I get a lot of people asking me if thats my color as well, lol.

We also noticed that I smashed in my tailpipe someplace, and I’m pretty sad about that because I had it put in like 5 days before we left for Moab, lol!

These are available in different size ranges. I own a few.

Ohh, that’s interesting. Thank you!

Dents, scratches and scrapes are your real badges of honor. You don’t have to fix things that still function. (You will have plenty of things to fix/do in time if you keep using your Jeep as intended.)

And, you will never get the Moab red dust out of everywhere.

It is a Jeep thing.

So.much.red.dirt.

for real tho, next time I’m leaving my back doors on, as well as leaving those rear removable side windows on, and for SURE not taking my SOT back. What a messy mess. I feel like I could keep half the dust out just by doing that.

I usually use a leaf blower/shop vac and then eventually admit defeat.

If your Jeep doesnt look like that or worse after Moab, you are not doing it right.

I completely agree with you! Seeing those pictures is proof you had a great time!

We will be going down to a smaller tire size.
We also used this Jeep out at KOH to set anchor/recovery points on the course and a bit of pre-running the new canyon trails.

My exhaust pipe is totally taco’d so I guess I’m buying that pipe expander that was shared! I was going to cut the end off and get tips I can just remove before off-roading.

getting rid of that stinger for a little dent is amusing to me.. if you do I’m sure someone will want it.

I will eventually take pictures of any damage and share to my insta @grumpy4xe but I usually just grab a can of matte black rustoleum enamel and blast everything. Metalcloak says there is a gold color I can use to touch up my scratched bars.

It’s not the dent that leading me to scrap it - it’s the compromised reinforcement on the passenger side:

Fortunately MC had them in stock, so already on its way to me.

That is making me nervous. I've been running the stock 392 XR axles for three years with 37s and now 40s. Done every trail in Moab, the Rubicon twice, and countless other trails with no problems so far. But my time is coming to become "that guy". I had another 392 owner ask me, "which tons was I using?" at the start of Metal Masher trail last week. When I said I had stock axles his jaw actually dropped, in shock that I would do such a thing. I'm definitely not part of the clique at trail line up. I'm looking at axles though. UD 60s would probably be the easiest install. a Fusion kingpin 60 front and 80 rear would probably be the strongest, and their both about the same cost.

Going down in tire size? Is that even a thing?

You might also consider the Fusion 60/14 Bolt - it’s plenty stout for a 392 and gives you additional clearance. I’m looking at this upgrade right now because I’m terrified of running 40s on stock. Especially seeing @Fabtech Motorsports experience.

 

[Fabtech Motorsports]

So on our JKU, we run 40's and a Dynatrac ProRock 60/80. On that we do silly stuff.

And in this case, a smaller tire (probably a 38" tire) is "cheaper" for this JL, and more realistic honestly.
The front is an Ultimate Dana 44 and the rear is the semi float Dana 60.

Not from EJS but from last fall. Ran Hells Revenge and Top of the World (on 33s lol) Didn't get pics of the sliders, but they got dented and scraped up too. Back bumper is smashed too. Have 35s now, so hopefully less scraping next time!
