I do, since I now have no plans of modding this jeep…except maybe bumpers and a winch…and 37’s

That’s good to know, it makes a hard pill to swallow even harder but there seems like there is still a lot of value there, even with some mild mods

Anyone know order wait time for a 392 these days? Will have to call around.

About 4-5 months sounds right.

as far as I’m aware, XR is no longer available for order. Several of the colors do actually available do not match online configurator either.

I think the XR came back for 2023 model. Definitely went away though. ButI could be wrong, That’s interesting about the colors, my plan is to go black with whatever I get

Yea buuut. Meh. It’ll still be 10 or more years old and only worth about 30 grand after dumping all that into it.

You could build a JK on 60's & 40's with a V8 Swap cheaper than that.

I considered this for a minute, but even with a cheap ass 2007 JK is still more money, arguably more performance, but definitely not as nice and would leave me wanting newer I think. Idk, but Dan is right, the value would be way lower in the back end.

But 93k... then taxes....interest.... a lift... wheels... tires... skids, sliders, carrier, steering upgrades.. etc... You know the routine. You'll be into it 140k+ before you know it.

A little late to the discussion but I vote for option 1. 392 seems pretty awesome all around. Shoot I think Jeep made a mistake of not offering it on the JT. I’d sell my current JT for a JT 392 in a heartbeat and probably not mod it besides tires.

One thing that keeps clouding my mind is I could pick up a rubicon gasser and do my build for around the same price as a stock 392. but downside is then you still have a 3.6, which is probably enough, and up upgrade later will be certainly more for the road. 🤷‍♂️

I bet if you found a way to test drive one there wouldn’t be much of a decision to make.

Don't get me wrong, I think the 392 is Bad Ass (and support you 100% if you can afford it) .... BUT...... I think you'll create just as many awesome memories with your family in a 3.6 on 38's.
