    ACM Bracket with ARB compressor: Simple under hood diy bracket for remote access

    The end After my first test fit. After installing the Quick Connect Coupler into my bracket and attaching the 1.5 m braided hose line using the jic-04 connections. The jic-04 male to 1/4" NPTM adapter was used to join the hose to the manifold T fitting on the ARB compressor. I did not...

    ACM Bracket with ARB compressor: Simple under hood diy bracket for remote access

    What parts do you ACTUALLY need. Hindsight is a Beotch!! So...I ordered the ARB Remote Hose Coupling Mount Kit (#1711314 - see above on left), but I really only needed the ARB quick connect coupler jic-04 (part #0740111, see pic below left side) and the 1/4" NPTM to jic-04 adapter (I believe...

    ACM Bracket with ARB compressor: Simple under hood diy bracket for remote access

    Here we go... What I used: A had a few Harbor Freight 48" Aluminum rulers (1 5/8" wide) laying around, so I started with that. Then I used a Harbor Freight metal brake, but a vise and hammer would work just fine. I used some aluminum spacers under the brake so I didn't damage the...

    ACM Bracket with ARB compressor: Simple under hood diy bracket for remote access

    I followed Eddie's write-up on installing an ARB compressor with the Wayalife ACM bracket (on my 2019 JLU Rubicon) and it worked great. But I wanted a different under hood mount for the pneumatic quick connect. Here's the finished product. If you like it, read on.

    Aux switch for 110 outlet?

    Has anyone run a 110 inverter outlet off of the Stock dash Aux switches? Was considering this to put a 110 outlet in the trunk of my JLU that I could turn on/off without getting off my a$$. Just for convenience. Yes I do have the 110 outlet on the back of my console and a cigarette outlet in...

    Low wiper fluid warning light

    Well, apparently the JL has a warning light to tell me I’m running low on windshield wiper fluid. So.... that’s a thing now.

    D Ring mounts anyone?

    Thanks for the pics! Looks pretty good. The install pics make it looks like you cut out a pretty big chunk of the steel front bumper. I'm wondering if anyone has used the Maximus-3 D ring mounts with the Warn winch plate. Anyone?? Anyone??

    2019 Jeep JLU Rock Slider Install - Rockhard 4x4 (pic heavy)

    Bring it on, you ba$tard!! So the best my brain could come up with was to try that set of 'easy outs' that I keep for just such as emergency. I pulled off the RockHard slider and removed all the hardware. Next I jacked up the Jeep chassis to separate it from the frame enough to get the body...

    2019 Jeep JLU Rock Slider Install - Rockhard 4x4 (pic heavy)

    Craftsman torque wrenches SUCK!!! Last night I thought I'd do the drivers side RockHard 4x4 slider. It should be easy and go fast because I figured out all the pitfalls on the passenger side. Right?!? I got the OE slider off and the RockHard 4x4 slider on with NO problems. I was on the last...

    2019 Jeep JLU Rock Slider Install - Rockhard 4x4 (pic heavy)

    ...almost done.....with one side.... I torqued the body mount bolts to 80 ft lbs (I read that somewhere) and tightened the rest of bolts VERY tight. It won't be coming off anytime soon. So here are some comparison pictures of the Jeep to contrast with the pictures earlier in this thread. I...

    2019 Jeep JLU Rock Slider Install - Rockhard 4x4 (pic heavy)

    ....continued.... Here's a pic of the slider laying on the floor ready to go up. It is very heavy/beefy and welds were great. Here is half of the hardware that came with the kit (ie. enough to install the one side) After trying to lift it into place so that the pinch seam bolts would go...

    2019 Jeep JLU Rock Slider Install - Rockhard 4x4 (pic heavy)

    Let's begin. First off, I received the 2 sliders and hardware well packaged. I printed off the installation pdf from the Rock Hard webpage. Here they are unboxed and laying atop a pile of crap in my shop. Also, here are a few pics of my Jeep (J1LL) with the OE Rubicon rock sliders prior to...

    2019 Jeep JLU Rock Slider Install - Rockhard 4x4 (pic heavy)

    Hey to everyone from NW Iowa. Tonight I installed the passenger side rock sliders from RockHard 4x4. They are the tubular Patriot series that are angled up. Cost $520 for the pair. In short, I had the exact same rock sliders on my 2010 JKU and really loved their durability and frame...

    Gladiator front camera on JL

    I want to put a front mount camera on my JLU and liked the washer sprayer on the Gladiator. Called up the dealership and asked what the mopar part would cost and the gal said that for just the camera it was around $1200. That didn’t include any wiring harness/hoses/etc. We both laughed and...
