If Fred Flintstone knew the giant order of ribs was going to tip over his car, why did he order them every week?

How is the aftermarket support? I see people talking tires/ wheels/ etc but nobody talking armor (skid plates) and only a few talking suspension.

What are your thoughts on running 37's on stock drivetrain with the 392 variant? I've seen a lot of bench building/ bitching but very little real world experience.

Have you added a tuner? What kind of stuff have you done, if so? I heard you can put it in (basically) a 2wd mode with a tuner, which I haven't been able to confirm or disprove based on second hand accounts.

How is your real world experience with it, driving it every day? It's been hailed as "one of the best Jeeps every that should not exist"- Does it live up to the hype?

How often do you not mention that your wrangler is a 392?

I have a "base" 392 if there is such a thing :) that I daily drive. Kind of annoying to have the 99 mph limiter. And the faster 0-60 of the XR is interesting. Do you see downsides to those benefits? How is it on the highway? What MPG are you seeing?

real world MPG?
It's all in the foot.
There is this what I would say feels like a dead space/spot from when your foot hits the accelerator. That would be what I call eco mode and it's not actually dead. The Jeep moves gracefully and gets about 20mpg average if you stay confined to this.
This is probably what a pedal commander would remove. Other than that, the 392 wants you to flog it so if you aren't trying for eco it's about 12mpg. But like I said, you can control what you want from it.

Did the fix the oil on or does it still hang super low? Last 392 I looked at the drain plug was almost level with the front axle tube. That just screams serious damage to me.
The oil pan has been fixed. It's much higher up and drain plug is on the side now-
