    My memory agrees with yours.

    Rear bumper tire carrier suggestions

    No. They do add an extra step when you're opening the tailgate, though. And generally require you to also change your rear bumper.

    Rear bumper tire carrier suggestions

    Certainly possible. In which case, you need to first fix the jacked tailgate, then reevaluate the carrier.

    Rear bumper tire carrier suggestions

    Which Smittybilt carrier? I have installed this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZDW2R8S/?tag=jkforum-20 on two JKUR's and a 392. The JK's are on 35's, the JL 37's. No sagging. No problems of any kind. It's rated to 37" or 135 lbs.

    Will a grille from a 2011 JK fit a 2016 Jeep JK?

    A JK grille is a JK grille.

    Drove it to the oncologists office for labs.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    Yes. If you look closely at this shot, you can see where it folds itself up at the rear of the cabin. That opens the entire seating area. And if you want, the window panels for the cargo area are held in place by two clamps, just like the Freedom Panels. Open them and the cargo area is open to...

    A few shots from our weekend trip. Medano Pass, the back way (and more fun way) to get to the Great Sand Dunes.

    No spark from new coil #3 but fine on #6

    Nothing, yet. But we're getting ready to pick up 3 (of the 17.5) grandkids and take them to Medano Pass.

    The 392 has D44 front and rear. They're 1.5" wider than the standard Rubicon axles. My understanding is that they're also stronger, but I have not yet found details of exactly how. I suspect it comes down to axle shaft material and spline count. I think Jeep had to figure out a way to keep the...

    @Speartip, I looked at the spare today and it's got about 5" of backspacing. Admittedly, that's an eyeball measurement, but it'll be close. And I found that the axles are about 1.5" wider on the 392 models. Combine that with the Motobilt flares, and I think that's what you're seeing.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    I'm not sure. I know the 392 D44 is beefier than the regular Rubicon, but I do not think they're longer. I'll measure the backspacing when I get the chance.

    Check TPM System

    I think most of us have used JScan to just turn them off. Also, 32 PSI is higher than most of us find ideal. Have you done a chalk test?

    Traction Board Mounting

    I wouldn't suggest any traction board. If a traction board will get you out, you weren't really stuck to begin with. A spare tire and your buddies winch will do you more good.

    What did you do to your JK today?

    So we put about 700 miles on it in the two days we've had it. We love it. Honestly, I feel like this is the engine every Wrangler should have. It's been named Zeus, and we will be taking it off road next weekend.

    The PO is the dealers service manager, but the dealer (Hurst Autoplex) has a custom building service. Run by the service manager and a couple of fabricators. They do nice work. He had take off the spare, which I asked him to mount. He did, but that left it without a plate. So he fabbed up a...
