[Nomorefj]

I’ve seen y’all post your POC and ALL of them have the trail cam as an option. I dont think anyone put an order in for one of these without it!

The base price is$67k.

That is Motor Trend's estimate. Sources at Jeep saying north of $70k base price... hope they're wrong!

Hopefully it starts at 65-68k.

I was keyed in on 11/19 at 1:55 pm. Passed edit and awaiting scheduling BX

Very interesting, I can see people preferring black over bronze and vice versa. Bizarre that it seems to be up in wonder. I see all it’s says in the features is Mopar beadlock capable wheels. Usually they will say the color they are finished in.

Rims are bronze to match the 392 accents for recovery hooks, hood emblem and decal, and stitching on seats. Rock rings are black. The other black wheels shown at launch are the optional MOPAR beadlock capable accessory wheels. If you want them mounted as beadlocks, you'll need to order the optional beadlock rings and hardware when they become available though parts. You can always powdercoat the bronze at that time if you don't like it...

I am thinking 37's too. I think it will be hard to go down in size. May grab 35" AT's for the stock wheels and I intend to hang onto my mopar wheels with 37's from my current JLUR. 33's look too small, but I know I wont keep my foot out of it daily, and the 35's shouldn't sap too much power.

Good call 37's fit JL really well and shouldn't need to regear plus axles/ drive shIafts are more likely to survive. Anything larger will need 60's.

I asked my guy that exact question. Here’s what he said

“Mike if your question was why they initial order was build priority 99 – they are all 99 until the factory accepts the order and prioritizes it – yours is in 01 now. (see attached) And ALL HIGH DEMAND vehicles like Hellcats, TRXs etc, and this 392 will be in BG status (not considered for scheduling) until they get on the schedule – it is not something to be concerned about”

So there you go

Dealer picks order of priority. So if you have 3 allocations: 1, 2, 3 in order of arrival. VON is order that the vehicle was placed with Jeep and they go in that order to schedule unless an option(s) are restricted/ not available.

Have it on my D110 and really like it. Thought is was useless until I started using it... we wheel 40 - 50 days a year here in CO

I can’t remember if the original spec sheet mentioned it, but does anyone know the width of these wheels? 7.5” like all the other Rubicon wheels?

Yes, 7.5" That's in the normal configuration. Go to the beadlock setup and it changes but by how much, .5-1" so maybe to 8-8.5"??

 

[BCMgunner]

The big question is what is the backspacing?? 6+ like the stock Rubicon wheels or 4.4 like the MOPAR bead locks. Let’s all hope it’s 4.4”!

Aren't they the Mopar Beadlock wheels just in the goldish color??

They look different than Mopar Beadlocks. It's probably the same as the beadlocks spacing wise.

 

[BCMgunner]

I would hope. The reason I think they’re not is because the stock Rubicon rims are 7.5 inch wide with 6+“ back spacing.
The MOPAR beadlocks are 8” with 4.4” backspacing.

Given that we know the 392 Beadlocks are 7.5” wide like the stock Rubi rims, theyre more likely to keep to the same 6+” of the stock Rubi rims. Just my semi-educated guess though.

The very 1st thing I’m replacing are those heavy narrow rubbing ugly wheel space needed jeep 392 mopar wheel. One of the biggest disappointments with the 392., When I first saw the concept with 37’s I thought the finally got it right.
