Finally installed the steering upgrades I had sitting in my garage for a bit. RPM drag link and tie rod, Fox stabilizer, and steer smarts track bar and Sector shaft brace.

Looks nice! Any noticeable steering improvements?

Steering is a bit more stable over bumpy roads.

Installed Diode Dynamics lights today. Look pretty good, I’ll check them out after dark and see what they look like.

Looks good! What bumper hoop is that? I have the Maximus-3 just like it, and I'm trying to figure out if I want to keep it and find lights that fit with it, or remove it and go with some Baja Designs LP6s.

But I'm also a big fan of the Diode Dynamics products. It's a tough choice!

This is a 20th Anniversary model, so it’s the hoop that came with that version.

As promised, here are the pics of my "Green Machine" 392. Poison Spyder Bruizer front and rear bumpers (w/tire carrier). 37 x 13.50 Ridge Grapplers, Black Rhino "Stadium" wheels (17 x 9.5) Warn Evo Winch, Rigid lights, Warn shackles, Rock Slide Engineering powered step sliders.

I assume you have the Recon and (had) the 35s? If so- how's the performance feel going to the Nittos?

I'm almost inclined to leave this 24 stock. Haven't found one good reason to mod it yet. Steering is very good. Plenty of ground clearance. Stock 35s are as big as I need to go. Interior is already better than any aftermarket garbage. Hmm.

Totally with you. I was cruising in the 80’s and thinking how stable the steering, tracking, etc is over bridge transitions, etc. My 2024 392 cruises as well as my 2021 ZR2 did. All I have done is installed a set of RSE sliders and dropped the tire pressure to 34 hot. Love it as is.

Got my first service done on my '23 392. Feels good.

Ramos, any update on the coil packs? Sill holding up? Still no issues? Failures? Or solid and recommend?

Sorry for the delay! They still working just fine! No issues!

Got my 35s installed and then I installed my ARB.

Installed the winch. Not sure whether that anchor makes sense though

ParadigmDawg · Nov 11, 2023

Installed LP6s today, winch plate and winch yesterday and onboard air a few days ago. I have driven it 50 minutes since I purchased it and worked on it 50 hours. I am ready to hit some trails tomorrow!!!

That is nice, how difficult was the installation?

Grab a spare one and head to my house

I was able to give mine a full wash and detail today. Once the Sunrider top was fully dried, I removed it and put the Freedom Panels back in. Even though we've had a late surge of warmer weather, you could feel the chill inside the Jeep, especially at night.

I tell you what, I didn't want the SOT but the best deal I found, happened to have one. It was awesome offroading yesterday with the top closed on the way to the trail, when it was chilly and then opening it on the trail when it warmed up.
