So while I wait for even a VON, I'm still obsessed with reading about my future vehicle. Here's the problem - I can't make any sense of Jeep's claimed Xtreme Recon stats on the 392... standard Rubi, maybe. But not on the 392. The numbers don't add up.
Here's what I mean. The "35's" (315/70x17's) are 1.7" taller than the Stock 33's. At center, that creates .85" additional overall height.
So with just .85 inch increase, how does the 392 gain 1.1 inch fording depth, 2.6 inch additional ground clearance, and 4.1 degrees greater breakover. I'm too lazy to do the angle math, but I'm pretty sure .85 will give around two degree.
And this is all assuming the 392 KEEPS the standard 2" lift and doesn't drop to the Recon 1.5
Anyways... anyone out there that could explain this to me?
Approach angle: 47.4 degrees (up from 44.5)
Breakover angle: 26.7 degrees (up from 22.6)
Departure angle: 40.4 degrees (up from 37.5)
Ground clearance: 12.9 inches (up from 10.3)
Water fording: 33.6 inches (up from 32.5)
PS STILL glad I waited for the recon package regardless.
