I’m out of town for a couple weeks but I’ll have my wife take a few pictures.

I’ve owned two 3.0 diesel’s. One in a Jeep GC and one in a 1/2 ton. I’ve driven a Rubicon with the 3.0 diesel and really liked it but the 392 is perfectly mated with the 35” tires, 4.56 gears and the 8 speed automatic. Plus the sound!!! I know it’ll only get 1/2 the mileage of the diesel but we didn’t buy it for fuel efficiency.
We live in hill country and cruising 75 mph, not once did it drop out of 8th gear on the steepest incline.
I would have never ordered silver but seeing it in person absolutely changed my thoughts on it. Jeep tastefully combined it with all the accent colors so much so my wife is forbidding me to touch it other than what you cannot see.

I checked caster and drivers side has 4 1/2 degrees, passenger side 5 degrees. Lower control arms are only 24” eye to eye. I’ll buy adjustable lowers and get the caster out to 6 degrees. No lift though as this Jeep is about perfect from the factory.

Here’s a picture of the oil pan. I read a lot about it hanging down, this one is pretty tucked up.

Yeah, disappointing but it drives fine at 75 mph. Still breaking it in so have not explored high speeds yet.
