    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Got it all dialed in yesterday afternoon. Had to make some modifications to the front Artec skid plate mount since some PSC Steering system brackets get in the way. Many skid manufacturers seem to use the same mounting point for the oil pan skid and will likely encounter the same issue. Had to...

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Life stopped the build for about a week. Took the Jeep home and spent some time adding a GMRS radio. Decided to go with a Midland MXT-275 since most of the interface is on the mic. I installed the radio on the back of the glove box and tan a mic extension cable to the bottom of the dash. Used an...

    Getting pretty close to the finish line. some final adjustments, and a few final touches and it’s close to done. Ran into some more issues with backordered parts but for the most past, I was able to find everything

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Some solid progress after a week or so of sourcing hard to find brackets and miscellaneous parts. These big builds are challenging far more challenging these days when only half the specialized parts are in stock and vendors are short of labor. Anyways long arm brackets were burned on: A few...

    Skid Plates

    I just bought the Artec aluminum skid plate kit for the JL. Sound that maybe it’s more than I really needed. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’m probably 1.5 weeks from being ready to mount them. I’ll throw some pics when it gets to that point.

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    I’m not sure. I’ve heard it’s > 3 months. I was lucky enough to find this set used. That’s part of why I am missing a bracket. I need a front passenger side control arm bracket as the last owner decided to do 3 link in the front. Artec hooked me up with a bracket that would work this morning...

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Got all the parts in and decided to make some big changes. I’ve decided to proceed with an Hemi swap but am stuck between a 392 and a Hellcat (maybe even a demon) swap. I have some concerns about hellcat cooling at low speed under load. Anyways while I’m thinking it through, the build is...

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Made some progress today. I have to thank Eddie for the time he spends making his videos. Amazingly helpful. Rotated the sway bar motor. cut the bumper tusks installed the quarter pounder. installed the winch. Last mounting bolt towards the passenger side near the grill must have...

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Still waiting for the rear coilovers so I’ve been working on small perforance mods to convince myself not to do a 392 swap. the first thing I opted to try was the JB4 piggyback computer from Burger Motorsports. I tried one of these on my Audi RS7 as it was the only tune that was undetectable by...

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    still waiting for the main parts but a few miscellaneous pieces came in. Hard wired the radar detector above the mirror. Pulled power from the cigarette lighter.. Had to buy an adhesive mount form eBay and then modify it to work with the magnetic mount on the Escort Max360. A few minutes with a...

    6.4-liter V-8 JL Wrangler Rubicon 392 - How much would you be willing to spend?

    Thr markup is the new normal for the automotive market on anything that’s even remotely hard to get. I think $5k over msrp is reasonable right now. I got MSRP for a few cars I traded in over the last two months with over 15k miles on the clock. They were subsequently sold by those dealers for...

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Parts started showing yesterday so the install started this afternoon. First I’m trying the Voswitch system instead of an SPOD. I like the OEM mounting spots better. My JLUR didn’t come with the OEM Auxillary switches. Turned out nice and has a really nice OEM look. I also installed the Oracle...

    JLU stock halpgen headlights to LED

    I just put a set of Oracle Oculus lights in. Less expensive than the Mopars and definitely brighter. No ECU flashing or Tazer updates needed. It’s a true 9” light. It has halos but I think they are too bright and look a bit silly. Might disconnect those.

    Smokin’s JLUR build

    Starting from scratch. Sold my JK back in 2017 and have been through a few toys since then but always missed it. I have a long commute to work every day and was looking for a cheap commuter to keep miles off the other cars. Originally started looking at leases on gmc canyons and base keeps. A...

    40's -vs- 42's..... Ready.. Discuss!

    I’ve been lying to myself not to pull the trigger on a 6.4 Swap while everything else goes in two weeks from now. So far the 2.0 feels better than the 3.6 and that’s made me optimistic. Can’t say that it’s a good idea, but it’s what happened. Feedback on the 42’s is truly appreciated though...
