Saw on one of the FB 392 groups a dealer has one set to arrive in a few days for a “High end client”. Evidently it has left the factory and is route to the dealership. Guess this client was able to jump the list.

as of yesterday, I was told by a source which I trust, that none had left the factory yet. So unless this is an FCA employee, that is unlikely (but entirely possible. I suppose if Snoop Dogg wanted one, he might be able to pull it off

I don’t know if it’s real or not. We’ll have to wait. I’m really not on board with anyone jumping the list.

Thank you so much for holding. I am showing that your vehicle is in the stage prior to being released by the plant. Vehicle may have been selected for additional quality inspections or held for delivery purposes. At Stellantis, you can be assured that we take vehicle quality seriously. Currently no Dealer ETA has been provided.

High end client...probably Jay Leno that lucky SOB.

I’m good with April 1st.

Have ordered everything. Waiting on choosing a diff skid. Holding out for now given the unknown of the dimensions of the 392’s thicker axle tubes.

What did you decide on for wheel offset, (assuming you also ordered new ones?) I'm hesitant to make a decision on wheels until I know if the 392 offset/backspacing is the same as the standard Rubicon.

I went ahead and purchased the original Mopar beadlocks with 4.4” of backspacing.

Given vehicle production regulations others have mentioned, I’m more certain than not that the 392 specific beadlocks keep with tires tucked within the fenders which would mean not enough backspacing to prevent rubbing on suspension/steering components with 12.5” wide tires.

Plan on painting the beauty rings satin black like on the Crystal granite concept vehicle riding on the original Mopar beadlocks with 35” trail grapplers.

How far out beyond the fenders do you think the tires will be with the 4.4" backspacing?

We have the original mopar wheels on my wife’s JKUR with the original BFGs. I can snap a picture when I get home.

Looks like they barely stick out if at all on hers..nothing like my XD Addicts (-12mm I think)

Thank you for posting the pictures. The original Mopar Beadlock wheels (any wheel) will stick put further on the JL Rubicon as the JL Rubicon axles are wider than the JK axles.

I see that you mentioned that you think those XD Addicts are -12mm offset, but what size diameter and width are the wheels and the tires in this pic? That looks absolutely bad-ass

Thanks man. Sadly my 13 JKUR will go to make room for the 392.
