What are your thoughts on the 2021 Rubicon 392?

[Jaxon B.]

Just yesterday I saw with my family the announcement of the new Rubi 392, and it absolutely blew us away. A V8!? In a Jeep?!?! Stock?!?!? Wanted to know what the other people on this forum's opinions were on it because if we had more money, we would snap that thing right up lol

I like that they are finally adding in v8 power to the Wrangler line again, i hate that it will only be initially added to the top tier, most expensive JL. I'm sure they will sell them out quickly, no matter what they charge. I do think it would be smart for Jeep to move a v8 into the JT line. That thing is huge and could use the power.

My thoughts - Competition and capitalism are good, thank you Ford for pushing Jeep.

My thoughts? Real Jeeps have 2-doors

Lol, I really do like the look of the 2-door JLs, look a lot better than the 4 door variant that my mom has, the main advantage to the 4 door is that trunk space and foot room at the back

i think you're going to see a lot of blown rear Dana 44 axles considering the power and the tires people are going to put on them.

Yep, I wish they would put that 392 in a 2-door. It’s a damn shame they won’t

A big thing for me is that this is the first time that half doors will be on a JL, and they look really good!

If I had tons of cash laying around I would pick one up. I would also then swap out the axles. @Chris, I totally agree that 2 doors are the best. However, with a family of 4 with 2 dogs, there are times that I'd like the 4 door. Since it's not my daily I don't mind so much.

Good grief now we're going to see an $80k Jeep!

Rumor has it it will be around that price, and maybe even more once you fully load it. The half door option alone is $4500!

I just hope the 392 is successful enough for them to put a 5.7 Hemi in the JLU. If Jeep offers a 5.7, I'll buy one.

Fixed.

Based on the fact most people lack a true understanding of modifications. I fall in that same category just FYI.

I’d say it’s a no brainer that adding bigger heavier tires will absolutly stress components and that stressor needs to be addressed. Not everyone seems to apply that, they might understand it, but their actions often say otherwise.

To be fair that’s around $1k for a half door, it’s upper, factory painted to match and has a factory interior panel. Which I think is fair.

I think it’s incredible. It just took FCA to take over and make the right moves that no one before them had the balls to do.

Say what you will, but the FCA folks took the Wrangler to the next level once they allowed the JK to run it’s 10 year course.

FIFY

Oh I am not arguing it’s fair, I am just shedding light on the fact that people no longer seem to have sticker shock

Are they not offering the V8 in a 2 door? with half doors???
