What do we want to know from the first to receive the 392?

[BCMgunner]

I’ll add one.

How much thicker are the axle tubes? Jeep states thicker axle tubes on the 392. Would like to know as I’d like to install a rear differential skid but most the skids available have a U brackets that sit around the tubes. Likely Rubicon diff skids won’t fit the 392.

Curious as to what you plan to do if it's not primed underneath?

A good coating of primer, or some other coating. Perhaps a resin or epoxy type of coating. Even a painted on DuraLiner, just under the hinges, would be better than nothing. At least it would provide a barrier.

What quality issues they have. Any loose drive train nuts and bolts, fluids levels ok, etc.

What's your best Daytona lap time?

Dyno numbers. I'm interested to know how much HP the AWD system takes.

Me thinks you might not like the answer to that question...

Just kidding, but I'd imagine it has to be huge, just by the sheer weight of all the components alone. The weight of the wheels & tires aren't going to help much either. Just taking a wild guess here, but if a typical car is somewhere in the vicinity of 15%, I'd bet the Jeep will be closer to 20% or more.

Why the hell would we drive around it and time it? It's a Jeep, we would drive OVER it.

The bar has been set, and it's up to the 392 to raise it.

I heard same as the Mojave, if you can find that documented somewhere.

This question has been lingering in my mind for the first to get theirs, are the seats any different? In part of the 392's description is claims to have "ELEVATED INTERIOR" with " Premium seat bolsters." Is there any difference in the seats or is this just word manipulation?

Edit: JeepChat put in an official inquiry for me, answer should be here in >48hr.

I have not seen this documented. Would be interested in this as well. No idea how the 44’s are going to hold up to this much power off road.

How long did it take you to break an axle?

How long did it take you to break an axle?

I have seen two break in Moab. One on a stock rubicon with 35”s and another on a lifted rubicon with 37” tires. Neither were being overly heavy on the throttle. It is one of the main reasons I am holding off on the 392. If the axles are not significantly stronger, you will need to spend another 18k on Dana 60’s. That takes the build up past 100k when you add in tires and real bead locks, bumpers etc. I am hoping my 44s make it through the warranty period and then I will upgrade to 60s. I am not sure they would last that long with serious wheeling on a 392.

Thanks for starting this, great idea... I would like:

1- Clearance with the stock tires, I want to put this thing in my garage and I would like to be able to put 37s and a rack on it but I fear I don't have enough clearance at 83"...

2 - A sound clip please

3 - How is the acceleration from 0-30

4 - Do the paddle shifters really work, are they located appropriately

Many Thanks !!
