A lot of people were commenting on your FB post about this regarding problems they or others they know have had with this product, including Scott Blum who is a pretty trusted source. Any concerns there?

Haven’t seen these yet. What’s the benefit?

According to RIP "The RIPP High Performance Coils are totally redesigned and re-engineered to add up to an additional 20whp on the 5.7L and 30whp on the 6.4L!! This translates to better MPG, a more responsive throttle input, and over all better driving experience when installed. "

I used them before on Esmeralda (2019 Supercharged JLU) without any issues, so I decide to add them to my baby.

I don't worry about what anyone said on Facebook. I already had a good experience with this company coils before, so I decide to purchase their product one more time.

Aftermarket coil packs are one of those mods where you have good luck or a bunch of problems. Hope you have good luck.

You are right but since I had them before without any issues, I am willing to trust their product again. I am being having issue with the parking sensor and those are factory .

Don't feel bad! I don't regret any money; I had spent on my baby. She put a smile on my face every day I take her to work and back. She is my daily drive and I enjoy the heck out of her.

As you should.
Have you driven it yet with the coil packs?
realtove to the post above, it seems many aftermarket coil packs can have issues. I’ll be curious if anything pops up.
Although, I’m thinking to just hang on to the stock units, just in case…

I install them yesterday and it is hard to tell any difference, but I do always evaluate anything I install for a month. I normally compare each month millage and gas (Excel Sheet) to previous months to see any improvements on each modification.

I always keep my stock parts just in case anything fails.

Took advantage of the Jeep Wave “free” oil change on saturday. They replaced the filter with the 399, and not the skinny little jabby from the factory. Also, 0-40 Pennsludge. I did notice a little less tick than usual. I did a change at 3k with Mobil 1. Now, I’m wondering….

I installed my muffler skid plate this morning. HUUUGE improvement. The heat resistant paint behind the cutout helped blend it. Thanks for the help and suggestions.
(My husband rolled his eyes when I told him this would be the last install for a while…)

Edit: I do feel the need to add that I did this install by myself

Installed a set of Oracle JL Flush tail lights. Very simple install and I think they look great. I did have an issue with both left/right blinkers on the dash flashing rapidly, but that was corrected when I flashed the tail lights in the Tazer program.
I know there has been some negative reviews about the BSM not working properly, but I have had zero issues with it since the install. Took it in-town and on the highway and it detected vehicles on either side just fine. One of the many features I'm pleased about is the brightness of the reverse lights. Holy crap! With the OEM lights - I used to get a faint picture out of my rear camera at night. With the new tail lights, the picture is almost crystal clear.

How have these held up?
I’ve read reviews mentioning failures, somewhat early after install.
Any issues yet?

Parts have begun to arrive today! Adams 1350 rear driveshaft, steer smarts yeti drag link, and falcon nexus 2.2 steering stabilizer. Yeti tie rod arrives tomorrow, and Clayton 3.5” overland plus kit arrives Thursday. Front driveshaft, falcon 3.3 shocks, and 37” Nitto RG tires all still on back order.

I must say the Yeti drag link is super beefy compared to stock, and this Adams shaft feels very solid. Looking forward to getting these all mounted onto the 392.

More parts came in today! Some control arms unexpectedly arrived for the Clayton lift and these things are BEEFY compared to stock. As is the Steer Smarts Yeti tie rod.

I have an electric winch that I use for taking my top off. I take it off and put it back on by myself all the time. I tend to scratch the top of my tub rails and those scratches were starting to bug me. I got a quote to get the top of the rails painted with Rhinoliner for $250-300. The installers concern was the normal thickness of the liner might affect the way the hard top sits and lines up. I came across these AFE Terra guard tub rail covers for about $120 and I figured I’d order them, try them out and probably return them. I’ll be honest, I kinda like them. The color and texture pretty much exactly match the interior plastic of our Jeeps. They are well made and fit perfectly snug and use the 8 screws from the top. The only thing I might have done differently in design is counter sunk the screws. But really no big deal. I actually forgot I ordered these several months ago. Most all of AFEs products are on back order.

I have had those since early spring and my top has been off since then. They really do blend in well and dress everything up. I even posted here about them. Do yours have the T-40 stamped into them at the rear? Funny because the bolt heads are T-50.

Congrats on the install, and… Your husband is not alone, we’re all rolling our eyes. Apparently we all need new coil packs now.

Don’t blame me for the coil packs!

Why not? It’s your fault.
