So, upgraded my regular AEV springs to HC ones recently (2022 392), and took it out for a shake out yesterday on a nearby trail. As the trail got more technical, every time the suspension compressed on the driver's side, I could hear metal on metal. On inspection it turns out the spring was...

So I’m out on the last leg of a >6,000 mile roadtrip with my 2022 392. At least 200 miles of which was off-road on trails of varying difficulty. Oh, and towing a ~3,000 trailer all the way as well. Luckily nothing happened whilst out and about in the Moab back country, but then after a...

Just over 16,500 miles, 11 months old. I’ve replaced them with the Steer Smarts ones. Not super impressed that they didn’t even make a year though.

I've done a fair bit of work on my Jeeps over the years, but removing axle shafts is not something that I've done before, and was looking for a bit of advice. Most of the installation instructions talk about "supporting" the axle shaft as you pull it out so as to not damage the inner seal. I'm...

So I've run cables through that FW hole on the driver's side many times on my other Jeeps, but on the 392 I'm struggling to figure out how to reseal it once the cables are in. In regular JL's the hole is fairly accessible from the engine bay, and so resealing it with something like silicone...

OK, I’m 3 oil changes in and I’m clearly missing something obvious when it comes to swapping out the oil filter when doing an oil change. I always manage to get copious quantities of oil everywhere when taking the filter off, even if I let the main pan drain first. Anyone have any tips on how...

I’ve done over 13K miles in my 2022 392, and for the first time this morning noticed that the font being used on the panel between the speedometer and rev counter to display current speed is markedly different from the font being used everywhere else on the display. Now, of course, I can’t...

So, about 10K miles after it first happened, my 2022 threw the SERV 4WD warning light again. Again, just came on randomly, and again, it basically slipped itself into Full Time 4 HI, with the transfer case locked front and rear. The usual binding and wheel skipping when cornering. Shifted...

It's come up before I know, and seems to affect JL's generally, but a lot of folk have reported their JL's coming from the factory with up to a 1/2 quart needing to be added to get it to the fill port level. Given the amount of power we're putting through these t-cases it might be worth checking...

So I'm currently running 37 x 12.5 KM3's on my 2020 3.6 JL, and 35 x 12.5 KM3's on my 392 XR. I was originally going to stick with 35's on my 392, but since having lifted it, the 35's look too small. So I'm definitely going with 37's once these 35's are end of life (won't be long on the 392 😀 )...

So I just finished installing the M.O.R.E. Oil Pan Skid Plate (JLOPSP392) on my 2022 392 XR. There is a hole in it to get a spanner in to get the sump plug out, but I can’t seem to see a way to actually deal with the oil that’s going to come streaming out of the hole once the plug is out. There...

Part of my daily route to the gym and back is up and over a ~1,500 ft climb and back down the other side. Dual lane up, wide sweeping curves. Predictably the curves aren't constant radius, and I've discovered that with all the power instantly on tap in this beast, it is stupid easy to induce...

So I love the profile of the Pioneer Platform on my 392. Probably the least wind noise I've ever had from any rack. I attached it using the Maximus-3 mounting brackets, because they mount directly to the roll bar and don't depend on the complicated backbone system. It also increases the load...

So I’ve been running the AEV rear bumper for a few weeks now, and overall I love the AEV aesthetic and function. The problem I’m having though is those middle two backup sensors firing for no reason. Now I know this is a fairly generic problem with aftermarket bumpers in general, and mostly...

So, I’m used to Wrangler’s sometimes having things break, and get fixed in illogical and unexpected ways, but this one really baffled me this morning. So, 2022 XR, a shade under 1,600 miles on the clock, and this morning as I’m backing out of the carport at home, there’s the dreaded *ding* of...

So, a week after I ordered my 392, I placed an order with Gobi for their rack for the 392. I have their stealth rack on my 2020 3.6 JL, and am actually really happy with it, so figured I'd order one for the 392. As one does. Their website suggested 16-20 weeks to delivery, so this week being...

So between ordering my 392 and taking delivery of it last week, I took the opportunity to research bumpers. This is my 4th Wrangler, and so I've had first hand exposure to several aftermarket bumper brands, and did the installs on 2 of the other 3 Wranglers myself. So this wasn't my first bumper...

Heading to the dealer this morning to put in an order for a Snazberry XR with tow package. Any last words of wisdom before I do? [UPDATE] Thanks for all the input, folks. And yes, the price did go up. Also, turns out Snazzberry is no longer available for any of the Wranglers in the FCS ordering...

Hey folks I've just moved to the Charlottesville, VA area, and am looking for a reputable Jeep shop to take a look at a gearing whine for me. It's a 2020 JL, pretty substantially modded, and yes, I had the gears done a while back. Right now my diagnosis is that the pinion depth is off in one of...

After having had good results from Progrip's Dynatrac Big Brake System on our two JKs, I was looking into similar systems for our JL, especially since we're towing with it, and generally carrying a lot more weight even without the trailer than we ever were on the JKs. Progrip don't do a kit for...
