I really like it. I had them put my old tires and wheels on it. I like the 9" wheels also figured they would handle 37 inch tires this fall better than 8 inch wheels.
I now have tpms problems. I think I need to replace the sensors different frequency than a 2018 Rubicon. I am also looking to do something with the one touch top.
I really don't think i will use it and hardtops are quieter. I may install hothead liner and see how that is. I enjoy driving it and the sound is great.

Nice ride you have there! I bought a set of Raceline Defender wheels and 37" Nitto`s and Mopar factory sensors for my year 2021 which happens to use an early 2021 sensor and a late 2021 sensor and my build date was 12/21 so you would think they would work? Nah and I had the dealer reprogram the TPMS system and no luck, he had mentioned that they have had some issues with certain aftermarket wheels. They do a lot of lift kits and other mods so I don`t know what to do other than shut the system off with my tazer.
Just for the hell of it check your tire pressure, I know the original set were at 37 psi, rides so much better at 32 psi
The first 392 I had did not have the factory headliner so I put a Hot Heads kit in it and like they say the best way to do it is to take the top off and flip it over.
On my 2nd 392 I ordered it with the factory headliner, not as thick as the Hot Heads but it works for me

Yup. TPMS Sensors from before 6-2021 won't work in a new 392, and vice versa. Congrats on the new ride by the way! You definitely chose the best color! ;)

I just put the hothead headliner on my SOT this week - what a difference! Totally recommended before you decide to swap the top out completely.

congrats on the new ride!

Now I am going to dig through my paperwork to see what sensors I ended up getting, ordered per VIN
I don't know the part number for the pre-6/21 TPMS sensors, but I know that the post 6/21 sensors are 68339096AB if that helps.

Discount tire has what say will work for 60 each installed and OEM has them online for 30 not installed. So not sure which way to go yet

I swapped out my old wheels and tires and also had TPMS problems. They don’t tell you that these new 24’s won’t connect to previous years TPMS’s. I battled with dealership for two weeks to put them in since i already paid for them in the new jeep. I tried the Discount tire route but dealership needs to connect the spare tire. It got complicated. In the end I threatened dealership with no more service or new vehicles and they installed the right sensors.
