If you let her borrow it for a week either you will have to buy her one or buy yourself one when she won’t give it back!
Hahaha so true. Yeah after thinking about that for a while I don’t think it’s a good idea.

This sounds like my similar situation. I tried to get my wife to buy a Jeep instead of her 3 row suv and she said it wasn’t practical. So a year later, I buy a 392. She takes if for a drive and tell me my truck is more fun than hers, and she wants one.
After hearing the 392, she said anything less will feel like she’s compromising. 😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
I’m just glad she loves it. We shall see what the next move is.
Get another 392 while you can allocations are running dry it seems

Then I’m thinking the 2.5” MC Game Changer.
My coworker has the 75th Jeep Wrangler and his is stock and yet they are so stiff vs my 2.5" mopar lift even though its 3 years old, Honestly for a SAS vehicle its amazing and tracks pretty damn good,

That’s hilarious. When she was looking for cars she actually showed me a G 63 that was $175,000 and also she showed me the 392 and I told her no way. She actually remembers and says “ you told me I couldn’t get a 392 and then you got one yourself.”
Wow, in that case, I’d say You’re lucky to be alive. She’s definitely a keeper! 👌

The only right thing to do is get her a 392. She asked for one before you ever thought of owning one.

🙈I’ve considered it, but can’t get my head around having two of the same vehicle. I might consider a 392 gladiator or a TRX addition, but I don’t think I can give up the 392 unlimited. I need a bigger garage. 😂

Something with a V8 there is no word on a 2022 392. Thats why I went for the 2021 and I havent looked back on that decision

I’ve talked with her and she’s happy with a quality lift and bigger tires. She said that she loves her jeep but wants it lifted properly. Just have to make a decision on a quality lift now.

These photos were from our trip up to Oregon and she thinks her jeep would not have got stuck in the ice if she had a lift. She doesn’t realize that it was really the weight of the camping gear and tires. But I’ll let her think the lift is the magic sauce so she’s happy.

Those are the Bridgestone Duelers that came with my Sahara. I got rid of them in week 1 for a set of 33-inch KO2s and never looked back.

Surprisingly they haven’t done too bad off-road but I think she’s ready for some proper tires.

You should get her a Rubicon XR. Has the lift she wants, better gearing, and bigger brakes, but still is completely stock if she has to get warranty work done on it. Making her life easier if your not around. My wife would have never let me forget it if she wanted a 393 and I said no, but than got one for myself.

IMO, the suspension included in the XR is a total letdown.
