That's what they are neglecting but the 2-doors are quickly becoming the red-headed stepchildren.Anyone know if it will be available on the 2 door? That may push me to consider a traade in.

It’s unclear whether it also gets the 4.56 gearing.
I see you answered your own questionDoesn’t look like it’s getting axle upgrades.
Well crap… I just got my Willys a few months ago…It’s unclear whether it also gets the 4.56 gearing.

Earlier this year, Jeep announced the Wrangler would get 35-inch tire options. On Thursday, the iconic 4x4 brand revealed that it would be offering factory 35s for less money with the the 2022 Wrangler Willys Xtreme Recon package.The package is essentially identical to what is offered on the Rubicon equivalent, albeit without the benefit of the latter's standard off-road goodies. The package includes BF Goodrich KO2 All-Terrain Tires in LT315/70R17C and a factory 1.5-inch lift with new shocks tuned for the job.A cheaper Xtreme Recon offering helps Jeep fend off the 2021 Ford Bronco and its Sasquatch package, which offers similar goodies but is currently limited to automatic models and, like every Bronco variant, is virtually impossible to find in showrooms.The Willys Xtreme Recon will join the rest of the 2022 Wrangler lineup in showrooms later this fall. Exact pricing wasn't given, but a representative said it will start under $40,000 before destination charge.
this is actually much better. you probably get dana 44 front and rear and taller gears. adding a rear locker will cost you only $1500 and totally worth it.Would prefer the other way around. Bare bones with rear lockers - let me figure out the lift and tires.
Move over Rubicon!https://www.autoblog.com/2021/09/23/2022-jeep-wrangler-willys-xtreme-recon/

2 door Willys Sport starts at $31k and unlimiteds start at $34k. My 2 door with A/C, tow package and window bag was $33kWe should ask ourselves how they’re arriving at this price. The $40,930 price (including destination) will be for the stripper Willys Sport model, not the upgraded Willys.
The Willys Sport currently starts at $36,125, including destination. The XR adds $3,995, which would bring it to $40,120. Currently, an eTorque V6 with an automatic would add $3,250 to the price. That would be $43,370. So Jeep’s $40,930 must be for the not-yet-available manual.
Thus, the cheapest XR you’ll be able to order in October will cost $43,370 (barring pricing changes). And remember: that’s for the stipper Willys Sport.
XR is only available on the 4-door. As of today, the cheapest 4-door Willys Sport you can buy is $36,125 (including destination).2 door Willys Sport starts at $31k and unlimiteds start at $34k. My 2 door with A/C, tow package and window bag was $33k
