  1. Vibration issue after new wheels and tires

    Everything shakes, I would check the track bar, control arms, ball joints, and all the steering components next. Check all the bushings under load for movement. Check the shocks maybe you had one fail and did not know it and your feeling it now with the bigger heavier tire. Wheels/tires may not...
  2. Vibration issue after new wheels and tires

    I have had tires with lateral run out that vibrated at certain speeds. Seems to me if you replaced all the tires that eliminated them so that leaves the wheels, the set up or worn parts. Maybe you have a bad ball joint and the new wheels with more offset are causing your vibration. Is it in the...
  3. Vibration issue after new wheels and tires

    I have the exact same wheels without issue. Maybe one of your wheels is out of round, machined off center? Maybe you have the wrong lug nuts? I believe they are lug centric wheels. When they road forced the wheels did they check the wheel and tires for lateral movement?
  4. Dealer Speedometer Calibration off by 3mph

    I put 35's on mine, stock calibration. Its off 3 mph also. They did not calibrate your speedometer.
  5. Transfer Case Swap From Rubicon to Sport?

    You have to source the case, not always easy to find one and sometimes its as much as a Atlas. other wise not that big of a deal.
  6. Unhappy with MPG - looking for ideas

    Sounds like its time for gears but you will probably only get 15 or so even with gears. You will get some performance back also.
  7. sky one touch + grab handles

    I used these front and rear. worked okay. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018NU9KPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
  8. Contacted Jeep Customer Service on sketchy pricing of the XR Package

    LOL! Wrong guy! I'm not crying about 4K for XR package.......... maybe you should reread my post. I only stated facts and I agree that there is no value for the buyer on XR. I also said they wont lower the price because they are in business to make money and that's ok. its a option. Never wanted...
  9. Contacted Jeep Customer Service on sketchy pricing of the XR Package

    You are the one who brought up the 60's not me, that was when you were saying how you could build a better Jeep for less money remember? That brings us to my point that no not really without labor cost and if your time was free you could maybe brake even with a ass ton of work involved oh and...
  10. Contacted Jeep Customer Service on sketchy pricing of the XR Package

    Maybe you could find a set of dana 60's with e-lockers for 15,500 but we did not list everything. You will need wiring harnesses, exhaust, Tune, drive shafts front and rear, list goes on and on. Not saying you could not do it but it just is not practical to build it when you can buy it at the...
  11. Contacted Jeep Customer Service on sketchy pricing of the XR Package

    Well not sure about that. The transmission in my 392 is heavier than the transmission you would get in the sport so you would have to buy both the 392 and the transmission so it was equal so to speak. So lets say you have the Knowledge and could do it yourself. You would need to budget 20K for...
  12. Contacted Jeep Customer Service on sketchy pricing of the XR Package

    Yes they are different. On the XR392 you get different shocks ( not sure they are fox or who builds them), 35" tires instead of 33", Tire bracket for the spare, 4.56 vs 3.73 gears, different wheels, and some plastic fender extensions for 4K. Cost for Jeep on the XR would be bracket cost...
  13. Contacted Jeep Customer Service on sketchy pricing of the XR Package

    I agree with you the XR on the 392 is just a bigger profit for Jeep. I personally don't believe the value is there on the 392 either but I also believe Jeep knows that 392 buyers are willing to throw down top dollar for the top Jeep. Having the XR392 gives some what they feel to be the baddest...
  14. MY 392 Will Be Driven Only On Pavement And Will Not Be Raced

    Yours so baby it if you want. Nothing wrong with that I. I don't see the point though if you never plan to open it up or take it off the pavement do you hope to make money on it at some point? It's a fairly expensive depreciating asset at least that's how I see it so for me. It is pretty much...
  15. So how do you like the 392 as a DD?

    I don't daily drive mine but I agree with everything you mention, at 46-47 mine is in 8th gear barely off idle until you get on it some. The motor is barely working under normal driving for sure. The ride is very comfortable better than I thought a solid axle Jeep could ever ride at least for...
  16. Bury the Needle

    I have had my 08 JK north of a 100 a few times on 37's. handles pretty good for what it is. It wont beat my 392 to 90 but it will run it down and that's kind of hilarious to me since it has a mini van motor in it. At some point when I get time I plan to take it up to the local dyno shop. Run it...
  17. Is jeep going to do something for people don’t get the golden tailgate tag?

    What you miss is someone did not order the tags in time, assign a part number in time, did not know that the tags were to go on the 392 when they created the bill of materials or some other BS. It was a failure by someone at Jeep period! Also for someone who does not appear to have a 392 you...
  18. Jeep's response to Silver VS gold tailgate Plates

    If you read my original post I know they figured it out and started installing the correct plate after they realized what they did, no need to explain it to me. I may have been the first one to state when it changed. I got it direct from my communication with Jeep and had not seen it before...
  19. Gauging interest - flex fuel option on 392 Rubicons

    Okay now you have my attention :). Curious to see what you end up with for performance and what mods have to be made to the jeep itself to run E-85. Maybe it is worth running down E-85. With those numbers. keep us in the loop.
  20. Gecko vs Mojito?

    Hard to go wrong with either. The lighter green you seen was probably highlighter. Gecko is darker than that. It was on 12/13 JK's, Highlighter came later.
