Not sure if anyone noticed this but the picture looks like there are fender flare extensions on the front and rear fenders...like rock deflectors.

Yeah they had to add those since some states don't let you have tires outside of the fenders.Not sure if anyone noticed this but the picture looks like there are fender flare extensions on the front and rear fenders...like rock deflectors.
Jeep will make a bunch of money from those who would be satisfied with such a package. You are absolutely correct…But you have to subtract from that what Jeep pays for the "original" parts on a normal Rubicon. They are charging aftermarket prices on top of equipment they are not giving you now. It's not 1:1
I wouldn't mine those on my Rubi now with my Cooper Stt Pros.Yeah they had to add those since some states don't let you have tires outside of the fenders.
I see the point you’re trying to make but it’s the same as if you purchased a Rubicon and bought aftermarket suspension, had a regear, wheels, tires. Its much cheaper in this PKG. It’s not meant to be a 1:1.But you have to subtract from that what Jeep pays for the "original" parts on a normal Rubicon.

Yeah I didn’t even catch that. That’s even better at that price point. Good catch!On the V6, I believe you are also getting the following:
The first 2 are standard on the 392, and the suspension may also be unchanged on the 392 (uncertain currently) - so seems like a good deal for the V6, but not as much on the 392
- Dana M210 Wide HD Tube Front Axle (DJV)
- Anti-Lock 4-Wheel Disc Perf Brakes (BR4)
- MOPAR Hinge-Gate Reinforcement (XDB) + rear tire locator
I take it you've never bought upgrades to a custom home? Builders don't charge you their marginal price difference. They do exactly what Jeep is doing here.But you have to subtract from that what Jeep pays for the "original" parts on a normal Rubicon.

Warrantied and supported too! #pricelessAt that price point, it seems like a great bargain from the factory!
Whats the warranty and support worth?I mean I'm glad they're offering it but for the price, nah. Overpriced if you ask me. The cost differential between what is currently installed versus these "different" parts does not equate to $4k IMO.
Exactly - a warranty on a set of springs, tailgate apparatus, wheels, and pinion gear?Whats the warranty and support worth?
I mean I do a 4 week cross country trip every year. I bought a 2021 JLUR.Exactly - a warranty on a set of springs, tailgate apparatus, wheels, and pinion gear?
Regearing your axles is $2,000. Good luck getting 35's, lift, shocks + install, beadlock wheels, and an upgraded swing gate for the other $2k. Even if you bought a rubicon and put equivalent parts on aftermarket and sold the take offs, you would still be way over $4k. I understand the argument you're trying to make, but it's flat wrong. On top of all that, it's factory. It's covered by warranty and they can't push you around when other stuff breaks and they try to blame your custom gears or oversized tires.I mean I'm glad they're offering it but for the price, nah.
