The sky one-touch has actually been an option for a few years now - I have it on my '21 JLU Rubicon (3.6L), and haven't had any issues with leaking in the 2.5 years I've had it now. Overall I love the flexibility - I leave it down until the first drops of rain start to hit me on the highway!

Nice review. You don’t sound like you’re a fan of the 2024. I own one and I love it. I think all the changes, including the removal of the physical antennae were brilliant. The red seats are super cool and in line with many high end manufacturer’s special editions. And, now that Jeep has made official notice do a “Final Edition” for 24, the 24s are going to be hard to come by, expensive, and instant classics. Just my humble opinion. Great job Jeep!!!

Nice. I'm sure someone has probably mentioned it, but the exhaust baffles will still open when you floor the throttle with performance exhaust off, as well as when you first start it up.

The shift paddles on the steering wheel also control the hill descent feature that thus comes with. Which is awesome.

With all the changes, refinement and safety added all around, 2024 Wrangler 392will be remembered as the best and ultimate Jeep Wrangler ever built. Better tech, feels and looks way more sporty-rugged-luxury at the same time, better and stronger axle, better wheels, they look much sharper and brighter, Etc... The Seats are drop dead gorgeous with full red, they make the Wrangler stand out and live up to that "There's Only One" instead of plain boring cheap looking black. Of course that's not everyone's taste. The guages have more of a three dimensional look than the 2023 generic look of it. The dash look more proportioned and well design, especially with the 12.3 screen and the material all around the dash looks more refined and a bit luxury. The 2024 makes the 392 Wranglers look more upscale, expensive and superb. This is why I traded my 2023 to 2024 regardless how others feel about personal taste. It's just better in many ways.

Beadlocks are overrated (and not highway legal in Arizona) and unless your going extreme rock crawling or sand duning - unnecessary in my opinion. Plus with bead locks you need onboard compressor to re air up.

Nice video! Thank you very much for spending more time discussing the technical changes of the 2024 model Wranglers, especially the 392 Wrangler Rubicon. I've got to admit that if I didn't live on the small Hawaiian Island of Molokai, where the maximum speed limit is 45 MPH, I'd personally want a 392 Gladiator Rubicon. That's the only Jeep Wrangler I'd currently think of using as a replacement for my 2012 JK Rubicon unlimited. I'm subscribing to your KZread channel. I like technical talk more than "styling" or various other "upgrades" so many folks do to their Jeeps. Keep up the great work and please don't freeze to death this winter!

Great upload, do you know if Jeep fixed the defrost in heavy snow and cold? I have a 2020 gladiator and in those conditions the defrost does not keep windshield defrosted on corners.

Great review . Pay attention Jeep . This man knows what he is speaking about .

Had a Sky-One Touch top on my last JLUR. It was super convenient for opening and closing easily on nice days. It never leaked. It was noisy on the highway. If you want to run a rack, you have to get creative like I did with higher sides to clear the pleats when opening or closing the top. I personally just like the regular hard top better.

For the most part, this is almost identical to my Rubicon X 4xe (well, except for the 392 part, heh). I absolutely love it. People always are super impressed when they climb in. The 3.5" lift and 37" tires probably help with that. But I love the grill, I love the seats, and I love the new screen. Definitely a lot different from my 76 CJ-5. :)

It’s not. Not even close.

I got my 2023 wrangler 392 brand new special built and I got it cheaper than one would expect it to be so I would have been stupid to pass it up. I wanted the one touch top but I was nervous and skeptical about leaks because the jeep liberty had this top and they were really bad and some stopped working and Jeep wouldn’t warranty them and it’s all because of the company they used to make them and now Jeep makes there own so I heard. But I love my jeeps and the 392 is one of those jeeps that I will own forever.

When you close the exhaust and gun it, it will auto open the exhaust. Also when you first start it, it is in the open position, then closes if you had it in the closed position. At least that’s what my 2021 does. Also mine squeaks when you first start it, which I think is the catalytic converter warming up.

love it! I want the gladiator version.

392 is an absolute honor to own. On road, off road, even makes the wife smile. First jeep and the community has been amazing contrary to what I heard. I used to wheel a frontier and nobody ever said nothing. Now, almost every time we hit the trail we meet someone. We even found a few other RC Crawler fans. Fvcking blast! World might be fkd, but we're living in the best times ever for automotive enthusiasts.

Thanks for the review. I debated prior to buying my Gladiator Mojave whether I should get the 2023 or 2024. I pulled the trigger on the 2023 due to the huge discounts. I like the larger screen but agree they should have gone wide angle to take advantage of additional space. I don't like the antennae in the windshield; not sure what they were thinking and don't like the plastic on the side of the power seats. Most of all, I can't stand that red color for the leather seating. I love the fact that you can get a 392 in a Wrangler, just wish they would make it available in the Gladiator. That would have made a difference for me. Love the sound and would certainly enjoy the power. If you're buying a Jeep, gas mileage is not your main concern. Great video and greatly appreciate your channel.

same here. that and the added cost of the required premium fuel, keeps me from making the move right now.

That rear camera is the best camera I've ever seen on a vehicle.

Hate the seat color, I can do without the electronic seat controls as well. I like the bigger screen but the dash overall feels cheap and not solid compared to previous years. I don't mind the grill, and FYI the grills are interchangable between 23 and older and the 24. Overall I'm glad I went with the 23 392.

Love it. Can’t wait to replace my 2020.

Nice jeep. I know the Lucky owner. But maybe the only new jeep with bronze. But my 16 wrangler 75th year anniversary has all bronze accents. I like it it’s really cool

Well dang. Now ya know.

The solid tops plastic behind the head doesn't run like that from the 24s I have seen for head room. The tops on each side are removable so nothings there. Redline makes a gas strut system for the hood! For the no antenna, be a good spot for a ham radio or CB antenna shorty. But the bright side is nothing to catch and rip off in a car wash, less drag and wind noise. All my T tops have leaked after the 1s time removal. Then I took them out, cleaned the seals and siliconed them with the silicone spray and never a leak again. I guess on the red seats you could always get some black seat covers if it bugged a person. If the bolster bugs you getting in and out, get some auto drop steps. Then step up and over. For the cam not being wide enough for the back shot. Wonder how hard it would be to have a small back up cam shoot down from the roof top if u keep it on and don't remove it. Like campers have or trailers. Then have a small over head monitor inside. Get the big view. Or from the inside of the back lift gate glass above the tire. Maybe theres a cam change out option with a wider view that can be found somewhere. Screen glare, tint the windows is an option.

Well done vid!

I'm 6' foot tall and my seat is all way back in my 2dr JL. It's shocking to me they designed that bar that way possibly causing concussion on hard impact frontal or rear collisions. I don't know who thought that bar design was a good idea, but I think it's a lawsuit magnet waiting to happen.

So really that grill wasn't introduced on the 2024. It was used on the 2023 (20th Rubicon Anniversary Edition), although I will completely concur it was in an extremely limited quantity. I got tons of questions about the grill of my 392 because it was completely different, and wasn't on the adjacent year Jeeps. But honestly, Love my 392, its legitimately the vehicle of my dream, and I'm fairly confident I will never part with it. As for the gas struts on the hood, Redline Tuning makes a set that was a very easy install. One small bracket cut and I took the hood prop off for good.

To be fair I understand the antenna in the windshield because it's the norm on nicer new vehicles. But it's usually the back window. I guess they decided more keep owners would complain if it was the back windshield

No floor cup holders in the back is a deal breaker for me😂 I’m also not in the market for a 24 so will on my 20 JT till the engine falls out

I’m getting 17mpg on my 4xe, I would much rather have that v8 . Also the speaker bar sucks, I cannot believe they would put it that far out. Do they think wrangler drivers are like 5’5? I may not be able to buy a newer one do to that, unless there will be a conversion kit. Love your videos!

Buenos día.

Mister Burns flys and leads the way but would elegantly love to even witness a 392 with a good pilot get down to work that rhythm I can imagine is remarkably empowering and impressive and all those features being used would be like a composer orchestrating (insert word here _______ ) . Mike drop

My understanding is that all 2024 and newer Jeeps will have that Adaptive Cruise control box standard. After driving my 2021 for a few years with that box, I have to say I really hate it.
