When the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 392 initially launched, Jeep fans across the globe rejoiced at the fact you could finally get a V8 from the factory. However, some of that steam was quickly deflated when it was revealed that it would not come with the two-wheel-drive option. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the tuning wizards at Z Automotive to figure out how to trick the MP3022 transfer case into going into 2WD.
On this Inside Line, we’ll show you just how this works along with a few other new features of the Tazer JL Mini.

I like the way you shot this video. The through the door shot and the drone brake turn in particular. Well done. The programming and use of that module gives me tech panic though.

@DK-bs6mu 2 года назад

Me to but after seeing all the vids and number users that are out there like Ali, I felt that it would be safe. Also, it helped when my Jeep dlr wanted 200 bucks to reprogram my Gladiator for my new 35's it became an easy decision. It is very easy to use, and you can just easily uninstall (un-pair) it if you need actual warranty service. I bought the light version, but it looks like you can upgrade to the full version by paying for a software update to unlock the full feature list later on if you want. I've been happy so far totally issue free...

@DrivingLine 2 года назад

Thank you! It's always tough shooting these videos solo. So I try my best to mix up the shots.

@faal1271 2 года назад

@@DK-bs6mu I dont understand why would the dealer charge 200 bucks for such a small detail. I was told that flashing involves reprogramming the gear module not just the speedometer. which I think is not true cause I have not felt any difference in response or transmission shifting whatsoever. but I had to do it since it could be a warrantee issue

@NoNamesAvailable81 2 года назад

I use the Tazer to have 2wd low in my MT Rubicon (tells Jeep if there is a FAD or not). Nice to have when moving a boat around to neighborhood launch ramp or cruising on slickrock with the manual.

@akramer 2 года назад

I'm surprised by this. I thought that the transfer case shifter engaged a manual lock for the front and rear driveshafts in 4H-part-time and 4L. Is that not the case? Is the same electronic clutch pack used when you shift into 4H-part-time, and the lever is now an electronic-selector-only?

@NoNamesAvailable81 2 года назад

@@akramer My transfer case is in 4wd sending power to the front wheels, but the FAD never connects the passenger side wheel to the differential. The power to the front just goes to spinning part of the passenger side front axle. If I engage my front locker, only my driver side wheel gets power.

@Joes-Adventures71 5 месяцев назад

I didn't get the extreme recon package because I figured Id replace everything I paid extra for. Now that I want 37 inch tires I kinda wish I had the gears however the 3 73 gears are perfect for the 35s that I've been running for 3 years.

@faal1271 2 года назад

Thanks for replying. Don't you feel that the 392 suspension is a bit too soft for the offroad . My rear wheels keep hopping as I accelerate . I was thinking I had a bad shocks but I m certain it's the soft springs actually when I compare it with the v6 jl lift kit.

@DrivingLine 2 года назад

It’s a little on the soft side for sure. My main complaint is that the suspension tops out off-road. Wish it had a little bit more travel. It rides really nice on road however.

@faal1271 2 года назад

@@DrivingLine wow that's Exactly my feeling too. I could do more with My v6 JL. I have it lifted 2" which is exactly same height as the 392 but I could tell there is more travel on the v6 than the 392 for some reason. or probably it is a just feeling because of the extra weight of the 392 front end tops out off road.( hood & engine )

Need help! I have an early wrangler Rubicon 392 picked up 6 15 2021. Now assuming yours is a 22, now is your SGW about the the aluminum support or below, mine is above with only about two inches of clearance around SGW andno way to get to wires to unplug Sgw, all videos I've found so far must be all v6's because plug-in is about 2 minutes. Your help would be appreciated greatly.

@MrMikek71 4 месяца назад

your video's are very helpful thank you for posting them. I have learned a lot. when using tazer and putting it in 2h and the 4 wheel drive light goes out. the light flashes after a few miles. does this hurt anything.

@DrivingLine 4 месяца назад

The light flashing is common. ZAutomotive says it doesn’t hurt anything and I haven’t experienced an issue with it. It’s just annoying.

@off-roadingexplained8417 2 года назад

It's not about the weight of the tire . You can have a 37 at the same weight as the 35 and it would still kill your power. The change in tire size changes the effective gear ratio.

@sulaimanmohammed1056 Год назад

Thanks for your video brother Mansour 👍🏻 does it affect the warranty? Even if unpaired will the dealer’s computer know about it? Another thing, my driver screen shows a 392 rubicon graphics when turned on which is weird yours doesn’t?

@DrivingLine Год назад

If you need to take it to the dealership, I would just unmarry the device. That should prevent any potential warranty issues. Mine doesn't show the 392 splash screen because it's a '21 model year. The '22 and '23 versions got that update.

@faal1271 2 года назад

last question Please . Will I be able to go from 4wd to 2wd and from 4wd to 2wd while I am in motion ( say off-roading ) , or do I need to Stop and do it at "Park" each time I need to change between them ?

@DrivingLine 2 года назад

You do not need to place it in park. Just make sure you are not hitting the accelerator and you can toggle between in drive.

@reiuribe 2 года назад

Great video…..a couple of comments (1) I drive now my 392 in 2WD after watching this video, agree with you no MPG improvement but every 5-10 minutes the 4WD Auto flashes for a couple of seconds, do you have the same issue? (2) I put 37s and although the 470 hp, the 4.56 gears and 8sp make a good job sometimes the Jeep is in D7 and revs up to 3-4k RPMs and doesn’t shift to D8. If you upgraded already to 37s please let me know your feedback on the shifting

@DrivingLine 2 года назад

I know exactly what you’re talking about with the 4WD auto flashing on the dash. Mine will do that if I swap to 2WD after I started driving it. So, if I am waiting at a light and I decide to click into 2WD, it will randomly flash from time to time. I found, if I let it default to 2WD where it remembers the setting previously or do it right out of the gate after star up, it doesn’t flash. I have not moved up to 37s yet.

El limitado de velocidad es por los neumáticos of road, el código de velocidad de ellos no es elevado y podrían reventar a alta velocidad, si pones unas llantas y neumaticos on road como los de la g waguen, puedes quitar el tope de velocidad y ver hasta donde llega, pero la limitación de jeep es para evitar problemas en carretera a alta velocidad de los neumáticos off road

Need help, I have an early wrangler Rubicon 392, delivered 6 15 21. When checking locations of SGW is yours above or below the aluminum support, mine is about giving about 2 inches around sgw making it totally impossible to unplug. All videos I've seen must be all v6's. With that being said and your sgw is above support , how long did it take you to plug in. Well appreciated thanks.

Hello again, Do I need to Marry the device to the JL if I just want to use the " live Menu " or "Non-Menu Live Functions" features ?? in other words can I plugin and directly use menu items such as 4wd/2wd , line lock and disable TC & ABS. etc ? and then plug-out at the time when i need to take the car to the dealer? so far I understood that marrying is involved only when I need to change vehicle settings. Thanks for your time 🙂

I’ve always married the device. I think you have to marry it for all of the features to work. If you’re going to take it to the dealer, all you’ll need to do is unmarry it from the vehicle.

@nycak4713 2 года назад

Awesome video!! Thanks for sharing. Based on your experience so far with the 35s and the stock lift on the 392 XR package, if you switched to 37s, do you think you’ll need to adjust the lift and/or wheel spacing to avoid rubbing?

@danielmiller4354 2 года назад

There is another video on here of a guy going to 37s even without the XR package. Without doing any adjustments it would rub while full right or left. It would also rub when fully articulated for the articulation I’m curious if the extra 1.5 inch from the XR package would help prevent rubbing. As for when it’s full left or right it barely contacted but would probably still need an offset or spacer.

@DrivingLine 2 года назад

Thank you! I think 37's will rub. How much will likely depend on the brand and the wheel's backspacing. I'm going to try it out. My gut is the front will be fine, but the plastic part inside the rear inner fender that hangs low will need to be removed.

@danielmiller4354 2 года назад

@@DrivingLine Not trying to assume your budget but if you had the opportunity to show different wheels with different offsets. Then show clearances you would be the first as I haven’t found any others that have. Most people have said if you drive mostly paved roads you would be fine. I rather see it shown to me not just take someone’s word on it lol. Think that would interest a lot of others who own or are looking at buying a 392.

Correct. All you need to do is map it to the steering wheel and you can easily swap from 2WD back to 4WD Auto. It will also remember the last setting you input. So, if you clicked 2WD and left it on, the next time you get in the Jeep, it will still be in 2WD.

Update, installed the front axle disconnect motor, put a small switch on driver's side towards bottom of center console, works great, driveshaft does NOT turn anymore, I've got 5" or more of lift on my 392 extreme recon, also noticed right off better gas mileage and the vehicle actually goes into 4 cylinder mode while driving, which is great, 8th gear 40" tires 1500 rpm at 80 mph.
