Not so "Xtreme" Recon Rubicon first delivery.

[NotGuilty]

Pics were acquired from jlwranglerforums.com

I ordered JL Xtreme Recon Aug 14th and have a build date of Sept 28th. Wish I would have waited on these photos. My Bronco order is still in limbo. 7/26 - 8/16 - 8/30 - 9/27 as of last week. 4Door BD 2.7 with MIC, Tow and mid package.

Wheels look awesome compared to the Bronco. Larger brakes taken from the JT.

Suspension looks very underwhelming. Looks like a stock JL Rubicon with maybe spacers and the worlds largest bump stops. I was hoping for at least some FOX 2.0s like the stock 392 Rubicon.

At least the knuckles are new and made of iron instead of aluminum.

Am I missing something here?!?!

Don’t look right. Also looks to be built for the mall crowd. Just like most turn into anyway. So well done.

I guess I haven't noticed- Do JLs use CV joints or U joints? I thought all Jeeps had exposed U joints

Not making a point, just posting pics. I still plan on keeping the Bronco build. Sucks I'm out $1000 though.

Well when I had a several build dates in the summer turn into "we'll let you know in October" I got sick of waiting. I've been ready to purchase a new car since Dec 2019. Waited for the Bronco reveal and decided to get it and well I don't think I need to tell you how amazing this launch has been.

how much for the jeep

$56,795. I kept it basic as hell. Stock bumpers, stereo, cloth seats but did get the painted top.

57k for basic , thats why I did not get a jeep , my basic base 2 door 2.7 with Sasquatch with some add ons is under 41k

Big difference between a Basesquatch and a Rubicon.

get a disconnect with a Rubicon but outside of that what more you get ,less power and torque that at less makes it really worth pay 17k more .

What I can't believe is how much they charge for that package when it only comes on the Rubicon that already has most of the needed components. It would be like charging full Sasquatch on a BL.

But I don't get those bump stops..am I seeing it wrong? Looks like you have 3" of travel?

I almost did the same as you, sans the Extreme. Figured I'd buy the Wrangler I'd want to keep in case the Bronco didn't pan out or turns out to be junk. But wasn't able to order the Rubi I wanted so I bought an older used one for now.

I will say, buying a brand new vehicle when you already had a VIN seems a bit crazy though. I bought when I was told I'm not seeing a MY2021.
