XR observations

[Capt. Don]

Yeah Don, you are dumb. Kidding, but I lowered from 40 to 37 and was disappointed. Later on first day I dropped to 30 which since its been cooler its actually 28-29 cold. Much happier except the tp ms light is annoying.

Seems a bit wasteful at $329 but we both need a Tazer Mini to adjust our TPMS limits. I hope this discussion helps the new 4XE owner here.
OK, I do note that you did in one day what it took me four months to do, air down to 30 psi on the 35s and check contact patch. Ouch!

Does Jscan not work on the 4xe?

I am coachable. JScan? Dealer system?

Regardless of J-scan vs. Tazer, get one of these: https://www.zautomotive.com/product/z_sgw_ext/

OK, AnnDee, this is interesting.

1. OBD JSCAN app on my iphone - no charge
2. Z Automotive SGW Extension Cable - $29
or TTXSPP Cable Adaptor for Chrysler products 12+8 - $18.57 on Amazon
3. Single vehicle license for JSCAN - $20.99
4. OBDLink MX+ OBD2 scanner/bluetooth $139.00 on Amazon

So, for about $210. plus some shipping, I can set my TPMS light load front and rear tire pressure in 5 psi increments. I get all this except why I need a cable adapter if I have a bluetooth OBDLink MX+ communicating with my iphone. Is that the security issue? Comments?

Correct. There is a security gateway between the obd port and the brain. Once you bypass that, you can write/change. Tire size, LED light options, TPMS, gears and a host of others.

@JT1 got it already. FWIW: the Tazer has a bypass also.

I've used Jscan to change the TPMS, enable keyless entry handles, & disable the fog light dropout with high beams (aka Bambi mode). It allows independent lock/unlock of the differentials/sway bar anytime... even when the vehicle isn't running (ignition on).

Also the OBDLink MX+ can be used on almost every OBDII vehicle (roughly 1996 & newer) with other phone apps (like Torque Pro for Android), and probably some PC applications too.

So will this refresh cause price drops at dealers?

I have the Tazer mini the bypass is built in no need to buy a cable.
My son just bought a JScan.
App download is free but useless without a license.
$55 cdn for the Vgate
$30 cdn for the security bypass cable
$30 cdn for the license to use the app

Can the JScan give you linelock, 4 wheel lock, and trail assist or force 2wd for the 392?
How about FAD delete, and locker delete.
I’m know what it can do on a JK but not familiar with what it can do with the JL.

The app isn't useless without a license... there's a demo mode where you can see every feature.

I got these and 1 jscan license

worked as expected.

I have been following this thread since day one ... long before my XR arrived. Have read thru every post more than once in the past 24 hours. Looking for a condensed answer for myself and the others that will follow because I'm still not 100% clear on what solution is the best so far.

I have a '23 XR, steel bumpers, tow package and have the correct coils. I've just ordered a Zeon 10s winch and want to address the sag when I install everything. I may eventually get longer/stiffer springs and shocks for more flex, but I'm not to that point yet. For now, just want to go with the spacer fix. I've seen 1/2" and 3/4" mentioned the most. Seems like there was even a 1" mentioned in another thread ... seems a bit too much? I would prefer to keep some rake so it levels out when rear is loaded. Which one is the consensus at this point? And also which brand(s). Seems Teraflex would be the obvious choice for 1/2"?

I installed the 1/2" Teraflex spacer on the front of my '22 XR, also with the steel bumpers and tow package, but with an Evo 12S (which weighs about 8 pounds less than an Zeon 10S), and a MORE steel engine/trans skid. Has the slightest bit of rake empty, but sits completely level when I throw in my tool bag, cooler, chairs and other stuff when wheeling. I think that would work well in your case too. This is how mine sits with full fuel but nothing in the back.

Looks right to me! Thanks!

Don’t overthink this. It’s a lot of work for only 1/2” spacer that will be barely noticed. I personally wouldn’t worry about it until you are ready to do springs.

Put a jack under the front bumper lift it enough that it relieves your front springs 1/2” as a spacer would do, stand back and see if you can notice the difference.
