A Tremors j truck showed up in a commercial. Kevin Bacon and Micheal Gross were selling something using the pop culture reference “6 degrees of Kevin Bacon” (based on the concept of 6 Degrees of Separation):

I just went though all the post and search. Cant believe This is Us wasn'tmentioned. Not only is it prominent in the first two seasons but S2E15 is literally all about a Wagoneer and how it tells the story of the family

That’s good to know- the only TV show I can recall that had a prominent Wag was Breaking Bad.

I’m sure there are other shows that have a wag or j truck featured prominently, though.

I have to admit, I’ve never seen “This is Us.” I might have to check it out!

Early 80s 2 dr NT Cherokee, white, in the movie "Wander" with Tommy Lee Jones. The Cherokee is in many scenes, but usually in the background. One scene, maybe halfway through, has this private investigator watching it up close through binoculars. He even names it by saying "white Cherokee."

In the Hawkeye series on Disney plus, the scene where Ronin confronts Echo in the car lot, there's one in the background.

Don't have the pic, but saw the blue hood & grill of what looks like a 70ish Wagoneer/Cherokee/J Truck on the show "Emergency" the other day.

They were on a canyon rescue and pulled the Paramedic Dodge up just forward facing the Jeep in the scene.

Adding to this list. Amazon original movie called "Dont make me go". Nice looking navy blue Grand Waggy featured throughout the entire movie.

Rated R for content and honestly a real tear jerker of a movie, especially as a dad of girls.

Roadkill Season 8, Episode 9 about ten minutes in.. They trade a crappy Maverick for a J100 with no bed, drive it a few hundred miles and trade it for something else.

Here's a thread over on IFJSA on this--one of the threads over there that gets updated fairly frequently.

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.
