I moved on from my JT a year and half ago. Didn’t want to but had to go to a F250 for my camper. However, I recently got back into the Jeep world with a 2020 JL and I knew I wanted a set of grab handles from @darksidedesign just like I had on my JT. So, I ordered front and headrest grab handles...
No obstacles, and it was very dry. I didn’t find any water or mud, though I’m not sure the last time we had any rain. It was kind of a boring day with all the trails dried up, but it was a beautiful day and I still had a nice time.
Badlands Apex installed today. It was pretty easy. Pro tip ??‍♂️? make sure to connect the ground wires to the back of the winch before you mount it! This comes up in the second set of instructions, wiring the winch, after the first set, mounting the winch, in the installation guide. Even with...
I’m at the dealership now for my second Jeep Wave. I’ve had good luck with this service department over the years with my JLU, RAM 1500 and now my JT. However, they just came out and apologized for the wait (I’ve been catching up on the forum from the past week and hadn’t even realized it’s...
Finally got around to installing a couple Black Friday purchases, the Rugged Ridge HD Full Width front bumper and skid plate. Now just the Badlands Apex is left.
Skid plate installed. Had to take the bumper off to do ????‍♂️ too bad I didn’t realize that yesterday! Anyway, turned out great. Now just the winch left.
So I got a little busy the last few months. Finally had time to install (some of) my Black Friday purchases. The Rugged Ridge HD Full Width bumper was pretty easy to install with the x-striker bar. Im happy with how it turned out. Here are some pictures I took during the install...
Ok, I opened the boxes. All looks great. It’s like Christmas over here:
Rugged Ridge Full width HD Bumper:
Rugged Ridge X-striker bar:
Rugged Ridge Front Skid Plate:
Rhino USA recovery gear and bag (not from jeepandtruckparts):
I’ll post pics once it’s installed. Upon a quick look...
I didn’t open them but they were in the rugged ridge boxes. I got their full HD front bumper, x-striker bull bar and skid plate. I didn’t want to mess with opening the boxes until I have time to install, but I’ll take a peak tonight and let you know.
All three items arrived from FedEx today. Everything looks legit but I haven’t unboxed them yet. I won’t have time to install until tomorrow at the earliest. Also ordered the Badlands Apex winch from Harbor Freight. Still waiting for that to arrive too. I’ll post up pics once I install...
