Looks good. You only need the painted fender and you have created a 4dr version of the yellow 2dr posted earlier.

Very nice, I like the contrast with the gray fenders, rather than body-color.

Mother Nature seems to send snow my way after I install a new mod on the JL...



Huge achievement tonight... was able to fit into my garage with around an inch to spare. Next achievement is the garage at work...

Rig is going to probably go down in height with bumpers, winch and skids... and the suspension will probably settle more

I was torn on the color matched fenders... it looks amazing depending on the color, but I wanted more black contrasts. Plus the plastic won't get as beaten up when I wheel

CCColtsicehockey

Yeah I don't think one looks better than the other really. Which as much black accents you have on it it flows really well.

That is some excellent garage clearance.

where did you spot me?

I saw you on 50 making a left into the shopping center that has the 7-Eleven.

You might have recognized me if I was in the truck, but my Civic is as basic as it gets (completely stock).

Incredible

Front bumper and skid is next on the list...

CCColtsicehockey

Did your spare tire rack come in yet?

SHYUperman

iTrader: (1)

Followed up with Expedition One two weeks ago and they said probably another 10 weeks

CCColtsicehockey

Damn you would think you were ordering a rare JDM parts straight from the motherland

SHYUperman

iTrader: (1)

Seriously... I was quite amazed when I had the T4R and learning the wait times for aftermarket parts (Gobi is a good minimum 16 weeks). Jeep parts are in stock and ready to ship.

So it's been 5 weeks since I placed the order. They said they were still catching up to their black friday orders and they're hiring more staff to improve turn around times. Hopefully it won't take another two months

A few updates:

Swapped out my Falcon 2.1s for 3.3s (adjustable reservoir shocks)
Painted and installed my Motobilt diff covers
Installed Rockhard LCA skids







Installed my new front bumper and skid, still need to finish installing my winch rope



More skids to be installed for my first wheeling trip at the end of the month.

CCColtsicehockey

Looking good. Hasn't taken you long to build another beast of a Jeep.

First time back at Rausch Creek in about three years. Weather was cold and rainy in the morning and when we left. But great times as usual

CCColtsicehockey

Awesome. That looks like a heck of a lot of fun.

Went camping over Father's Day weekend, did some hiking at Seneca Rocks in WV.





My rear bumper/tire carrier finally finished and shipped. Slowly waiting for it to make its way from Utah.

One happy achievement was Jeep sharing one of my IG pics on their account -

Looking good. Can't wait to see the new rear bumper tire carrier once it arrives.

That is cool getting Jeep to reshare your picture.

five months of waiting and it's finally here

Love it, how's it perform compared to your JK?

CCColtsicehockey

Five months for a cardboard box damn. :wink:

I mean at least it will go on before Acks big box

SHYUperman

iTrader: (1)

Thanks, night and day. A lot of lessons learned from the JK when buying this JL. Just sucks with the long wait/limited selection and higher prices on mods. Going to beef up the steering after I install the bumper.

How's your build going?

1StGenCL

Nice, glad to hear and we bought a house that I've gutted, nothing is happening on the Jeep front

SHYUperman

iTrader: (1)

Congrats on the house though

1StGenCL

Thanks, it's a real project but my wife hasn't left me yet so that's a plus.

Love cruising around in the Jeep but wish we had more trails/rocks, sucks to not really be able to use it. I know a couple of the guys from a local group are heading up to Windrock but I really wanted to get some flooring done.

Really, really love yours.

I had to do a double take
I thought you said your wife left you and that's a plus

Here are a few pics of the rear bumper/carrier installed. Still waiting on backordered parts for the backup sensors.




Spending the week in OBX

That last picture from the OBX? I'm staying in the last group of houses, right before the road ends and you drive on the beach, in a couple weeks.

Those two inner sensors will catch the tire...

This car has given me a completely new level of appreciation for the color yellow.

How does it compare so far compared to your old JK?

SHYUperman

iTrader: (1)

Thanks, it's a huge improvement compared to the JK. The new tranny makes a world of difference and they just made it more refined. Lots of lessons learned from the JK and glad I bought a rubicon.

That's my fear, there are a few bumpers on the market that do run into this problem. Talked to Expedition One and they said that it should work for up to a 40" tire. I can still move the tire position up a little more, but also re-arrange the sensor brackets to help with the false positives. Just a pain that I might have to uninstall the carrier and bumper to install/test the sensors

Yup, nice, enjoy OBX

CCColtsicehockey

That thing look pretty badass

CCColtsicehockey

Have you thought of those ring third brake lights I have seen everyone running lately? The ones that go inside the spare.

SHYUperman

iTrader: (1)

Yup, I was debating it when I was looking at third brake light options, but ExpOne ended up throwing in one for free due to the long wait.

They have a prototype that has the license plate, third brake light and back up camera together. Waiting to see how it looks.

Why didn't I get the Rubi? Why did I buy this house? Hell, why did I get married

Looks GREAT!
