I take it your not running a spare?
🛠️ What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

I’m still debating on if I want to run a spare…….I want to keep my rear steel bumper with the license plate, so I’m searching for solutions on what would look good to cover the vents and something capable of mounting my backup camera
Warn spare tire delete kit. I used it on my 26 Moab

Spare tire delete for 24/25 FE
Looking for a good looking kit to be able to remove the rear spare and carrier on a 24/25 392 that has the factory rear tailgate re-enforcement hinge. I do not want to remove the factory re-enforcement hinge. Before someone mentions I totally understand the ramifications of doing this...

This thread has lots of good info.

The Plus's: I absolutely love the look and convenience of having the rear tire gone. The rear tail gate and storage area is a snap to get into and not having to slam that heavy tire on the tailgate hinges will ensure I will never have a problem with rear seam cracks that some have mentioned on the JL Wrangler forum. Plus you will be amazed how much rear visibility your now get with the tire gone.Spare tire delete for 24/25 FE

The minus's: If your rock crawling your gonna have to carry the spare in the cargo area.
I would not even thing about going onto a trail rated 4 or higher without one, and your gonna need some kind of onboard compressor and a good tire repair kit just to take care of those UN-expected punctures. You could use that fix a flat crap but you will ruin your TPS and it takes more then one can to at least have a drive able 35" tire.
For me it was a worthwhile endeavor and it was especially worth it to NOT hear wifey complain how she can't see out the back with that "Stupid Tire" there as well as having to move the tire out of the way every time she wanted to get into the back, lol

Yeah! Love cruising over the sand dunes, I try to take a road trip to White Sands at least once a year in the H2, this year the 392 will be going instead!
just hit 60K and did plugs, prob could have gotten away with not doing them but in for a penny in for a pound
anyone who's doing them: the front two on the passenger bank are an out right bitch, but you can do them with out taking out the batter/fuse tray with a sickeningly combo of universals and wobble extensions, an lots of lots of self restraint and patients, its a pain but do-able.
all of them:
Passenger bank: rear to front
Driver bank rear to front:
Worst one: rear plug of the second cylinder on the passenger bank (cylinder 4?)
Best one: Front plug of the second cylinder on the Driver bank (cylinder 3?)
a few had a little oil residue on the threads so ??? I cant remember if they where over lose or not compared to the others, but it is interesting how they dont have washers just a taper seat, none of the contacts had anything but normal cheeses on them except for deriver 3rd back (cyl 5?) I bet that one had some water egress past the ignition coils seals and just got cruddy
not a extreme difference in how it runs, but I bet ill prob get better milage all in all

My lean to the right is awesome when I'm off camber to the left. It makes 30 degrees feel like 25...

Looking at the old plugs I see no issues:
These iridium plugs are suppose to last 100k miles, looking at the ceramic surrounding the electrode you need to exercise your right foot a little more to keep that combustion chamber nice and toasty to burn off the crud. Also, consider dumping in a bottle of Chevron Techron, it really helps burn off deposits.
Changing plugs early gives you the satisfaction of knowing the health of your engine which is a good thing!

So I got the Jeep back last Friday, for the 2nd time. This time they replaced the rear freedom top seal. Today is our first day of rain. We'll see what happens. Honestly if it's still leaking, I'm just dealing with it. F the dealer.

Dealer work=broken worse and time wasted
When YOU do it=correctly repair and nothing else broke
For what its worse my 2018 JLUR never leaked until I removed my freedom top for the first time, dealer tried to fix it 3 times.
Out of frustration I finally partially removed the weather strip at the rear and re-positioned it then used: 3M Black Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive 08008 to hold it in its new location, No more leak, should have done this first!

Nice!
Off-topic, first time I saw your profile photo, I thought it was charred remains of your Jeep. I had to click on it to realize it's just covered in suds
what a relief.

Naive question from someone who lives in the desert: What are the rules regarding having your Jeep on the beach like that? How do you peacefully co-exist with the beachgoers walking along the shoreline? Are you allowed to actually drive the beach under any circumstances?
Speaking for Oregon and WA coast, driving on the beach is legal in certain areas but road rules and speed limits apply. For the most part, majority stick to the slow MPH limit and areas you're allowed to go. Sure, you'll get the occasional mad dad who runs at you with a hammer for romping on it in the sand because clearly his kids were at risk of being run over from 80 yards away. It's sad so many people allow their aggression to consume their daily lives.

You can drive on the beach in Daytona and yep drive it’s packed during jeep beach. 10 mph but everyone cruises and parks. It’s kind of stressful when you have little ones running back and forth but it always been the tradition there. Google jeep beach videos
