Have about 2-3 foot of snow in Eastern NC today (still falling) and snow mode did fantastic on my WK2 with Wildpeak AT3W’s
Jeep parts reviews
Swapped the 21’s and summer tires off my summit reserve for 18” XDs and Kumho Venture with a 3 peak mountain snowflake rating. Had 10” of snow and didn’t bat an eye in snow mode.
My 2021 Compass wouldn't start. I got a jump from someone. My Compass started up but went into "limp mode". The next day it wouldn't start at all. So I replaced both batteries and everything went back to normal.
Turned out the previous owner took care of it outside of maintenance. Fuel filter was totally clogged, we had to run engine cleaner through, get the tires realigned and some other stuff. Overall we went from 21mpg to 27mpg.
I replaced mine at 50K with Falcon 2.1's, should have done it day two when I put 35's on ('20 JTR). Rides so much better, wallowy handling gone, bottoming gone, just a big, big upgrade.
Word to the wise, avoid using anything but the OEM recommended Champion Iridium plugs. Jeeps are pretty finicky when it comes to the sparkies.
They added an extra battery for the start stop feature, which can be turned off, to help preserve the main battery draw. That is the biggest issue on the jeep. Talking a new battery every two years.
Moog is a decent brand from my experiences. Haven't used a TJ setup but I have used a ZJ setup. Was good for a stock upgrade but with 6" lift I assume you have larger tires and TBH it still is a lot of weight hanging out at the ends and there still may be some slop in the steering overall.
Tires are the most important thing. The Bridgestone Ecopias that came on my Overland were useless in snow. I was slipping and sliding in 2”.
They’re complete garbage. i had one go bad at 11k. I also had all of them replaced due to the bottoming out issue on my diesel. I couldn’t wait to get them off my Jeep. They last about 20k. Replaced them with Bilstein 5100s.
