Running Board Considerations

Alright fellow Lemming Jeepers, got a question for you on running boards. I’d like to get some, but as usual am hung up on the details.

Seem to be three main styles that I can see:

    1. Flat
    1. Pipe
    1. Individual steps

Anyone have pro’s/con’s on the styles? I’m leaning towards the individal steps on a pipe style bar, mainly because I like the look, but if anyone has experience otherwise I’d love to hear.

Thanks y’all!

Mod - Quadratec Dead Pedal (with optional rubber pad)

Just added my first mod - a Quadratec Dead Pedal (with pad). I figured I’d start small and just couldn’t get over how my left leg just kinda dangled or else felt like it was at a weird angle. Saw some good reviews and figured ~$100 seemed worth it. Metal felt very heavy duty, and install went pretty quick - add an extender (not the correct name), attach the pedal to the mounting bracket, then finally attach the bracket to the extender. My first go took me about 20 minutes. “First?” you may ask yourselves, so I’ll explain. When you attach the pedal to the bracket, you have three options for the bolts. I tried to guess which position would be best, but ultimately guessed wrong so I had to remove, adjust, and reinstall. So I’d recommend double checking everything before bolting to the extender. The good news is that the second install goes even quicker than the first. Once it’s in, if you’re installing the pad just peel the backing, press for 30 seconds, and let sit 1 hour.

And that’s it! First drive after install I could immediately tell that I made the right decision. If you’re on the fence about it, JUST DO IT!!!

2024 Sport S Unlimited

My first Jeep post - finally had a chance to get her washed up! Anyone have any mods they absolutely love OR hate? Need to start customizing - first thoughts are running boards. Also, thoughts on making the black parts red? I’m a KU fan and keep going back and forth on whether I’ll love or hate the look.

1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport

Shoot I'll get mine posted!

1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sport Citron Pearl Coat paint job exclusive to the 1997 line. 2.5" lift.

This was the original dealership photo that made me fall in love with this boy. I've owned this Jeep for 8 years now and only every once in a while been pissed off when something major breaks and I have to get in there and fix it!

Since purchase I have made many changes and upgrades (don't have a nice recent picture). Tires have been replaced with 33inch ProComps. Wheels have been replaced with matte black steel wheels. Top has been replaced with a Tan stock hard top. After hydroplaning twice into fences/stop signs I have replaced the fender flares with flat fenders. Lastly he has been christened "Sarge" due to his unique color!
