Getting upgraded gears, beefier axle, better brakes, small lift, better tires, upgraded wheels, supported tailgate, for the $4k package cost is a steal!Aftermarket cost for that much extra would be double.
Thanks so much for the comparison. Just purchased a 2023 Wrangler Rubicon and I'm glad I did. The Extreme Recon , though awesome, gave me sticker shock when I saw that.
I've been hearing rumors for a while now that Jeep plans to offer the Extreme Recon package on other trim levels than the Rubicon. As of yesterday, however, the Extreme Recon package didn't show up on the Jeep webpage except on the Rubicon. What can you tell is about that?
So i measured from the bottom of the front differential cover on a High Tide (same setup) and a standard Rubicon. Ground clearance on the High Tide was 11 1/8" and the ground clearance on the Rubicon was 10 1/4" So 7/8 higher Ground Clearance with the Extreme Recon 35 Inch Tire and Wheel Group. Hope this helps!

Glad I could help
Defintely worth the extra money imo. Going aftermarket and getting the same set up would cost WAY more than what Jeep is offering with this package.
I agree!
Very informative, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks. Very thorough video! Trading my 2012 JKU for one of these next month
Glad it was helpful!
Informative thank you
Glad it was helpful!
What about suspension? Didn’t this come with FOX suspension 2 inch lift??
It also appears the XT Recon has an extended rear camera bezel?
Yes
What’s the ground clearance on both of them?
How much do these extreme recon wheels and tires weigh compared to the standard rebucon
Interesting you got 75” height. I count 77” on mine. What kind of lift is on there I wonder?
Is there a difference between the extreme recon tire package and a wrangler extreme recon or are they the same thing?
Xtreme recon has steel uprights/spindles while the non XR is aluminum
If a person could acquire this lift from the extreme recon, could it be put on a 2022 Sahara? Springs sway bar links shocks?
I believe so. It comes on a sport package.
@@Summitauto thank you

They do. Its called a High Tide Edition and it is on a Sport Platform! Video coming tomorrow!
Also it is now available as on option on the Willys.
@@Summitauto Thanks.
What is the difference in overall ground clearance?
So i measured from the bottom of the front differential cover on a High Tide (same setup) and a standard Rubicon.
Ground clearance on the High Tide was 11 1/8" and the ground clearance on the Rubicon was 10 1/4"
So 7/8 higher Ground Clearance with the Extreme Recon 35 Inch Tire and Wheel Group.
Hope this helps!
why is it cost more than $2000 to have 3.6 v6 instead of 2.0 turbo? So you have to pay more to get 3.6 v6 now?
Yo Brett, how does the Recon Rubicon ride in terms of roughness, etc? Is it pretty smooth? I have a 2015 Rubicon and it is quite bumpy on roads.
Hey Jon I haven't but will take one for a drive this weekend and let you know. Maybe take it a little too. May take a high tide as well
To me, it’s just as smooth as a regular Jeep. I have a 23 extreme recon and had a 21 JLU sport. More tire noise since they are bigger.
Hmm, the wheels are 10 bolt bead locks now. Looks weird. That's different from the 2022 XR wheels.
Can you get the xtreme recon package on the 2 door wrangler
No it is only available on the 4 door.
Likely they are thinking about vehicle stability/liability on the 2 door if it had the extreme package.
it is now available
Extreme recon has Iron knuckles, the standard Rubicon has Aluminum knuckles.
Anyone have a white Willys 4Door with the Extreme Recon 35 package? Locals dealers want 12k over Jeep's website builder. No thanks. (willing to fly)
We are at MSRP or lower on all our Jeeps.
