Things I Hate About The Wrangler 392!

[ShockerRacing]

After living with the Wrangler 392 I have to say it is an amazing Jeep, something they should have offered a long time ago. But lets be honest, there are a few things lacking with it that Jeep could have easily addressed. I am curious to hear what you all think about your 392 so far and if you have any complaints besides the price and the gas mileage! For me, I thought it looked ridiculous with the lift and 33" tires but that was an easy fix that 99% of us planned to change immediately anyway. Things I feel Jeep should have included were better brakes, like the SRT Mopars get, and the suspension/handling just don't match the feel of the performance motor. Since day 1, I have been saying that the Wrangler 392 is confused because it doesn't know what it is! The motor makes it want to be a sports car, but the brakes and suspension can't keep up! Here is my cliché "things I hate" video where I discuss this more in detail and explain how I have addressed these issues:

The thing I hate the most is I can't afford one.

Lol, the gas mileage and price are the two most obvious problems with the 392!

Throw in no cylinder deactivation on off button like my 15 Grand Cherokee has.

Oh wow, I didn’t know the Grand Cherokee had that option. That would be nice

Standard equipment on my SRT.

They skimped on a bunch of things they include on SRT’s. Seems like it would have been a reasonably easy fix for most of this stuff they already have on SRT models.

The good thing is, thanks you Shocker Racing we know what to do to get it as it should be

I want to see how steering is going to be on my 392 XR when it comes in, before I do anything.

I hope there’s an easy fix like range technology for GM &F150.

I've heard that a bunch of the "candy" will get added in the 2022 MY's as the 2021 was a rush-job to get released under COVID and supply chain challenges.

I will be interested to hear as well. Does anyone know if the XR still gets 7.5” wide wheels?

8” standard mode and 8.5” in beadlock

I wonder if they will make a true “SRT” version eventually.

Gonna have to watch...Ordered my 392 earlier this month and now is D1 status, hope the things I hate videos isn't to harsh on my 392 dreams lol
