"Changes" to 2024+ Wrangler

[4xFUN]

None of the frame side track bar brackets will work, not just the ones with the sector shaft bearing. It looks like Jeep reinforced this area themselves as shown in the picture below showing the additional welded in bracing. Also the welds look much better than those on my '20 JLR!

You can see the Rancho Brace will not even come close to aligning with the gear box bolts due to the additional welded-on frame support.

Re-iterating what was mentioned in the first post.

The 2024 has a different front LCA frame side mount. Geometry correction brackets and skids will not fit.

Not the same. FAD is front axle disconnect. It's a fuel saving measure they introduced a while back that basically amounts to peanuts in the long run. The good news is there's no more split axle shaft with an electronic motor to move the locking collar back and forth to engage 4wd. The bad news is they still have an over abundance of old axle housings left so they put the new 1 piece shaft in and sealed the hole with a plate. Not that anyone ever doubted the strength of the axle in this area anyway though...right? I'll see myself out.

Question, does not having the FAD mean the front axle is always connected? How does that work with 4Hi part time vs full time?
