Hey, new to the forums. From central WA state, apparently as far as we know I'm the only person in my neck of the woods that has a 392.

These are from a quick road trip we went on a couple weeks ago. Couple picks are from Grand Coulee Dam and the other is on the Keller Ferry.

I ordered her on Feb 11, watched her roll off the truck at the dealership the afternoon of July 21st and picked her up the morning of the 22nd.

I ordered it with the satin black grill, hinge-gate reinforcement, all-weather floor mats, hardtop headliner, trail rail system

You can see I've got the winch Warn VR EVO 10S, d-ring mounts, grill guard. I had jut put the BFG KO2 35's on Hutchison Rock Monster wheels. I have a Midland MXT400 MicroMobile GMRS radio mounted to a WAYALIFE CB bar.

Here's a pic of the TeraFlex Alpha tire carrier that I added last weekend.

Welcome aboard.... Thanks for the pictures! Where did you get the d-ring mounts? Part number?

Welcome to the 392 Forum! Congrats on the new ride!

Welcome! And nice pics!

QQ: does that short (Warn?) winch guard interfere with the camera at all?

Here's a link to the D-ring kit on amazon. You do need to make some relief cuts in the bumper and skid plate for them to fit. Its not a nightmare to make the cuts. Used a 4.5" grinder with the death wheel. Measured it a dozen times and then made the cuts. Then just mirrored the measurements to the other side. https://www.amazon.com/WARN-102370-Rubicon-Bumper-D-Ring/dp/B07KQ3Q5ZW

Pay no attention to my getto ass garage door...

I plan on getting Baja Design LP4 Pro lights mounted to the bumper under the bar. I never thought the camera would be super awesome but didn't want the regret of not getting it. But you can still see a lot of stuff with it there.

GREAT looking rig!

So I bought a pair of Mopar Lower A-Pillar mounting brackets PN: 82215427AB and turns out, they don't fit a 392 because of the height difference in the hood. I thought I was out $145. I was pretty bummed out because I liked the way they looked and could mount lights or whatever on the top and the sides.

Some measuring, some new bolts, some brass bushing for spacers, some 3" x 1/8" flat bar, some 1/4" bolts and 4 hours of refab and voilà, I made magic happen.

Picture with them on a blue Jeep is what they would have looked like had they fit. You can see what I did with the side plates to accommodate the height change.
