42”’curved lightbar installed on Valkyrie Off Road Roof Bar brackets and using a KC Hilites Wire Tidy to run the cable neatly down tte side of the windscreen. I’d much prefer to run the cables as I did on the 2015 Limited under the roof rails and in through the rear hatch/light but I really didn’t want to disturb the pano roof area.
Time to break the new lift kit in and run through any teething issues! Green Laning around the Surrey Hills proved a decent place to achieve that! As so many have before, yup the bottom bolts on the swaybar links eased off a little causing the in-nerving banging associated with the issue! Other than nipping them back up, anyone got guaranteed long term solutions? Loctite?
Well, we couldn’t just leave it at wheels and tyres could we?!
So we installed a Terrafirma 1 1/2” lift kit and 30mm space Kit just after New Year in January 2022!! We could not be happier with the outcome although getting an alignment sorted is proving harder than it should be!!
In August 2021 we attended the fantastic Jeep Owners Club U.K. Summer Safari held over a weekend and across two off road sites in West Sussex with exclusive access, we had a blast of a weekend and glorious weather. So many photos, these will have to be posted over a few parts!!PART 1:
So today, we fitted new shoes! First ever set of All Terrain Tyres, we went with Yokohama Geolander GO15 A/T’s as here in the U.K. its the only real option that fits without modification or wheel changes etc. First impressions are excellent!
New Parts Fitted! Was very fortunate to source these Genuine Mopar Jeep Side Skirts for the Renegade. Made from Steel they fit fantastic once the instructions have been deciphered. Whilst not load bearing they will protect the sills and lower door areas and look fantastic with no loss of ground clearance. This is the only set that I have come accross. They appeared in the European Jeep Accessories in August 2018 I believe. I LOVE EM!
Jeep mods are never ending right?! So happy to be able to show some support to the amazing Wayalife YouTube channel with some rear quarter decals of their logo, a real inspiration for many years! I found the grab handle grips and Jeep speaker grill logos on Alliexpress, little details and a lot of fun!
October saw us gather in Aldermarston in Berkshire for the U.K. Jeep Owners Club Autumn Off Road Day. We had a blast and really put the Renegades through their paces. Made a few contacts as well and parts/plans for a Winter update to Flymo is on the cards as a result!!
July 2021 saw the inaugural Jeep Renegade Adventures Summer Renegade Meet at Breen Beach in Somerset U.K. one of the very few Beaches you can drive your vehicle in was chosen for the first U.K. Renegade meet up and the rain held off all day! A great start for the Renegade Adventures U.K. community and a lot of thoughts were sown for upcoming events to give everyone a chance to come together in future. 16 Renegades and some very nice Wranglers attended.
