It looks to me like #17 is the "Transfer Case Output Shaft" (Mopar# 68391524AC) it looks like it uses a viscous coupling to engage the front wheels that is electronically actuated via a worm gear #45 called the "Gear Motor Worm Shaft" (Mopar# 68391529AA) which is turned by an small electric...

OK... I get it now. 🤔 Thank you @guruman and @stumblinhorse! So, just to put it in hamster terms the front and rear hamsters are now running at different speeds during a turn and we've seen how that goes. I guess I always think of turns as impacting the wheel rotation speed between the the...

I'll be the first to admit that I have no clue what's actually happening in the 3022 transfer case (see hamster GIF) so I'm sure you're probably right. But I guess I was under the impression the whole reason for sacrificing the durability of a U-joint and going with a CV-joint was the fact that...

I think of it more like this: So there is this low speed and high speed hamster attached to 470 lb-ft of torque.... and.... 🤦 All kidding aside, good post, nice to learn about this. One thing is I don't think crow hop is an issue in the 392 because it uses CV joints for the front wheel drive.

It is absolutely possible, and totally worth it! ☀️😎 The good news is that it's much easier to go from a hardtop to SOT top than from the soft top only to the SOT because you don't have the wiring harness installed. I have gone from SOT to soft top which is even easier but when I was figuring...

You're correct that any thief can simply reinstall a fuse you pulled out. But first they have to gain access to under the hood, and you can make that very very difficult using old school mechanical locking methods. You can't reinstall a fuse if you can't get access to it. Yes. If you disconnect...

nicely done! yes those two sets of holes are for the two "Latch Brackets" (Mopar Part: 68469897AA) to hold the freedom top panels. As far as the other bar it is part of the Sky One Touch Top. It (should) have two pads underneath it already to stop any vibration. But I like your idea @rocketman...

The @Mouse is right... come to think of it the Mouse is always right :unsure:. Never underestimate your opponent. The first thing they teach at glynco is always be aware of your surroundings. That's playing offense, not defense. In the 392 you can pull just one fuse and in 10 seconds make it a...

Hey @rocketman so I'Il throw this out, I take the SOT and doors off and run naked all summer and I've had no issues with theft out of the sub-trunk. I leave the center console and glovebox unlocked and empty. I use this Tuffy enclosure to store my stuff and it uses the tailgate to stay secure...

Exactly! Well said sir. It is a compromise between convenience and security. That is why it's important to be aware of your surroundings and asses the risk and react accordingly. There is a big difference between parking in my garage at night and leaving my Jeep at an airport parking lot for a...

Thanks for sharing that @LTZ470, I read the whole 18 page post. Here is a link to a video of someone using a conductivity device to determine the two leads that need jumper wires to start the vehicle. I don't know if this is common knowledge amongst car thieves but it looks relatively simple to...

🤣 so true.... I remember my first instructor telling me years ago "If it floats, flies, or fools around, rent it don't buy it." I am a practical guy, I drove the same little econo-sh*tbox Honda Civic for 20 years before buying my first Jeep (with a V8). Just like the OP I did a bunch of...

Use the force... ;) I really like the retro direction they went with, like using the JEEP tailgate logo used on the Honcho in Twister and the vintage 4-wheel dive logo they bought on eBay. Very cool, too bad the 392's V8 is also now considered 'vintage' and out of production. 😢
