JL hood latch install on my wife’s 2dr JK Jeep Wrangler
Hey Folks!
Welcome to Sun Sand Overland!
In this video, I install some MOPAR oem JL hood latches on my wife’s 2016 Jeep Wrangler JK.
www.moparonlineparts.com/sku/jlhoodlatchkit.html
Part Numbers:
68240952AF x2
68240951AC x2
Her old latches were pretty faded and the Jeep needed a latch overhaul.
I watched three videos to gain enough confidence to start drilling into the hood of her Jeep. Ben from JK gear and gadgets, CPO o3dJeeps , and Defiant Offroad had some great insight on how to line up the hood and fender lines.
You do not need to do any drilling at all on this install, however if you want the hood to line up, you’ll need to either use a burr bit or drill the hood holes to 3/8”.

    First off nice video. Wanted to do confirm something if you could. Considering I have the same VR EVO 10-S winch and am possibly considering this plate opposed to the expensive Warn one. So on Maximus website it mentions the "Zeon" series Warns specifically, needing the 90 degree clutch lever in order the clear the bumper when used with this plate. I also saw another YT video where the guy talks about having to get a different clutch handle from Warn on this but he was also installing a Zeon series. Any issues with the VR EVOs and this issue? Does the handle turn the fully 180 degrees without interference?

    • @buck8288

      Hey Michael, unfortunately I did not take video of that portion because I didn’t think to make a video of that at the time. I will say, the speaker itself pretty much dropped right in without any issues whatsoever. I used a heat gun and a dremel to cut down some of the inner plastic fins so that the magnet wasn’t touching. Other than that, I used some small drywall screws to cinch down the speaker. I hope this helps! Thank you for your comment!

    • @sunsandoverland2848
      @sunsandoverland2848 ปีที่แล้ว

      kerplunk, we had them rebalanced twice locally before getting Battle Thru Gear involved. There were a couple of tires that had a manufacturer defect which caused the issue. No amount of balance fixed the issue. This is why we thought initially that it was a driveshaft or pinion angle issue. The tires were sent back to the manufacturer under warranty.

      Everything you are asking about is from Maximus 3. I left a link in the description for you to click on. The “decorative” ends are part of a kit or you can purchase them separately. Also, the stinger is just one style of the tube style they sell.

    That road in Cade's Cove is so nice.

      Hey James! The half doors are the Bestop Core doors. I disassembled them myself and took them to my paint guy to have them paint matched. I left the inner portion of the doors black texture how they came. They painted over the lip so it’s a clean transition. Then, I bought the mirrors separately because I didn’t want to pull her factory mirrors off the full doors. We really like them!

    I ran 35" Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires on my JLU before going to 37s, and they were excellent. In fact, I not only drove cross country with them, but also wheeled Moab and Colorado while they were on my Jeep. The ONLY reason that I switched to Cooper ST Maxx when I decided to go to 37s is because of the deal I got on them. Otherwise I surely would be running the Falkens again. I have friends who run teh Mickey Thompson Baja Boss, and love them, but I just wanted to post my experience with the Falken Wildpeaks. I highly recommend them..
