🛠️ What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

So one downside to the factory high line fenders is this creates a crevas that small sand and debris can become trapped and over time possibly rub through the paint causing a hot spot for rust. If you like me live in the rust belt this is a good solution that looks good and is removable to clean and easy to reinstall. It's epdm trim lok rubber tubing from Amazon.

I just did mine yesterday! Seems like it will help substantially. After 1 month of ownership I thought I was just going to have to include an angled pick into my washing regimen.

Yep, I did mine a few weeks ago.

Oh I love the look of that tie rod. Do you have a lift over the factory XR?

I do. 2.5” Clayton lift. The tie rod is RPM steering

Not today but yesterday I got rock rash on 2 wheels and a scrape on my back bumper. Not bad considering that I am still on paper plates. Definitely the hardest day of wheeling with it in the month that I have had it.

I had 4 spectators that were with my group, watching, and no one took a video or a picture. Come on man......

Installed an AAL cargo storage platform.

Hood scoop lights and a set of 35 inch grapplers, trying make it different without being crazy

I really want one but it leads into a fridge slide which leads into a Goose gear cargo setup which leads to more weight which leads to a 40% seat delete which leads to a full seat delete which leads to just a passenger able to ride with me...

I have AAL cargo shelf and fridge slide. Copied goose gear for the rear cargo setup.

Sadly it won't stop there because after all that weight, it will need a 3.5" Terraflex lift and 37s...which leads to new steering which leads to new bumpers since the bumper is already off...

I am super smart with the vehicles that I put a lot of money into. An example would be my TRX, I spent a lot of money on ADD bumpers, Rigid and BD lights, ARB, BuiltRight molle panels in the bed, 37s and a lift. Got it exactly where I wanted it and then traded in in on the 392. Before that, I did a ton of mods to my AMG and then traded it in for the TRX.

I have no idea what is wrong with me.

I already the lift and 37’s and all the other stuff. I keep telling myself I’ll be done after the next round of mods.

Currently getting sliders powder coated and steering boost kit from Apex is in the mail.

RTT should be here January.

It’s an addiction but it’s part of the fun

Clayton 2.5” overland paired with Fox 2.5’s from Accutune. RPM steering and Fox ATS stabilizer.

Go Accutune and do it right

Hey, I thought I blocked you...lol...

I am doing a 3.5 Terraflex RT3 with Falcon 3.3s. I have to trust my shop since I don't know anything other than drag racing.

Right?! It's the hunt for new bits. Then the anticipation of waiting for the new bits. Then they arrive and I'm like, well shit, now I have to work lol.

You’ll be fine with the Teraflex kit, ride issues arise when people try to pair off the shelf springs and shocks that weren’t tuned to the springs.

I’m just overly picky on ride quality, and it took me 4 iterations on my prior Jeep before I got it right. So I jumped straight to what I wanted this time.
