage are you guys/gals seeing lifted w/ bigger tires? I'm only averaging about 13.5 on the EVIC (admittedly need to hand calculate to see how accurate that is). JLU Sport 3.6l 8...

    Rear "Bumper"

    Darn, my search-fu was weak! I tried to find opinions of Ace on here and came up empty so thought I'd give it a whirl. On the JL version it's all 1 piece. The section behind the D-ring mounts is boxed and slides over the frame rails. On the driver side you use the stock hardware from the...

    Rear "Bumper"

    I had removed the stock rear bumper when I relocated the license plate to the middle of the spare. Just installed the Ace hammertown rear armor that I picked up during black Friday deals. I like how it looks, plan to paint the rear pinch seam eventually. Just need to get some shackles for it.

    Today's Activities (Shocks & Front Bumper)

    Spent some more $ on the JLUS. Today was primarily shock day! Installed Fox Performance 2.0 IFP's all the way around, as well as Ace Engineering front inner fender liners. Took it for a 2 hour round trip on the hwy & back-roads and it feels FANTASTIC! Way better than stock shocks w/...

    Shocks??

    I want to order shocks this weekend to ditch the extensionsin my lift and am hoping for some help. I have the 2.5" evo enforcer stage 1 w/ shock extensions. Do I just order a shock advertised for 2-3" of lift? Or do I need to measure and get exact w/ extended & collapsed lengths? Am I...

    Couple JLU Projects Finished Up Today

    Here's a good example of just that, with the quake led headlights. They are 7" and there is clearly a large ring filling said gap! Again, didn't realize that. Unfortunate

    Couple JLU Projects Finished Up Today

    Inner Fenders Not sure if they would have rubbed while flexing or not, but now I don't have to worry about it... I'll likely rattlecan bedline the rears and haven't decided if I'll do some aftermarket fronts or leave them open (what do you guys think?). And I'm toying with the idea of trimming...

    2.5" Evo Enforcer Stage 1 w/ Shock Extensions JLU Sport

    Evo Lift Got 'er all installed yesterday. 2.5" Evo Enforcer Stage 1 w/ Shock Extensions '18 JLU Sport. The kit was missing some hardware, which I purchased at Lowes to make it happen. I'm sure Evo would have sent it out but I didn't want to wait, just impatient I guess! Took me several...

    Hidden Garage Door Opener

    I know this has been done before, but just thought I'd show off the little mod I did tonight. I soldered up a momentary switch from Amazon to the universal garage door opener that I'm using in the jeep.

    Could definitely use a lift! Got the 315 trail grapplers installed at the dealer (worked in as part of the trade deal), but no lift yet. Still researching and trying to decide. Thanks for the review and giveaway!
