My main reason for not being serious about the 392 is $70,000. The 4-door is required as its longer wheelbase is more stable than the 2-door. A 470 HP JL 2-door would be way more than most people could handle.
I think $70k will be a bargain based on some dealers saying a $20k premium will be had on these things.
Uh no, the reason you don't see more painted fenders is because a large portion of us don't like the look. Same for the top. The back fenders bend and can be cheaply replaced when they get bad. You can only buff out light scratches.
Wow, I didn't realize there was so much hate for the painted fenders. I love mine and my rig is FAR from a street princess. I think the plain black plastic ones are chinsy looking, like a cheap aftermarket part. Yeah, mine have a fair amount of scratches but whatever, it's character
Its funny that I have more scratches on my doors and main body than on my fender flares...Wow, I didn't realize there was so much hate for the painted fenders.

The one guy that puts ATs on a G-Wagen...I’m not expecting to see accelerated front tire wear on the 392, even on 37’s. It has not been my experience on 3 previous AWD vehicles on All-terrain tires, all much heavier than the JL, some by more than 1000lbs.
AWD is the very reason Im getting a 21’ Rubicon. It’s a poor-weather safety feature I personally will not do without on a daily driver. No, I’m not a bad driver and I do know how to handle high horsepower, RWD vehicles; they’re just not my daily.
As always, I’m a sample of 1
Do you take the G Wagon off-road?? with those tires, it should be seeing some trails. There are many of those, in my area(Kingwood Tx), and they are strictly used by the "Soccer Moms". Those might see a few puddles trying to find a Starbucks.I’m not expecting to see accelerated front tire wear on the 392, even on 37’s.

Thanks! This one has a 1.5” lift on it as well. Haven’t had the chance to take this one off road but my previous one got some light off road time in East Texas and South Texas.
Just take into consideration that for every problem, there are thousands without a problem. The issues I have are minor.
I plan on tossing the fenders in the trash very quickly after delivery and the hard top will be off half the year anyway...
Who (talking about vehicle lovers) doesn't admire their vehicle when they walk up to it or walk away? I don't buy based on interior features, although that is a minor consideration. The exterior is the primary consideration for my purchase. Driving down the street, we are making a statement about our personal style. No one looks in the windows as you drive by to see the interior.
No offense to those that like those features. Happy that Jeep has set it up to your liking. But for others, we want to get it our way (Burger King?) After all, that's part of the Wrangler appeal, you can make it your own.. I hope, after the initial frenzy dies down, that we will be able to delete some of these "forced"options. I'm patient, and will wait. Otherwise I'll keep driving my 2014 JKUR V6. It's perfectlly acceptable and customized like no other (it's a Jeep thing) . If Jeep wants to get my money agian, let me build it my way.
