Is jeep going to do something for people don’t get the golden tailgate tag?

So a bend hood, missing carpet, and loose steering 392 will be worth even more money down the road.

Sounds like separate issues. This is about a silver plate vs a gold plate.

Good luck on the other stuff.

If the wrong tag doesn’t bother you then more power to you

Some people just want things done the right way. It’s more about Jeep doing something “correctly” rather than “special”.

It’s also an easy fix, Jeep will comp you or you shell out $80.

Well, the dealer finally got my plate in and installed it for me.

Interesting didn’t know there was a silver version

The “silver version” was just the standard JL Wrangler four-door/2 door plate that is in the back of all of the regular four doors. It did not have the correct information regarding the forwarding depth, and it also incorrectly showed that there was a two door version of the 392 which there is not. The first round of 392s didn’t have the correct gold badge that I have on there now

Gotcha. The image looked a bit “silver” before. Was my screen brightness

If I had this instance of the wrong tag on my Jeep, I would leave it as-is. Might be worth someting and more of a rare oddity for future value.

The wrong tag is just the standard tag on all JLs. I’m sure I can keep it once the replacement comes on the 7th.

I would have paid $80 and swapped it myself rather than argue with the dealer, wait for them to get it in, then have to go back and wait while on of their monkeys hopefully installed it correctly. I would have put the old one on my tool box or something.

Shouldn't the fording depth be different on a regular Rubicon vs a Sport? And if you get a Mopar lift at the dealer, shouldn't the fording depth be changed again? This whole tag issue is going to turn into a full blown crisis for Jeep. Everyone start gather your pitchforks and torches!

I'm not fording any water crossings any where near 32" deep, at least not intentionally. I'm starting to think these Jeeps are pretty sensitive. I'm thinking a 392 with the wrong tag wouldn't run very well. Not until it has the right tag.

The inside of my tailgate is painted with wrinkle finish paint. Do others have that? Might by a feature of the 392 as my '20 3.6 rub tailgate is perfect. Damn, if it had the wrong tag I'd look to lemon law it for sure.

Jeep sent me the wrong plate... with the wrong part number.... and I specifically gave them the correct part number. Smh.

Wonder if that tag part number now has a "superceded by ..xxx..." p/n.

Just picked up my non-XR 392 today. It has the *35" tire tag. It seems to suggest that the base 392 and the 392XR are going to share a tag by listing both 33" and 35" tire water fording depths.

However, I'm taking it to mean that I'm supposed to change to 35's immediately

yes, it appears they do share a tag … here’s my XR tag:

My question is... instead of having jeep remove my incorrect badge and replace it with the gold 392 badge.... should I keep the incorrect badge in place and ask for the gold 392 badge to be attached elsewhere? Like a collectable mis-printed penny? Will it be even cooler to have a 392 w the incorrect and correct badge?

Yes.

I didn't miss anything. You can make all of the assumptions you want but the facts stand. I doubt it was a failure more likely a decision of when to cut over to the new tag. (I don't necessarily agree with them).

Wrong again, I had a 392 for two weeks but my son begged me to let him buy it from me....so I did and can borrow whenever I like. Worst gas mileage in a long time and too stiff for my old frame!

I already shared a story of a Jeep "Fuck up" regarding my 2018 Rubicon, but when I discover an issue I know there is only one person that's going to drive the resolution...me.

I've had close to 50 new vehicles since my first of 1970. (Plymouth GTX 440 6-pak, 4 speed). That wonderful vehicle came with a switch key that didn't fit the door locks, I had 3 different tires on the car (all same size, different brands), no spare, missing lug nuts, a trunk cover that leaked worse than a culindar and the transmission and rear end were replaced at 3,800 miles.

I'm not covering for anyone, just commenting how manufacturing works.

You had me at Plymouth GTX 440 6 pack. Real cars.
