Thanks for sending me to this thread from the AEV bumper thread! you have a great build. Your info is super helpful for me trying to fit one of these bumpers. time to stalk the markeplace. one was posted for 200 like 7 weeks ago... we will see if its still avaialble.
thanks guys for posting the install of your aev cod bumpers... i have seen a few pop up on the marketplace. i'd like to try out this mod over an ebay rubicon 10A bumper.
It looks like I am ready to get my jeep painted again...
I had the hood and 4 doors/hinges painted last year under warranty. the paint didn't match, so they painted the whole jeep except for the bed.
I saw a bit of paint bubbling on the hood and one of the hinges getting a small bubble so i...
Thanks for posting these... I am hoping to get these and paint match to my Gobi. I wish i could do it now becuase the grey Analog HD's are $162 each right now.
This looks sick, If you see this post, are you still happy with the color choice?
this is a great idea! I have been shuttling bikes in the bed, but i've seen too many Commencals with broken downtubes. They don't waranty frames if you shuttle. i'd like to get a hitch mount, but I might be able to get away with two on a hitch and three in the bed.
I have two boys, often...
I really don't need one of these steel bumpers yet... but prices on the knock offs are down to $300 on ebay... While I shoud stay patient and wait of a deal on a used mopar, the price is tempting!
how were your experiences with install and fit/finish?
I have a 2020 rubicon with 61,xxx miles on it.
I didn't rotate my tires in way too long (20k + miles) things were fine until road noise was getting worse this summer... by the time i took a look and rotated, the front stock falken at's were cupped pretty badly. the rears were fine.
the jeep...
assuming that this rack is tslot compatible, sell the mopar one on fb marketplace and get the bakrevolver. it is better than the mopar one in every way.
I also need to quiet my interior... I will try this once the rain stops.
Has anyone tried this way to add weatherstrip around the windshield and caulk the seam on the back side of the window frame?
final update... it took three times, but they got it done!
The second time they did the work, the paint matched great... on the entire tub, doors, fenders, windsheild and cowel pieces... but they did not paint the hood. I just got it back from them doing the hood again and made it right.
I saw it in the body shop today, they scuffed and are painting the entire side of the jeep, fenders, hood, doors, body. they said they will not need to paint the bed becuase they will fade the area behind the door to the bed. we will see. the service manager said they will also paint the...
Gobi is rare, so I’m guessing they just mixed up whatever the paint code calls for. Iirc, the touch up paint pens don’t really match either. Hopefully they figure it out without me getting too involved.
i don’t
Didn’t take too many pics, here is another shut down the side
here us another...
It was a dealer paint shop.
What could go wrong with the prep? They said they have a separate area for alluminum panels to prevent contamination of the metals.
I assume they removed the panels, removed the hinges and handles, sanded down the paint down to fresh metal under the hinges, primed...
the only work was done on the doors and hood, so i imagine that it will be fine as long as they prepped it right.
I need to find out how long this is waranteed. I imagine i def have the paint and corrosion for what is left of its 5 year coverage.
I think i will. we will see what they say
to...
I’ll give them a chance to make it right before going to corporate… but I want it to look right.
I’m not surprised it’s not great. When I booked the work in September, the earliest I could get in the ship was January. I waited till school vacation week last week. I dropped it off last...
