I used to love G Wagons back in the day before most people even knew what they were.... unfortunately, they have been so perverted and kardashianized that I wouldn't be caught dead in one now.
Pretty much this. They also drive like a pile of dog shit, older ones significantly worse than the modern day Wrangler, at least from my experience.

Yall stop. You're killing me here.
Im so close to making a very inappropriate size matters comment but ya know... the "mods" on here have so many issues with me as it is.
Oh heck.
Yes I want it bigger!
If anyone around here could get away with a little "Racy Innuendo" , it would be you.

I bet few people even know what it is if they seen one, just another Wrangler to most.

I couldn't afford one but still admire them. I have only seen one though. There may be more around here but with the number of wranglers probably wouldn't notice until close up since people build all kinds of beefy Wranglers. The hood scoop of course gives it away.

If I did buy one it would not be for impressing but for that impressive power. I will survive, I suppose, with my diesel if it ever gets built!
Yeah, there are so many Jeeps around here, people don't really care.

As you said, almost no one even know what a 392 is. Most people I know just say wow, that’s a loud Jeep you have hahaha. I think the person you’re replying to is sour.
When I've got my Challenger out at the gas station, I'll get people asking me if it "has a Hemi" despite the 392 badge on the side staring them in the face. I don't think they really know what a Hemi is, either.

That's kind of the unfortunate downside of a vehicle offering a bazillion powertrains; there's little distinction on the outside from the $30k version versus the $50-$80k version.

If the 392 model offered a Street Performance Option/Model, I’d be all in!

Jeep/Stellantis: Pls offer bigger/better brakes, reduce ride height to stock Sahara level, refine/offer performance suspension, offer better sport seats, offer on-Road performance tires/wheels pkg, and increase top speed to say - 130 mph, and it would sell like hot cakes.

I love the Jeep brand, love the lifestyle, so offer a hot Wrangler for those of us who want their Wrangler to be able to keep up with a MB AMG G63!

Cheers all/B

If they put the 392 in a Sport S with steel wheels and all the other stuff I would be all over it.

It could be like one of the old sleeper muscle cars.

At least to 60, it will keep up with XR pack. Only a tenth of a second separates the two.

Brakes are an entirely different story.

That’s what sells a lot of $30K versions!

The price and less options to get it in the 55-60K price range. I'll take a base Wrangler with the 392 please for 55K.

No, no, no. Took me a long time to talk myself out of ordering a 392, but I did. Not sure i could if they did this.

Dana 60s to accommodate the torque and HP. Quality suspension that accommodates 37s right off the line. That's about it.

All the rest I'd do is just window dressing, or not available until aftermarket anyway.
