The Grille guard is supposed to go on face in the other direction. other than that it looks good.

Thanks for the video. Just added this. You're spot on about the Rubicon. It's $20k of MOPAR stuff you'll take off and replace with $7k worth of other stuff anyway. And I agree; the Sahara is the perfect trim level for a daily driver. But that bumper is the one piece of Rubicon kit that beats the rest. Like someone else said, try it with the end caps off. Takes 5 min with a torx and you can just put them back on if you don't like it.

Looks good. When I started watching was thinking why? It looks good with original bumper. After you finished, wow. Now I am thinking about doing same.

It looks good with that bumper especially with the red tow hooks against the blue background. I've been contemplating the same purchase or an aftermarket aluminum bumper. Thanks for s!haring

Those riv nuts you got, looked far easier to install than the ones that I installed on my 2014 RAM, when I bought the factory wheel to wheel side steps that I installed after I bought it.

Nicely done. Have a look at the bumper with the end caps removed. I prefer it that way on mine. You can always put them back on if you like.

I’m a new Wrangler owner. Going to do the same to my 2021 Sport S. Quick question. I recently bought a Milwaukee m12 fuel ratchet, what size sockets and bits do you think I will need to do common modifications on my Jeep (ie Remove Top, replace bumper, maybe replace headlights)?

You mounted the bumper grille guard backwards, it's supposed to lean forwards. Maybe you like it that way? If that's the case then ignore my comment.

Have you gotten your steering problem taken care of yet? Just learned that the JL’s are coming from the factory with the wrong programming, causing this problem. It’s programmed for a two door, not the unlimited. The dealer can update the pcm to correct the problem. Found this out by another person with a JL.

I the grille bar is backwards as per Mopar instructions. That’s why some of the steel is not flush to the bumper. Easy fix though.

Holes line up either way, the base of the bar does not jut out into open space when it’s installed correctly. Also the directions clearly illustrate with a huge arrow which way to install it, just sayin’

I had a couple questions, seeing if you have experienced these yet, 1. Alpine "Crackling" sound, notable on talk radio. 2. Whine from either the engine or transmission
@fiero8806 жыл бұрын
No whine from the transmission. I will say you can here a slight droning noise from the rear exhaust when letting off the throttle when stopping or going around a corner. Its very minor and just due from what appears to be a larger muffler than the JK. The Audio Crackling issue I did have. I call it a moderate vibration. And mine was bad enough you could feel it through the steering wheel as if the speaker was directly mounted to the steering wheel. Many people have said the fix was putting foam and sealant around the drivers side front speaker connector and gray plastic piece. Oddly enough I brought this to my service manager when we first looked at the steering issue. While duplicating the issue he notice the plastic panel that you remove when taking the door off, was rattling really bad. He temporary put a piece of foam wedged between the plastic piece and the drivers door connector and my vibration is gone for the most part. If I crank my stereo up to the near max with some thumping music I can feel a minor music vibration out of the steering wheel which I feel is expected at that level.
@gta4viceman6 жыл бұрын
Okay ill see If I can have that looked at with my service guy this week as it sounds more frontward then exhaust end. Ive seen it called multiple names but glad to hear its not just me, probably some bad batch of speakers from Alpine, I see what they can say other than that this jeep has been awesome these first 500 miles and cant wait to start seeing the mods roll, definitely looking forward to your mods for some possible ideas.
