Anyone been able to confirm if this can be applied to orders or strictly dealership inventory?

$1000? No thanks. I’ll stick with my 2024 Rubi-x over the 2024 WT.

I was able to apply it to my Heritage order that I just received.

That's good to know, mine is sitting in railroad purgatory waiting to get picked up so I still haven't tried it.

is it called the rubi-x because it looks like a cube and confuses people
like why would you buy that when broncos exist
so puzzling

I checked the dealer where I purchased mine, and they are doing $1000 off of all their Broncos.

I liked the Alpine in my past JL. I am thinking about doing the SSV speakers in my Bronco. The stock, non B&O need a little bit of help.

I really liked my first JL, loved the V6 2 door JL Sport, hated the 4 door JL 4 Cyl Turbo. The 4 cyl was riddled with electrical issues and sold it and never went back to a Jeep.

I did the pods and went with Alpine speakers all the way around. Added a stinger, couple of amps, and now what was a base stereo puts the B&O in my F150 Raptor to shame.

At least until all of the typical Jeep ailments begin to manifest themselves en masse...

Maybe this is a Pandora's box and sometimes ignorance is bliss, but I'd be interested on your takes about what is better in the Jeep Wrangler.

Framed windows.

Framed windows.

The windows aren't a big deal for me. Maybe it's because I've had vehicles with frameless windows before (and still do, besides the Bronco), so I'm used to working with them. I think the auto-down-on-unlock feature will alleviate the issue for many people who have a problem with the frameless windows.

I drove Wranglers for almost 20 years and was really happy with them through the JKs. I pretty much concur with @CarbonSteel 's list. Very happy with my '23 Bronco. My added comments:

I do 80% of my driving on paved roads, often with my nieces on board, and the rest of the time I'm on sand, snow or fire roads. Solid front axle is great for dedicated, rock-climbing wheelers, but it's a risk I don't need. Conditional advantage, Wrangler.

I did like the full-frame windows on the Jeep. Advantage, Wrangler.

As a HAM, the all-aluminum body is more of a problem for me than expected (mostly for higher-band antennas), but I'm assuming the aluminum panels will be easier to replace/repair if needed. Still, advantage, Wrangler.

Everything else I give to the Bronco, even the overly-complex twin turbo engine. Wiring auxiliary lighting and other farcles is way easier with the aux switches. The wider stance is very reassuring. More passenger room. As for instrumentation, I find it better in the Bronco because oil/trans temps, volts and boost are all I monitor underway. And the offroad gauges stay up over 25mph in the Bronco (but that may be user error).

Not familiar with this but I’m interested in more info.

My issue has been with the drivers door window unseating from the seals in string crosswinds. It doesn’t re-seat itself and the noise is unbearable. I see some adjustments can be made to the window tensioner bolts. Haven’t had the chance to try this yet.

Apparently, for 2025 MY, when you unlock the Bronco, the windows will drop (the same way they do now when you pull the handle). Someone said this required a different physical part and therefore would not be easily retrofitted to older Broncos, but it would seem to me that this could have been all done in software.

I haven't experienced the issue you are describing. The dealer should be able to fix that as long as they don't give you the dreaded "unable to replicate" line.
