    Kleiner Mod

    I heard Mr Kleiner has a method of securing the wheel centre cap with a set screw. Would anyone have a photo as I can't see where to put a set screw.
    Finally started my build the beginning July. 2015!

    Thanks guys. I used silicone and it appeared to work great until I had to take rims off. All came off ok except one. The silicone didn't hold and everything turned together!
    Jeff - do you have to drill at an angle?

    If you don't use the fake wheel nut cover, the spinner doesn't need to be removed. At least on my Team III's they don't. Just loosen the spinner and move it as you remove the nuts. Wheel comes off with the spinner attached. I've even had to use a dead blow hammer to knock the center out after removing the wheel. All this without the need for any type of locking stuff or goo. jmo

    Too many "Kleiner mod(s)"! I think we need to create a reference directory to categorize each of them!

    The front parking light/turn light fixture does not sit flat or flush with the body. There is a gap between the chrome ring around the lens and the paint/body. A big o-ring seals up that gap. I think this is the part. #9558K128 https://www.mcmaster.com/#orders/=18gxqpc Rumor has it that this is JK's world's greatest mod.
