My Moab finally arrived

Moab came in 2 weeks ago, enjoying it so far. Also have a '22 JLUR and I'm surprised at how much better the 392 drives and handles. Seems smoother, less bumpy, more stable. Heavier? Stiffer springs, better shocks? Not sure why. Ordered the SOT and I've had a couple convertibles and this is very similar. I just hope it continues working. Got the rubber flooring as well, wish it was standard over carpet.

Anyways, I'll be around.

Welcome aboard. Agree on how the 392 w/ 35s drives/handles; lesser jeeps just don't compare. Folks who have ridden in mine comment on the difference in ride (much smoother and responsive), then when they drive it - they are astonished at how direct and how much feel it has. Buddy called it a 'supercar masquerading as a Jeep'. You're gonna have a lot of fun, enjoy...

Congrats and welcome to the 392 Club!

Lol, I'm not sure about "supercar" as I've owned a few performance cars, one being a SRT Grand Cherokee. But, I feel this Wrangler is smoother than that was. SRT was too stiff, Moab seems firm but compliant, much like my Cayman was.

Something else, the brakes are way better on this Moab over my '22 Rubi. I think I'm going to get the fluid changed and see if it helps.

Understood, but - once you drive one - and realize what it's capable of, and still drive everyday... it's a FUN replacement for boring. And you'll be on a first name basis with the local gas station folks...
