To those who have said that Jeep stopped selling it because itās either a poor design or doesnāt drive well, there are 3 real reasons why the motor wasnāt a popular choice and got the axe:
1. Marketing. I canāt tell you how many people Iāve come across, including while off-roading, that had no...
Itās my daily. I have SOT so I go top back and windows down most of the time, unless I need my hair to stay put for work, but Iāve never removed my doors or back windows. But thatās also because I have a TJ that I usually run doorless with bikini top when I want that experience on a nice day...
I have a diesel, a manual 4.0 TJ, and a TRX, and my family has had many other Jeeps over the years for reference.
My dad and I went to Idaho to pick up his 392 and road trip back to AZ. And I can confirm that that vehicle put a smile on our faces and made us giggle like little girls for our...
I have the CavFab tire carrier, and one of their rear bumpers and didnāt have too much trouble. I did use the YouTube video shown earlier in the thread as a guide, which helped.
Overall, it is super high quality stuff and I get compliments fairly regularly on both the carrier and the bumper...
The 4.0 was an old school push rod and while I love that sound (and have one) it was never going to sound like that. The hurricane is much more similar to i6 motors found in BMWās, so as long as it sounds more like their standard turbo 6 and not the one in the m4, it should sound decent with...
I missed the order window for Tuscadero by 1 day when I tried to order with my dealer. Does anyone know of any 392 XR Tuscaderos with SOT for sale? Any off chance that someone ordered one and isnāt planning to move forward with the purchase? My wife has been really bummed that we missed out...
Yes, I forgot to mention that in my post. It seems to cut some heat, although I didnāt do the side panels so I canāt speak to that. It also cuts wind noise a touch which is nice. The top noise really isnāt bad to begin with, but cutting a bit of noise when the top is designed to cut heat is a...
I live in Scottsdale and have a TJ thatās bikini top only, no rear windows and a JL with SOT. The dust is a real concern. I donāt even try to keep the TJ clean inside, just wiped down enough so itās not filthy.
On the JL, the SOT is a game changer. I open/close it 2-3 times daily almost year...
I had the same thing happen to me in Flagstaff in summer when the Jeep was new. I had been driving for a few hours and stopped for fuel. Got back on the freeway and had no power. Pulled over, restarted it, and it was all good again. Lesson learned to not jump on it after a long drive and quick...
The dash lights up like a Christmas tree and the message center yells at you. Had this happen when my Jeep was a few days old (on 35ās) in Moab at 105Ā° and a few days later on Imogene pass at 60Ā°, but obviously very high elevation. Didnāt lose any performance, but wasnāt a fun experience seeing...
Itās kinda crazy that this engine option has been available for 18 months and there still arenāt any intake options. First to market gets my money. Who wants it?
Trick question. Itās impossible for that glorious motor to be too loud under any circumstance.
But really, itās pretty normal for any bi-mode exhaust to open flaps and be really loud in any performance engine. Corvettes, Jags, Ferrari, SRT/Hellcat, etc. Just part of the cost of performance...
I installed mine about a month ago and weāve had a few 100Ā° days now. No issues at all and noticeable improvements in heat and sound. All good so far!
Iād have a bit tougher time now choosing between diesel and 392, but I absolutely love the diesel. I take it to the mountains quite often and itās as good at 10k feet highway or offroad as it is at sea level. Effortless power for any situation. A lot of people complain about def but I donāt know...
Bikini top and no doors on my TJ or sky one touch and doors on, windows down when I want more flexibility with the JL. Enjoying this AZ heatā¦ for now.
How is that drive? I live in Scottsdale and have been taking a hard look at moving to or trying to split time in Whitefish/Kalispell.
To keep it on topic, Iāve had temp issues in summer on the big, steady grade on 17 just south of Mundās Park. You had no issues there towing a trailer? What was...
Anyone recommend a particular dealership for service? I bought my Jeep in Idaho and itās time for its first oil change. Iām located near old town Scottsdale. Iām really close to the dealership at Indian School and 101, but they were by far the salesiest of the several dealerships I visited...
