First mod? Our engine and transmission tuning!

Second? We are going to see about offering our flex fuel upgrade like we do for the 3.6. We know based on this on other 392 platforms, it will need injectors at least to do it. But it's high on the priority list to get it figured out and offered!

Then? Who knows
Yup, being those people and quoting our own message, but the long term unit finally arrived!

Sam, which ditch light mounts are you using? I like the KC Hilites A pillar mount but it isn't compatible with this hood. Thanks!

Got it up in the hills. Worked really well. 392 has lots of ump even over 10k feet.

End of the road. Too much snow still.

no rubbing at all full turn with the ko2’s but with out the spacers it was rubbing the sway bar. The 37 ko2’s are small, light A/T’s. I ran that setup on my 19 Rubi before I went with the Yokohama 37M/T and nomads. Never had any problems with the spacers with the light A/T but I wouldn’t run a heavy big M/T on spacer.. with my 392 build I will do some rock crawling but I’m going more for speed/desert buold.
How are you handling your spare tire with the 37’s?

Our 37" KO2's fit with only a simple spare relocation bracket. We snagged the rough country bracket but there's a ton of options. Moved it up a couple inches and out maybe 3/4 inch. RC Part number 10529. We are also running a 17x9 wheel with a +18 offset.

The 37" spare fit our last JLUR with the plastic bumper without modification (same wheels), but with the steel bumper clearance is less - required the relocation bracket.

KO2's are only about 35.5" diameter also...

Ok, thank you. On my 18 JLUR I had 37 Cooper discover sst‘s on Fuel Beasts with the Jeep gate assembly and I thought the back was going to fall off when I hit a bump so I went with an LOD Destroyer bumper and tire carrier which handled it fine.

is your Jeep fine when you hit bumps?

Yes it's great, no movement in the spare at all. I think the most important piece though is to make sure you get some extended bumper/supports and replace the factories - ensure that you have those two points contacting the tire firmly. Also, the KO2's I believe are MUCH lighter than the SST's... We did add the hinge gate reinforcement as an option on our build.

Jeepless at the moment.

Recommended bumpers/supports?

Depending on your wheel offset - investigate crown automotive part number 55395993AB. If you have a wider-stance (negative offset or low positive offset) wheel, these will be too short. Also depends on how much your relocation kit pushes the spare out.

Might be able to modify the Daystar KJ09144BK as well - these look a little longer than the Crown part. Quadratec has them for 20 bucks for the pair.
