23 JL

[Ianste]

Picked it up a couple of weeks ago.

It’s a 2023 JLU Rubicon with the XR package. Right on 90 days from sitting at the dealer building it out to delivered.

3.6 e torque, granite crystal, led, leather, steel bumper, cold weather group.

Gonna attempt to put some mileage on this thing before I decide if I want to take it any further in terms of suspension / going up in tire and everything that comes with that.

I’ve done a few small odds and ends in the meantime..

Mount from quadratec

Some extra storage in the back (I’ve got another one of these for the passenger side if anyone wants it. Couldn’t use it due to the sub.)

Stubby antenna

And a hitch to pull my trailer / kayak

Nice indeed. I really like the look of the JLs on the MOPAR Recon wheels.

I found a set of 1552s I like but the mopars do look pretty good.

Which 1552’s? I ran Turbomacs on my JLUR.

Between those or the range. I ran a set of their 3 pc Tarmacs on my Volkswagen a while ago. Always liked their stuff.

That’s a good look. I’m debating on going bronze. It’ll either be bronze or grey / gunmetal.

So it begins. I should’ve just ordered a non XR. Told myself I wasn’t going to touch it haha

Should be able to make a little bit back selling the XR take off wheels/tires

 

[3VOLVE]

Have you received the wheels yet?

 

[Ianste]

Have you received the wheels yet?

Yep. Should be picking the jeep up on Monday.

I was literally looking at these last night in black since they were on sale.. but alas, they had sold out.

 

[Ianste]

Was kinda on the fence making the switch but I like them a lot.

What are you doing with your take-off parts?

 

[Ianste]

A buddy got the take off stuff

Gonna throw on some diff covers and an oil/trans skid at some point this week. Gotta decide on what sliders I wanna go with..

Only thing im not loving right now are the stock fenders.

Are you going to pot your locker sensors while the covers are off?

Sensor Potting

It isn’t as necessary now that Jeep sells the sensor by itself. But $20 potting compound vs $300 sensor. I potted mine.
