I have a diesel, a manual 4.0 TJ, and a TRX, and my family has had many other Jeeps over the years for reference. My dad and I went to Idaho to pick up his 392 and road trip back to AZ. And I can confirm that that vehicle put a smile on our faces and made us giggle like little girls for our...

I have the CavFab tire carrier, and one of their rear bumpers and didn’t have too much trouble. I did use the YouTube video shown earlier in the thread as a guide, which helped. Overall, it is super high quality stuff and I get compliments fairly regularly on both the carrier and the bumper...

The 4.0 was an old school push rod and while I love that sound (and have one) it was never going to sound like that. The hurricane is much more similar to i6 motors found in BMW’s, so as long as it sounds more like their standard turbo 6 and not the one in the m4, it should sound decent with...

You should see the Bronco forum thread someone posted earlier. They’re at 21 pages and it’s getting spicy with Kevin from Litebrite arguing with a couple of jealous and/or angry types. Makes the bickering in this thread look tame in comparison.

I missed the order window for Tuscadero by 1 day when I tried to order with my dealer. Does anyone know of any 392 XR Tuscaderos with SOT for sale? Any off chance that someone ordered one and isn’t planning to move forward with the purchase? My wife has been really bummed that we missed out...

Have you considered a TRX? I tried to pull the trigger on a Tuscadero 392 for my wife and they discontinued the color the night before I finalized my order with my dealer (Kent in Idaho). As I already have a JLURD and my wife really only wanted it in pink, I decided to look for something else...

Those flares are awful, but I had a revelation after my initial negative reaction. They obviously have to get the whole tire covered due to regulations and those flares will do their job off-road. But with Ford’s easy snap flares, you could buy another set of flares that look good and better...

Yes, I forgot to mention that in my post. It seems to cut some heat, although I didn’t do the side panels so I can’t speak to that. It also cuts wind noise a touch which is nice. The top noise really isn’t bad to begin with, but cutting a bit of noise when the top is designed to cut heat is a...

I live in Scottsdale and have a TJ that’s bikini top only, no rear windows and a JL with SOT. The dust is a real concern. I don’t even try to keep the TJ clean inside, just wiped down enough so it’s not filthy. On the JL, the SOT is a game changer. I open/close it 2-3 times daily almost year...

I had the same thing happen to me in Flagstaff in summer when the Jeep was new. I had been driving for a few hours and stopped for fuel. Got back on the freeway and had no power. Pulled over, restarted it, and it was all good again. Lesson learned to not jump on it after a long drive and quick...

yep, but don’t remember if that was before or after I seated them all.

The dash lights up like a Christmas tree and the message center yells at you. Had this happen when my Jeep was a few days old (on 35’s) in Moab at 105° and a few days later on Imogene pass at 60°, but obviously very high elevation. Didn’t lose any performance, but wasn’t a fun experience seeing...

It’s kinda crazy that this engine option has been available for 18 months and there still aren’t any intake options. First to market gets my money. Who wants it?

Trick question. It’s impossible for that glorious motor to be too loud under any circumstance. But really, it’s pretty normal for any bi-mode exhaust to open flaps and be really loud in any performance engine. Corvettes, Jags, Ferrari, SRT/Hellcat, etc. Just part of the cost of performance...

I installed mine about a month ago and we’ve had a few 100° days now. No issues at all and noticeable improvements in heat and sound. All good so far!

I’d have a bit tougher time now choosing between diesel and 392, but I absolutely love the diesel. I take it to the mountains quite often and it’s as good at 10k feet highway or offroad as it is at sea level. Effortless power for any situation. A lot of people complain about def but I don’t know...

Bikini top and no doors on my TJ or sky one touch and doors on, windows down when I want more flexibility with the JL. Enjoying this AZ heat… for now.

Axles are D44 front and rear on the diesel no matter the trim.

Cooler and a 6 pack for when I reach my destination.

How is that drive? I live in Scottsdale and have been taking a hard look at moving to or trying to split time in Whitefish/Kalispell. To keep it on topic, I’ve had temp issues in summer on the big, steady grade on 17 just south of Mund’s Park. You had no issues there towing a trailer? What was...
