New 392 Owners Upgrades & Mods

[blnewt]

So it boils down to $89.00 or $168.00

Shorter IS $169.OO
Taller is $89.00
After having both The 392 Rubicon and the 392 Rubicon XR I think they look better sunk into the wheel vs looking like a mistake was made

And the shorter and most expensive ones have a much larger seating taper so should provide best mount (at least in theory). IMO having the largest surface area clamping down on our extra heavy tires/wheels and cranked down to 130 ft lbs, I want the big ones!

These are the extra stout ones, and the ones I'd recommend

And the smaller set, better if you need clearance at the lug bores w/ aftermarket wheels

And the tall set, it says chrome finish in the title, but has pics of black ones, and also says black in the item description. Better check the part # on them prior to ordering.

Those ones you posted are the ones in the middle link in my post
https://www.amazon.com/Gorilla-Auto...illa+automotive+system+jeep+jl,aps,140&sr=8-5
Not nearly as stout as the ones that @alksion ordered but those would be good for wheels that don't allow you to run the nuts that have the large seats.

I would avoid the ones posted here, those are basic spline nuts, no locking feature and have minimal seat area.

Thanks for the info, what you are saying makes sense, I just could not believe that Walmart had so many Jeep parts, kinda like Amazon. I have not been on their site in years, who knew that you could buy an axle assembly from Walmart lol
Lug nuts are the last thing I want to skimp out on.
I had no idea there were so many versions of 14x 1.5 lug nuts made by Gorilla, and different colors too. I hate to say it but Walmart opened my eyes to something that I did not know about

Yeah, I did a bit of lug nut work in this thread, but I'm glad I did as I'm very happy w/ what I ended up with since I don't have the OEM wheels

What would you consider for the factory rims? These are the ones you had listed but yet they say they will not fit a 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Not sure why they're listed as not fitting, I see no reason they wouldn't, but the mounting taper is smaller than the $160 set so maybe that's why they list it like that. But they have the 60degree taper and are 14x1.50 thread, I have no doubt they'd work. Might see if you can find a contact # for Gorilla and ask their tech dept. just for clarity.

Here's some posts that might be of help (couldn't find any regarding that middle set though)

The $160 set

Those cheaper & longer ones

And a good post from @Rhinebeck01 about how to handle the lug nuts, best that they never come in contact w/ air impact drivers (that goes for all lug nuts IME).
