When ordering a 392, why so many XRs?

I don't get the OP's point. It's like saying, "Why go with DDs? More than a handful is a waste!"

Maybe it's their mobile site, but I can't even find a spec on there? Of course 8.0" is the xr wheel width in non-beadlock configuration anyway, so that still proves my point.
Click on each tire, then scroll to the bottom and click "show more details". Yes, they could have made it easier.

My point is: the manufacturer is the only authoritative source.

Nobody said it? Raised speed limiter. 110mph instead of 97.

yes I do wish I had that extra 13 mph to overtake the Prius in front of me.

My point is the valuable upgrades of the XR package are for non 392 models. But I understand that if you are spending $80k what is another $4k. And with that model(392)most are just checking every box when they order. But I wondered if anyone thought it was a little bit of a ripoff since the high dollar upgrades that that package is adding for the same price to a non-392ā€¦. You already paid for, Hd axles etc. higher quality suspensionā€¦. But I get that most people donā€™t care.

You can't do gears and 35's for under $4k even if those were the only difference.

Too Many
Of course youā€™re entitled to your opinion but why dog anyone for what they spend their money on? I for one canā€™t wait for my 392XR to be delivered. Is it a toy? Sure. Is it frivolous? Probably. Iā€™m not buying it to ā€œmake me feel betterā€ though. Iā€™m buying it because Iā€™m pushing 50, I work my ass off and I think itā€™ll be cool.



Agree with everything except the part about "making you feel better". I darn sure "feel better" when I drive mine. :like: :like: :like:

I Live in an area that everything is 2x the cost as most and I did 35s for $750ā€¦. gears are less than 2k, but for 35s I want 3.73s.

The jeep comes with tiresā€¦. I think that people forget that maybeā€¦
Yes the Jeep does come with tires, but where is the tire option from Jeep ? 5 x 35"s for $750
Are you referring to selling your stock tires and adding the $750 to get 35`s?

Yes, selling take offs, the upgrade is about $500-750, conservatively.

BTW. Selling takeoff parts is like a rite of passage for when a Jeep buyer becomes a Jeep ownerā€¦ :like:

Thatā€™s weird, because using your own logic, why did you buy that nice JL in your profile pic when there are much older, far less expensive Jeeps that can do the same thing? Oh no, looks like you ā€œwasted your moneyā€. šŸ˜²

The next question is WHY? Why did you waste your money buying a nice, new, shiny white JL Wrangler instead of an old, rusty, beat up Jeep that is just as capable..

Was it maybe, ā€œStatusā€?

And as others have mentioned, Iā€™ve never understood why people like yourself feel the need to make disparaging comments about what other people buy with their own money.

I guess it just ā€œmakes you feel betterā€ huh? šŸ™„

Funny how that works.

Seems that my comment tickled many people in the wrong spot.

I simply commented to OP that XR package cannot be justified purely based on is it worth ofroad upgrade for the price. Just like you cannot justify buying V8 Wrangler or anything more then just a base Wrangler purely based on ofroad capabilities. You would just buy base model and mod it to have more ofroad capable vehicle.

As to who buys top options and what they do with them -it just facts.

People on this forum are the minority.
