Love it!!! A wobble is usually the steering stabilizer....death wobble is never that part, but usually the track bar. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us.
Bro your one of my favorite pages All your information has been great an informational for me Especially being that I just got my non xr 392 a month ago
So I just bit the bullet, and picked up a '22 392 XR, Firecracker Red, yesterday. Initial thoughts, LOVE,LOVE, LOVE it!! We MUST be neighbors, I recognize 80% of the places in this vid. I'm 60% finished with my new 5000sf shop in north Naples. Hit me up if you need a hand with YOUR Jeep.
Just got a 2021 392 with 26k miles. Glad I found your channel as I’ve gone down the “RUclips University” rabbit hole. Mine was owned by a couple “empty nesters” and was totally stock with a good about of tread left on the 33’s. It even looks like they 5-way rotated. I think I found a jem.
@@dvient no but I installed BFGKM3 mud tires which are 315/70/17. These are the size tires that came on the XR 392s. But they aren't a "true" 35 as they are really more like 34.5 in. But that allows them to mount on the stock carrier and no issue with my back up camera working either!
@@2kviper877 awesome to hear. Ty. I had the same metric size on my AEV MW3 JKU, but I had to install the Teraflex HD carrier. That same carrier is almost 2x the price, and 4x more involved to install on the JLU lol. I’m not one to take shortcuts on my builds, but the older I get, the more daunting another build becomes. Haha. I appreciate the reply.
I wonder if the suspension parts as a whole are any different on this 392 from a regular Rubicon, as per track bars front and rear, control arms etc. I am guessing they had to put in different front springs from the factory to accommodate the added weight of the engine or one would think so. I have a question that you may be able to answer as per them having done an alignment I gather, did you get the specs as per a before and after for toe and also the caster. I get the idea that most of the control arms on the wranglers from the factory are non adjustable and so it is what it is all based on the height of the suspension and the slight variables from vehicle to vehicle when welding together the axle housing and frame brackets for the control arms and the resulting caster angle. I suspect with all the past Jeeps you have mentioned that you have owned and also modified, the caster angle topic has come up time and time again due to steering wobble or vague handling.
I know that there was some frame strengthening and some changes but don't know the specifics. I did see a great video on this but can't locate it again. No I did not get the specs on my last alignment and I should have. I will be going back to have my tires rotated/ balanced in the next week and will also have the alignment checked. I will get the specs this time. Thanks for watching.!!
@@2kviper877 That would be great if you can remember to grab that info from them at that time, if they do adjustments then you will get a before and after spec. Its actually nice to always get them to print off a copy for your records and have a folder etc that you keep such info for each vehicle at your residence ( rather than how some use their glove box filled with crumpled up paper work/ receipts 😄)
@@charlesb4267 yea I don't know why I didn't. I have folders of receipts etc for all my vehicles. Tons of crap that will mean nothing to anyone unless I sell the vehicle. Lol
When the Fox wears out in 10 months, Swap out your new Fox steering stabilizer with the Falcon Nexus 2.2 adjustable one, and leave it on the middle setting. Thank me later. 😊
When the dealer installed the 35s, did they do anything to fix the speedometer/shift points and if so is that covered through the warranty? I know Tazer JL exists but if the dealer does it I was wondering if they have a way to have the computer read 35s.
Thanks for watching! I did not do anything to recalibrate it. Indicated Speed is about 2-3 MPH slower than actual speed. I do have a tazer but Haven't installed it yet. No issues with fitting or mounting spare tire. All stock. Shift points in off road + are 30, 50 and 75 mph. Not sure what they would be normally.

I'm at 30k miles and love this thing. 1st road trip coming up next weekend can't wait!

Great info. I’m looking to get into a 392 soon. We will see. Appreciate all your information. Thanks.
Thanks! If you're a Wrangler fan you'll love it. It's the way Wranglers should have always been made.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thanks for watching!
My lovely dream wild horse 392❤️❤️❤️👌👌
Always enjoy your vids.....thanks! I look forward to getting my 20th Ann 392 and see how it rides. Hoping that jeep doesn't have the Death Wobble.
Thanks! Your ride is going to be a beast. You'll love it! 13 Jeeps always modified. Only had death wobble twice. Old CJ and TJ.

Great find! You'll love it. Slap some 35s on it and enjoy it, they are beasts. And remember the offroad+ button is your friend!
@@2kviper877 so I have learned from your vids! Have you had any issues putting the 35” on the back without upgrading the tailgate hinges/carrier?

My 2024 Jeep Rubicon Extreme Recon 3.6L is soooo much better than my 2021 Rubicon…the improvements continue!
Good video, very thorough, thanks!
Thank you!

I've had great luck with FOX products over the years. I've put 20k miles on this since install and saw far so good.
What part of FL?
SWest
Right I upgraded my steering stabilizer to Fox took cars of the wobble
Excellent video very informative
Thanks! And thank you for watching!

Yeah my stock steering stabilizer is shot too on my Mojave jt with 37s haha, how much was that fox one you have there? I need one
It works great but expensive. $400.00
