I have a gladiator willys sport, wish they would at least put a 5.7 in it, even detuned, would make so much of a difference and hopefully keep the price reasonable
You can get a 5.7 put in it it will cost you around 30k
Great review 🙌
I’ve got the XR and love it. Super happy with the shocks and the ride. Sure I’d like to have the Fox branding on my shocks but I’m not convinced they are better. Mine rides perfect. Also, not a big deal but I’m pretty sure that’s a 2021 because the front seats only have the one stitching across the bottom pad, the video title says 2022. Thanks for all your content, it definitely helped when I was ordering my 392 last Nov. received it this June. Funnest vehicle I’ve ever owned.
They need to make a 392 Gladiator
I choose the Jeep Wrangler 392
Exactly guys! Doesn’t matter which one, cuz there is only 1 392. You get this for the factory 392 engine already in it.
I own a 392 and 3.6 XR. The 392 is for fun and special get aways. The 3.6 XR is a for a fun daily. Either one you choose, it’s a fun ride.
If you plan to keep it stock go with the XR. If you're going to build it go with the standard so you don't pull 90% of the XR package off.
Mine was crooked as well, I made a video when I straight piped mine and its a simple fix to get them straight with just a 13mm socket! Hope it helps you fix your personal Jeep!
Ben mention a 2:5” extra lift on the XR is that accurate
Thanks
@@karlleleu6425 I really haven’t looked hard at an XR I imagine it’s about .5 higher than the standard 392 I could be wrong but the only thing that I think helps the height overall is of course the 35s. I just ordered 38x15.50 for mine with stock fenders and stock suspension and It might even fit haha
Ahh good to know!
@@---rg1gb Godspeed brother!
I would definitely choose which I already have I’ve just ordered one the standard 392 simply for the fact most jeap folks that have alot of experience with the JK and the JL minimum tire size would be 37‘s if you’re looking for a jeep that’s already done and you’re not going to modify it I would say yes the extreme recon package is good but for someone like myself that’s going to be running 39 inch tall tires And 3 1/2 up to 4 1/2 inch lift kit with very high-end shocks for example the fox 3.0 shocks which cost a little over $4000 the standard version is better also the tire carrier on the back is not up to par for carrying heavier bigger rear tires I think it’s OK for a 35 inch tire but if you’re going bigger you’re gonna have to pull that off and replace it , it does come with better gearing on the extreme recon package which I think would be good up to 37 inch tires but I can put new gears in the differentials in one day and it’s not going to cost that much money so if you’re looking for a stock jeep that will do alot The extreme recon package is good but if you’re going to modify it buy the standard one because you’re pulling everything off anyway. Thanks for the video👍
Awesome jeep..Gonna buy one.
Hello, Ben! Ae you sure, that 392 XR has more lift then regular 392? It looks not very tall. May be it has standart XR-package suspension, because of this the shocks are usually Jeep's, but not Fox?
Love this color. May have to trade my rubicon 21 for this?
Awesome jeep like it
With 470 h.p. in a wrangler platform, Jeep should have branded it "Kamikaze" instead of Rubicon
I don't know if the 392 is worth it the cost. However I still like the pinstar 6 better than the V8 because you still have some zemblance of mileage.
The other factor is the V6 fits better underneath the hood so you can put other toys in there without taking off the engine panels.
Test drive one and you'll understand.
You can always put larger tires and you have clearance. But adding lift you lift body and pumpkin will stay in the same place where it was. So will have same clearance. When you add larger tires then you rise clearance because pumpkin go up.
So you could add 35's easily your saying? Without having to re-gear or have rubbing issues? I can't get xr anymore so disappointed with that.
$89k with almost 8k miles; it's a bit high for a non-XR model. But I guess I'm here for the Jeep 392 content until I get my new 392 😆
Thanks for making me feel better about my decision to getting the “regular” Gobi 392, as I will probably just go over the Starbucks curb, with the occasional mall crawling 😂
If Gobi was out when i got mine I wouldve went with Gobi but, I couldnt pass up the deal on my 392 at the time, Thankfully I love the stingray color.
Go over to those curbs like a Boss. Seriously, its nice not to have to even think about them anymore. After busting up several low sitting sports cars....gotta love sitting up on 35" tires 😂
I would buy it
Easy fix.......get the non Xtreme Recon and add 35" tires. Retain the Fox shocks, improve off-road capability. That seems like the sweet spot!
Yeah but the 4.56 gears are an advantage of XR.
@@zacharymitchellwtx maybe....depends on what the use is. Most will spend much much more time on the road than rock crawling
@@spinevice7689 my point is XR is more than just 35s and shocks.
@@zacharymitchellwtx i totally get it. but are those differences worth the cost difference? I don't think so
Why did the dash startup screen show Wrangler and not Rubicon?
my exhaust for my 392 doesn't have that issue (thankfully)
I got the unlimited sharhara I like the 392 omg
2022 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited JL Rubicon 392!
Is the XR 392 2.5” taller than regular rubicon Ben Hardy ?
No, he was incorrect in what he said. The 392 is taller than a regular Rubicon and the same height as any Rubicon with the XR package. The 392 already has the lift that the XR package would give a regular Rubicon. The regular 392 suspension is softened in the back over a regular JL , but I don’t know if they did the same on a 392 with the XR package.
Por favor es automático?
Hi you saying 2.5” inch extra on top of regular 392. Can you confirm that ?
No, it’s not.
Paráda 👍
I build these 💪🏾
I went with the XR package as I didn't want to have to piecemeal putting 35s and gearing. I don't plan to do any other modifications and liked that I could get it the way I wanted it from the factory. However, if you plan to do your own wheel/tires, gearing, and other major mods that many jeepers do, the XR package might not be worth it.
I absolutely love my 392. Very fun to drive. A ton of character. The "farts" when you get it on it in offroad+ are hilarious.
She is gassy alright 😂🤣😂
Placed my order for a 2023 392 on 7/1 and received a VIN today. I kept it simple with only the Xtreme Recon and tow package.
My gut tells me that 2023 will be the last model year for the 392. I’m hoping Jeep offers some cool Rubicon 20th anniversary options as we get closer to production.
Mine has been on order since April 15 and I’m still waiting for it. It just hit transit on July 7
@@wooloonation7426 Congrats! I decided to patient and wait for a 2023.
I’m for sure going to be broke, shit I’ll refinance my condo for sure lol, or just make a trade in for my 21 Rubicon with that color and Xtreme Recon package. Where do I sign lol.. congrats on the purchase. I still haven’t seen one driving around Chicago.
Congrats! Ordered mine January 4th2022 still waiting for delivery smh, hope you won’t have to wait as long as I am
@@russ3432 I ordered in January too, just took possession about a week ago
I believe the regular 392 is higher than the regular Rubicon.
Yes, it has the Mopar lift installed.
Correct 👍
It is shocking how garbage an interior of a $80k jeep looks like. If you get inside on any $60k MB, you feel like your money is well spent.
Jeep needs to make a 5.7 wrangler so bad. Not a lot of us want to pay 100k for a 392. 45k for a 5.7 wrangler would be so much more reasonable

I was seriously in the market for a wrangler until I saw the video on your personal 392 and how jeep would not cover any of the broken stuff under warranty within 600 miles. Trash manufacturer
The lack of pricing in many of your videos really hurts your credibility as reviewer IMO (going back to your video on the state of the industry).
It makes you seem beholden to the dealerships (them not wanting their price "premiums" broadcast out) and, subsequently, that your opinions/impressions are biased based on maintaining those dealer relationships, not independent, and more "measured"/less authentic.
Dealership online prices can change on a daily basis, so I don’t want to say a price in the video for a used vehicle and then that price no longer be accurate.
@@BenHardyCars
That's a really weak excuse as:
a. you DO put prices in some videos
b. if you are worried about it, all you have to say is, "this is the price at the time the video was shot, but keep in mind that prices are always subject to change"
@@Rawsavon since you’re such an expert make a video for us that’s better than his :)

For the life of me, I don't think I will ever understand this response when a critique is well intentioned and presented in good faith. I could not imagine responding in such a manner each time someone offered a valid criticism (be it work product, personal behavior, etc).
>why don't you do it then?
I would hope that people take all 'critiques' under advisement (who is the messenger, what is the intent, do they raise valid concerns) and then proceed accordingly wrt making changes or staying the course. Instead, at least in my experience, most people go into defensive shell mode and then seek out the echo chamber of validation.
"Is The "Regular" 392 Worth Buying?"
No...but then neither is the Bronco Raptor...just 2 vanity-vehicles mainly, with no practical use on or off road.

Nailed it
4 owners, goodness....some nice surprises are sure to abound on this one 🫠.
Oh wow
