🛠️ What did you do to your Jeep 392 today?

[Jeepsterman]

I can't tell you how many times I said "That will be it...", only to find out it was the tip of the iceberg! LOL

Yea, I kept telling my wife the same thing! This is it baby!

 

[MaLuco]

Wow! Today was a very productive day. Not only did I get the front fenders mounted, I was able to get the rear installed. Although the front was a complete PITA, it was worth all the pain and agony. The rear install was insanily simple. You are so right Earl 392, nothing like a feeling of accomplishment and knowing that it was done correctly!

Super nice. Are these original Mopars? What made you decide to go for them? And you do perhaps have a front central view picture to see the new proportions with the flares?

Yes, they are MOPAR JPP steel fenders. I had Poison Spyder on my JK RECON and loved the steel over the plastic. What drew me to these fenders was the OEM look, with the higher off-road clearance; very solid.

My wife told me that the 392 was the end. And it kind of is. I think about my ‘79 CJ and can’t wrap my mind around the 392!

I know. I’ve had 7 Jeeps prior to this, and the 392, bar none, is the absolute best!

Made the jump to 40s. Still have some trimming and adjustments to sort out before a Moab trip in two weeks.

Looks great! I love my 40s!

Added my ditch lights to the 392 that I had on my Gladdy. Didn't realize that they would fit with the triple hoop but they'll work. Not sure what I'm doing with the tailgate situation yet since I have the less than par OEM on board compressor. Spare tire delete or run a spare? She's getting lifted in April can't wait.

If you delete your spare off the tailgate are you putting it in the back of the Jeep ? Are you wheeling without a spare? Just curious.
It’s too bad Jeep didn’t design a spot for it under the Jeep .

What gearing are you running?

Agreed, I would probably wheel without a spare. I've had great luck with the Nitto TG MT in the past. They're side wall is amazing. If something did happen I would borrow my son's spare off his Gladdy. Also I don't do crazy crazy rock crawling. I do like the CavFab and Teraflex tire carrier if do decide to go that route.

I loaded mine on a trailer today. I'm going to see how this works for extended vacations touring the country and running trails I have always wanted to do. Rubicon, Fordyce Creek, Dusy Irshim, Holy Cross, China Man Gulch, Independence trail, and more. We will be starting with Moab next week with 10,000 of our closest friends. Then, on from there.

 

[Colorancher]

I'm staying with 456s for this next Moab trip to see how they do. I'm a little concerned about slightly weaker gears with 513s. May go 488s if I don't like how it wheels. I have RCV in front and chromoly in rear. Truss and knuckles go on later this Summer.

Replaced rear bumper with MetalCloak full width rearh bumper and Diode Dynamics C1R rear hitch light.

MetalCloak front and rear diff skid plates. The front took a little extra work to fit over my ARB diff cover as the skid plate is made to work with stock cover only. I only needed to order four longer M8-1.25x40 bolts and cut the plate down a bit to fit ARB cover.

Next up is Armorlite flooring, and Coverking topliner.

 

[Red392]

My Moab showed up 2 weeks ago. Still on the first tank of gas. But in the mean time…..
Artec full skids, trusses, and spare tire delete.
RockKrawler 3 1/2 lift with shocks and steering.
Rockslider power steps

Full PSC steering
Badlands winch
KMC Machete wheels with 40” BFG KM3’s
Next venture motor sports rear bumper. Full fenders and inner fenders should be here tomorrow.
Mopar bull bar with light
ARB twin compressor. Waiting for the Kraken to get here
Tinted windows

Trying to get to EJS!

Nice! mine gets done in April. Did you go Long Arm?

 

[Red392]

Nice!
I did not go long arms. I had money down on Evo and King but Evo was moving AND they were out of King shocks with a vague delivery date of this week.
So better to spend $4000 on some bolt on mid arms and make it to EJS than to spend $20,000 and sit home waiting for parts.
I’m not going to lie, I did struggle a bit with cutting and welding on a brand new 392.
I can always upgrade when there isn’t a time crunch and part are available.

Agreed I had a 4.5 RK mid arm on my gladdy and loved it. So I decided the 392 gets special treatment LOL. But yeah I hear you on the cutting up a brand new 392.

Anyone that is considering an engine dress-up, please share your ideas. I've been looking for a dress-up kit but can't seem to find any/many options.

 

[Sasquatchilly]

I put 37's and I think it looks good

I think it looks great !
