love this thing!! only took it to a few easy trails (gravel roads) and private property with rocks and elevation to test out the 4 wheel drive components. It's amazing and very capable!

This is almost what I'm getting but its a Rubicon with 3.6 eTorque and no Mopar sliders
Ive tried the 3.6 e-Torque, 2.0, and 3.6 non-eTorque. They're all great choices, but I like the low end torque with the 2.0 and the 4.56.

I didn't want the whole electrical system that comes with the eTorque and the additional battery system.

If anyone is interested, I have my XR rock sliders for sale. Asking $75 for the pair. They are new take offs with no scratches. Pickup in Mesa, AZ. I put in Amp XL power steps.

These are just your standard Rubi/Willy's sliders, but XR sliders sound cool. Maybe you will have better luck getting any $ for them. Probably best to post this with the Sport crowd or better yet, in the marketplace section.

Ordered mine on the 22 of December. XR Rubicon in punkin metalic. After last 4 Gladiators I was ready to get back into a Wrangler.
I had no idea they brought that color back with a metallic twist. I don't know of too many other vehicles you can buy with extreme color choices. Congrats on the XR Rubi order.

Was told they brought the color back in October through December for 2023 orders. Only thing I might regret was getting the 2.0 turbo.

Question for anyone who has removed their XR fender flare extensions:

I don't like the look of my fender flares having fender flares. Yes I know most people are looking to add these flare extensions, but I'm in the wild west where fender laws don't exist, and it's not like they keep dirt and rocks off my door anyway. For those who have removed them, I know you just take out the existing plastic rivets, but do you have a link to NEW rivets that you used to fill the holes? TIA!

I'm pretty sure they're generic rivets.

If anyone can confirm? You also need the tool.

I've never done plastic rivets before, will my normal rivet gun work for those as well?
Not too sure. You can try. They're not that expensive anyway. I blew through rivets on one of my Jeeps. Doesn't hurt to keep some and the tool as a kit. lol
