🛠️ What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

I spent the last couple of weeks installing new parts:
Rock jock control arms, track bars, brackets and sway bars.
Rock Crawler 2.5” coils
Bilstein shocks (rears on BO)
King front hydraulic bumps
Teraflex rear bumpers with sumo springs
Teraflex alpha tire carrier
Next Venture front and rear bumpers
Steer smarts tie rod / drag link
Fox ats stabilizer and high mount
Some other miscellaneous pieces.

Still have to install the winch, NVM skids, rear parking sensors, rear shocks (using Teraflex 2” extensions now) switch pros and lights.

Gears scheduled for 5/3 at shop.

First Jeep and lift but I did have an old 66 Bronco I lifted and wheeled a lot. All the parts are pretty straightforward but the pros can tune the suspension and I feel with the amount of adjustability I am lacking in that.

I also have a million or so check engine codes to go through!

I had already installed the RSE steps and Magnaflow RC.
Very nice looking Wrangler and well set-up. It looks like you have a lot of wheel well space for a 2 1/2 inch lift. What size tires are you running? They look like 37s but I can't imagine that much wheel well space with 37 inch tires and a 2 1/2 inch lift.
 
Thank you and Yes 37” I think they measured 36 3/4”. Also the winch will weight down the front some once I install it. I have read the suspension will settle a little with time.

I am that guy and just read the instructions for everything and I am pretty surprised how many instructions are wrong or not updated and calling the companies and hearing oh we meant to change that or some of the others would go out and ask the installers and learn something from them.

Also, hats off to the entire community of vendor’s because 99% of them were amazing to work with and answer questions and a few I had to call a couple of times!
 
Decided to add gold trim to the dash clusters for the RPM and Speedometer to match the vent accents I did previously. Really like how it all turned out!

That looks great, awesome job!

Awesome! Do you have a link for the dash trim? I purchased the vent ones you linked previously.

Yes, below is the link. I used the red ones. The paint covered it entirely. Also just make sure to replace the tape that it comes with. Lastly I did not do the middle part that it comes with.

A friend text me about 8pm, said he had a rougb week and asked I could meet him out our town center for a drink, like 2 miles from my house, to unwind. Wife is super cool so I went. After a longer than I planned, walked out and hit auto start to start the AC while we were talking out front. Of course it roared up and 3 dudes all said "whoooooa" next to us. I laughed but it felt awesome. Freaking love this jeep.
 
I've had my '21 392 for about a month now (bought it used and for way less than the previous owner, found his sales slip in the glove box).

It has been busy, so I couldn't get much done. Today I finally got a chance to install my KC Gravity 6in Pro and 813 Fabrication dead pedal. Put driving pattern lights in the middle and 40 degree on the outside. I wired the 40 degree lights to Aux 4 and the driving lights to a floor switch (I like the old school comfort of using my foot to activate the lights) mounted on the dead pedal.

Awesome....that was my setup on my 89 YJ Sahara! Best way to turn to high beams and fog lights! Congrats!!!
 
Installed the winch, synthetic rope, solenoid (wired to aux 4), and mounted the lights. Hoping the rest of the switch pros gets here today to wire everything.

Installing the synthetic line is a challenge! I broke the included wire, luckily had a roll of bailing wire and lined the loop with a little dawn dishwashing liquid and made all the difference!

Edit: I purchased the rock hard 4x4 fairlead light mount but I didn’t like the look so flipped it backwards, drilled new holes and now think it look good. The amber lights are even with the front bumper now.

I also snapped on the Mopar pedals the other day and really think they look great. Sorry I am not much of a photographer.

I also installed the Tuxmats and really like those. I need to get a pic.

A few things

Dana 44 AdvanTek front and rear Diff covers.
and
2 inch KC lights put into the rear window hinge covers.
small and very bright, actually angled up a bit so it
docent blind anyone but you can still see the great
in the dust.
also raised it up 1 inch in rear to 4 1/2 inches and front
to 4 inches. once its loaded up should squat just about
right.

I installed the 4x4 Spod last night under light of a Milwaukee work light. It was a very easy install IMHO. I used a lot of zip ties to bring the wiring to OEM level aesthetics. I did freak out for a few minutes; it wouldn't turn on until I discovered it has a power saving mode and won't turn on until the battery is over 12.5(?) volts. An engine start brought it to life.

I plan to move my Baja LP6s over to this and already have my Midland 575 on it.

I placed an order yesterday for an AAL M.A.S.S Plus platform, AAL Wide slide (for my Dometic CFX3 75DZ), two Dakota Lithium 23Ah batteries, and a Redarc 1225D DC/DC charger.

I may also try to fit my Yaesu FTM-400XD in the 392 as well

I'm sure you have done your research but if I were powering a CFX3 75 I would go with more power than two 23 Ah batteries. Of course this depends on how much you plan to drive per day when using the cooler. Even more so if you plan to run the cooler in DZ mode where one half is 0 degrees. That takes a lot more power.

Thanks for the feedback! I only did a bit of back of the envelope math and maybe tossed in some wishful thinking.

From their site:

Energy Consumption 12VDC (Ambient@90F, Internal@39F), [Ah/h] 1.43​

Maximum DC input Ah/h: 9.6

So somewhere between 1.43 and 9.6. If I average those two, I get 5.5a. 46a/5.5a = 8.34 hours. If I use their math above to maintain 39F, I can run purely off the batteries for ~32 hours. I have this unit at home and it doesn't take that much power to maintain a chill since, first and foremost, it's a cooler. If you have to start from room temp, I can see it taking a lot of power to cool to 0F. I also have a set of Yeti icepacks that I toss in to help as "cold batteries"

If I'm being totally honest with my motivations, I wanted an electrical project to mess around with. :)
