It’s more like when your parents told you when you were a kid “you can go one more year in those jeans”..:Like wearing skinny jeans LOL!
Here's a few shots of what our 392 looks like lifted and with stock 33" tires.
And so it Begins... the 392
- Thread starter wayoflife
- Start date
So, after much debate, Cindy and I decided to keep the factory 392 wheels for possible future use and get an aftermarket wheel for now... maybe indefinitely. And, as much as we like the look of the Dirty Life wheels, it was hard not for us to buy what we've always known to work and work well - a set of KMC. Specifically, Grenade Crawl beadlocks like what we have on our Gladiator.
To me, these really are a great looking wheel, maybe one of the best KMC has made and I think they'll look great on a white 392. Here's a shot of what they look like mounted up on a 38" Nitto Ridge Grappler.

We are creatures of habit! Such a great looking combo, can't go wrong! I really contemplated on those wheels!

Love those wheels too. I was torn between those and the Machetes when I bought. I ultimately went with the Machetes because of the stamp “off-road use only” on the Grenade ring. I figured that living in Commiefornia, I would most certainly be harassed by the LE folks.So, after much debate, Cindy and I decided to keep the factory 392 wheels for possible future use and get an aftermarket wheel for now... maybe indefinitely.

So, the cat is finally out of the bag. We were getting worried you guys might have decided to sell that bad boy and move on to something else. Phew! We're hangin' in and hangin' on to see where this goes.

I don’t think you’ll regret your decision if i didn’t give away my set of dirty life beadlocks to my neighbor last year you could have taken mine. But they are HEAVY when compared to my KMC grenade crawl. The dirty life was 45 pounds without the bead lock rings and hardware installed. And the KMC is around 35 lbs total.So, after much debate, Cindy and I decided to keep the factory 392 wheels for possible future use and get an aftermarket wheel for now... maybe indefinitely.

Can't go wrong with that color combo. I myself want that same scheme eventually - black with a machined ring. Just looks too clean on a white rig. Can't wait to see the 392 with its new shoes!
When I said that Cindy and I would never modify our 392 and were happy to keep it stock forever, I meant it. However, now that we have it sitting on about 4" of lift thanks to a Rancho Crawler Suspension system and riding on a set of 38" Nitto Ridge Grapplers mounted on KMC Grenade Crawl beadlock wheels, I'm kind of kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I mean, holy hell, this is how it should have come from the factory or at least, in my opinion.

I think we are all glad you ended up giving in 
Curious toyour feedback on how the 38’s feel with the 3.73’s even with the 392.

I think the 392 was even bumped down (or up rather) to 3.73s!Sooooo much goodness
your feedback on how the 38’s feel with the 4.10’s even with the 392.

You are correct, looks like they come with 3.73’s. I was totally thinking they came with 4.10’sI think the 392 was even bumped down (or up rather) to 3.73s!
