What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

Just something we will have to deal with.

If the Gorilla Glass is supposed to be so strong, why do many break?

If the Gorilla Glass is supposed to be so strong, why do many break?

There’s a bunch of posts praising and hating on Gorilla glass on the Wrangler forum. I think it depends where the rock impacts the glass. Honestly the flat profile of our windshields are just prone to getting chips / cracks. I had my 22 w non gorilla for a week before I got my first good sized chip. Now I have a few. I’m waiting for a full crack before replacing it. I’ve been thinking of doing PPF / film on the new one.

That happened to me with a little over 1000 miles on the clock...$830 replacement.

I inquired about replacing mine with GG, but the cost was ~$1600 vs $830. According to the dealer, GG has a different film between the panes.
I went with the standard Mopar windshield. The glass place was unable to recalibrate my ACC so they only charged me $500 and said I'd have to get Jeep to recalibrate it for $400. I have not done so and it's working fine so far. I did notice the speed limit window on the GPS was showing 72 mph on 45 zone for about 2 days then it started working properly.

I tint all my windshields with 70%. It doesn't keep it from chipping, but helps with cracking.

Has anyone used PPF on a windshield ?

Exoshield Windshield Protection Film 4300 mile road trip review.

Hi folks, I was fortunate enough to to win a windshield protection kit from forum sponsor Exoshield. Timing was perfect, as a multi-state road trip out west was planned, and I had already done the windshield replacement thing once in a year. “A man’s gotta know his limitations…” is what...

I had the guys that installed my Full Xpel PPF install the Windshield protection film from https://racingopticsjeep.com/ so far so good! I know while driving at 55-60 mph I have had at least 2 hits from rocks/gravel with no signs of damage chips etc....

2.5 DSC ? Stock Springs ? What changes did you feel ? They are on my list !

Yes, 2.5 DSC on stock coils. Smooth ride, slightly firmer, I sure like it. Originally planned to install with Clayton Performance Coils which I purchased (any takers?), yet, felt this would be much to stiff once I received and realized these are the same coils they use in their 2.5” and 1.5” kits (which I’ve had in the past and felt were overly stiff/rough). I think ride quality is subjective, I’m pleased with how it turned out in my 10 miles of drive time since install.

Thanks for the feedback ! They are on the top of my list.

1. Off the shelf or Accutune ?

2. What settings on the Low Speed and High Speed knobs ?

Thanks again !

Accutune, not sure on settings for knobs, I didn’t change how they came out of box, I can follow-up on this later.

Wife took a pretty cool picture the other morning. Raining and sunshine with a rainbow all at 8am lol. That's Florida for ya.

Had to join the club…smoked lens on the scoop lights.

Looks good. I put mine up in the upper scoop trim out of direct sight. Only thing you can see is the reflection. However can't see anything in daylight. Yours can be seen in the daytime.

You can see these pretty well in the daylight. What’s funny is that I have a red strip exactly where yours is….for showing off at the mall etc. I connected the TRX lights to AUX 4 and set the switch up for latching, on with ignition and recall last state. So I’m able to turn them off when the street glow is necessary.

Also with the switch set up like that the TRX lights come on with remote start.

Took my dogs to the dog park after installing the dirty dog full cargo cover. Was able to snap a decent sunset pic. After seeing a few with the fender chop lights from Quake and AAL, I think I’ll be diving into that next.
