Why, why, why, would Jeep engineer a transfer case with all the problems this one has. I wondered how long it was gonna be till someone did an Atlas. Awesome!
They took the transfer case from the Grand Cherokee. Jeeps way of not having to beef up the axles, cause if it had been a factory 2wd selection people would have blown the rear axle up instantly.
@@boostdtalonyou bring up an interesting comment. Can you explain more on what you mean by this? I’m not so automative savvy, but trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks
@@kyle6703 By using an all wheel drive system from another platform, it keeps a manufacturing costs down. it’s easier on the axles when the power is dispersed between all four.
@@boostdtalon Ah that makes sense - appreciate it. What’s your overall thoughts on the 392 transfer case in terms of reliability and performance? I’m seeing comments from people who say because this tcase is a clutch system, the tcase clutch pads are prone to wearing out and creating issues. Seeing cases where some people are required to replace their tcase entirely due to this. What’s your thoughts? If you had the choice, would you prefer a regular wrangler non-clutch tcase?
Went all out about 12 years ago and put an Atlas 4 speed in my YJ. 2.72, 4.3, and 11.7 when I combine them. 2.72 is for sections of trail that need some slow down. 4.3 is for serious technical rocks when 2.72 isn't quite slow enough. And both boxes in low range is mostly great in parking lots so I can start the JEEP and go set back down and finish my coffee and let the old blue JEEP come pick me up when I'm done. I LOVE my ATLAS !!!!!!!!!
ABSOLUTEY LOVE Atlas TCs !!! Been following them from prototypes to production, what 20 yrs or so... May be time to get another one...got a 78 Ramcharger needs resurrection...
Nice video. I just watched a video of a guy saying he stayed clear of the JLU AWD transfer case because it’s a clutch system, not truly mechanically locking. Main reason is because there’s been issues with AWD tcase clutches wearing out and causing issues. Curious to your thoughts on this and if it influenced your decision at all going to the atlas.

Squatting in the back to much. R u adjusting this look
Collin/Matt, I too have a 392 currently on 38's and have been considering the Atlas. Any issues with the computer or using offroad+ mode? Thanks
No issues whatsoever! No lights on the dash either.
Great! Thanks for the reply-@@Built2Wander
@@Built2Wandercan you please help in sharing specs of Atlas in case I want to order for my 392. I am outside US this is why
The Atlas is a dynamite upgrade! 🧨

what about the computer, are there any issues
No issues with the computer!
Where did you get the boot made ?
Local upholstery shop in Colorado Springs.
Can you still flat tow the 392 with the Atlas ? Like how the stock system allows ?
Does the 392 put on a smoke show like the 3.6 if it stays vertical for a while?
God I hope not for that kind of money.
Great question. I haven’t experienced that yet!
All you need to do is install a catch can for the engine venting. No more smoking out due to oil in the intake.
@jeffriley2502 After that add 1 quart of Walmart oil to that smoke show engine.
Loving it, what a great build
Thank you!!
Is that electrical tape on the link bar jam nuts?
No - they are rock nuts from RockJock 4x4 which are anodized black.
