Does anyone know how to remove the fender lips? Just received mine a week ago now!

Nice same color mine will be. I believe the lips just held on with push plugs.

That’s what I thought as well, but it seems like they are actually riveted on, metal rivets too

Should be plastic rivets. You can drill out with small drill bit in center of pin or a small punch. You can grab a rivet gun and rivets from harbor freight or Amazon. Something like this

First snow for the Jeep!

So, long story short. Someone hit me in my JK, got good money, saw this XR package come in. Jumped on it the day it got there. Was off the truck on Friday/Saturday, paperwork done Monday, and left the dealer that day with it.

Couldn't be happier. This front HD44 from the mojave is no joke, just looking at everything, tie rod, track bar, etc.

Picked up my 392XR today! Already cracked 100 miles. It’s an animal…can’t wait to see how it does off pavement! Got it flexed out for some initial measurements before I tear the suspension off in a few weeks.

Looks great . Still can’t understand why they extended front bump tower Looks like you still have about 4”s before front tire is into the liner.

Room for 37s...

yea, the front bump tower is maybe a inch before it contacts the compression part of the bump tower. Not sure why they went this route.

Anyone know what hitch extension is needed to clear the spare for a bicycle carrier with xr package?

Anyone happen to know the answer on this one yet? XR on order.

I use this one with my 1UP and clears 37 just enough. Part of the equation is also which bike rack you have.

Here’s mine. Ozark Mountain Edition. Local custom.

That looks great! I too went with Katskinz and the matching stitching. I recently ordered the leather armrest with white stitching from Mopar and colored the stitching with a hyper yellow permanent marker. Matched perfectly and was relatively cheap and easy to do....

Thanks! I was thinking about trying to do something about the red stiching on the steering wheel and gear shift boot. They’re still red. I don’t know if a green marker would work or not. I might just color them black and be done with it.
