For those Rubicon owners who want a higher top speed, this package also increases speed limiter to 110 mph.

Yeah I figured it was as the Rubi hood is as well but you can always make them functional I suppose. Good catch I didn’t even remember the Mojave had the same hood, ha!
S&B makes a functional hood-scoop conversion for their cold air intake kit.S&B Hood-scoop

I would have liked this package on my 2020 JLUR, would have been pretty much perfect for my needs.

But, as others have mentioned, I think Jeep could have named it better. IMHO Jeep should have stuck with the "trail" themed names. We have the Rubicon & they had the Moab. They should have named this the "Black Bear" package. The sign at the entrance to Black Bear Pass states "high clearance" vehicles. To me this would have been better than what Jeep went with. Or at least another trail that requires "high clearance".

Oh well, I do think it is a nice package that will definitely sell.

Something I did see in the Chicago auto show Jeep YouTube coverage is that “more 35” tire info to come later this year”. So hope they will allow the 2.0 & 3.0 to get them. Maybe open something up to other trims??

The BFG 315/70R17 C is on national backorder. Is this going to help or hurt? Michelin is way behind in tire production.

This package is effectively identical to my Jeep on the dynatrac 2” lift but with a completely unnecessary regearing.

Rubicon Extreme Recon Axles - Apparently the XR comes with the same rear axle as the "standard" Rubicon. But the front axle is a "heavy duty" version of the front axle that comes on the "standard" Rubicon? Possible the same front axle that comes on the Gladiator? I've also read posts referring to "wide track" axles? I'm totally confused by what the difference is between the standard front axle and the HD front axle and also what "wide track" means vs the standard axles. These all seem to be some version of the D44? Thanks for any help.
All Rubicon axles are D44 wide.

........................ I strongly recommend the Maximus-3 Tow loops and winch base plate. The Maximus combination is slick, stout, provides recovery points, and looks way better when the Jeep isn’t being towed (I think). (Although you should assume the paint will start to fail after less than 10,000 miles of towing.)
I never heard of Maximus-3. But I went to their web page and checked them out. From what I saw, I like them. I'm going to do some research on them. I have lots of time. Hopefully I can see some in person. Thanks again for the info.

Can someone elaborate on the upgraded brakes that are included in this package? Specifically how they are different from a stock rubicon? I assume size, but are the calipers different?

JTs get upgraded rear brakes from the Ram 1500. The rotors are 13.9". My understanding is that they are included in the Rubicon XR package.

I don't know if they have different calipers.

It looks like they get the same brakes that are standard on the 392, so perhaps looking at the 392 specs could shed some light

apparently theres a major rubber shortage so all tire manufacturers will likely be affected. Hopefully prices dont increase but everything else is so…

that is probably a result of the larger diamter tires. The larger the diameter the higher the top speed and slower bottom end. Thats why they put 22s on the Ram SRT10
