4.88 may be a little to much for 38s bubba normally would recommend 4.88 for 40s and 4.56 for 38s but then again the off the line feel won’t be the same. But one thing to consider I believe with 4.56 you have two teeth of the ring in pinion engaged vs one tooth when you go with a 4.88/5.13
Well for sure, Disciple is someone I trust to do it but I do have a shop a lot closer buy who I trust as well.
Yeah, I'm gonna try and see if there's anything I can do with what I have now to reinforce things. But, if I have to, there's always the EVO or Rusty's tire carrier.
Yeah, I kinda knew thing would go this way. I was just hopeful it wouldn't be. For now, I can just turn the TPMS off. Hell, I lived most of my driving life without it, I'm sure I can manage without it now LOL
Yeah, you could be right on this. Makes sense anyway. Fortunately, I was able to turn it off with my Tazer and all is good now
LOL - I know I'm new to this Jeeping thing and couldn't name drop a social media influencer if my life depended on it but really, that is some of the stupidest shit I have ever heard anyone recommend. Back when it was available, the 392 with the XR package came with 4.56 gears and that was with 35" tires. If anything. 4.88 is on the low side for 38's and from my limited personal experience, I can tell you that 5.13 is barely enough for 40's. Well, at least for anyone who actually wheels their Jeep. And, not to sound full of myself but really, anyone who can afford to buy a 392 can certainly afford to buy a replacement or upgrade axle IF they were to break the factory one. If not, they really shouldn't be thinking about regearing or modding at all. But again, what would I know
I was just texting disciple haha.
I wasn’t trying to offend if I did. But I see your point.Yeah, you could be right on this. Makes sense anyway. Fortunately, I was able to turn it off with my Tazer and all is good now

LOL - glad to hear it
Hopefully you can make it work, to not to spend more money if nothing else
LOL - I think maybe that should be my line. And, I hope you know that my comments weren't directed toward you but rather, toward the really bad recommendation you heard. I can only go off of personal experience and again, based on the limited amount I have running and wheeling a whole host of gear ratios and setups on all kinds of Jeeps with different motors, that shit was just stupid... to me anyway.
Thanks and for that exactly
Good call. I like the KMC over all the others. I love my Machetes and will never get tired of them. Never saw much difference between the two. (Crawl and Machete) I like the fancy rings but not the mounting hardware. Lookin Good.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.
And during this whole time you can not use the SOS capabilities! You must feel very nervous about that.Oh for the love of god... are you serious???
We already have 4.88’s here ready to go on another 392 getting 38” Trail Grapplers so glad we went with the 4.88’s though 5.13’s could be fun LOL
Amazing.... Hardtop is going to be some of that but wouldn't have though Moby would be shorter on 40s
