Hood shocks - I really like this mod

Lockable fuel cap. Just for peace of mind

Hello,
A couple of questions, I apologize if this was covered, I did not see who the vendor was for these items. Could you share maybe links or information on them?
thanks
Hood shocks:
Vendor information, and or link to item.

Lockable fuel cap:
Is the key for the cap keyed to match the factory key for your JT?
If so how was this performed?

Here you go:

Shocks/struts: https://a.co/d/9wa4ofF

Gas cap: https://a.co/d/bJhTP3N

You assemble the pins to match you key. I will try to find the YouTube video that shows the steps.

Quadratec has a link to one on their site.... I actually used this to key my locking gas cap, so pretty much anyone should be able to follow it.

That was the video I followed! Thank you for providing the link.

Is there a specific reason why the bumper needs to be removed?? I was modifying the exit for the wiring... so it comes on the side instead of the back,

and tested the winch with everything in place... It went in without issues...

Am I missing something??

I do know that I need to modify the locking handle... to avoid interference with the hoop.

Unless I am missing something, it looks like I can do the rest without removing the bumper...

Not able to finish today as the sky opened up and down came lightning and heavy rain... will finish tomorrow...

Well, I spoke too soon. Without the control box, bolts aligned perfectly... Once the control box was installed, I was off by about 3/16"... turns out that the front cut out is not completely straight and the corners would not allow the winch with the control box installed, to come forward enough.

Easy fix since this bumper is aluminum... straighten the front and it aligns fine now... just need to wait until everything dries up (never stopped raining last night)... to paint that border.

Also painting the logo black... I don't mind the fairlead to be bare metal, but I just do not like the logo like that. Black, like the rest of the cover, would be just fine. I have some wrinkle spray paint that I can use for that.

Almost there... modified the Locking/Unlocking handle. Installed the hoop. Secured the hitch with the bolts.

Only thing left to do is to hook up the power. Need to route the cables and install disconnect switch.

Oh... and then give it a good wash... it is dirty as heck... But hey, it is a Jeep...

Wires routed to the battery area. Nothing hooked up.

All bolts and covers buttoned up…

Just need to read a few threads on how folks wired these…

 

[wachuko]

Done… just need to tension the line…

Here we go...
