Took me a while to figure out what you were even talking about. Would be a total non-issue for me if I had an XR. I'm not sure I'd even notice if I never saw this thread.

I want to be your friend.
Just saying, it's claiming the reason for some differences would be supply chain issues. What is being debated here is a design difference. I find it hard to believe that the design change was due to supply chain issues.... but I guess it's possible.let me go ahead and kill this thread right here…
Cowers in 10 bolt shameThose do look good, I don't think I would wave at a guy with just 10 bolt fake beadlocks, but 24 or 25 bolts and not only would I wave, I would follow them and place a stupid duck on their Jeep.
LEDNow all this got me thinking…. Stupid actually but here goes. For those that got the 12 bolt rings, do you have the LED headlight package? Curious if this is an attempt to cut costs on the rings by sticking them on Jeeps that are not “optioned” enough per Stellantis. Maybe there should be a poll created. Interesting thought?
Oh No-Opportunity Missed!!— Think upside down Jenny on stamp, miss stamped coins, vehicles with a very rare option. I can hear the guy at Barrett-Jackson now!!You may have answered this already? Did you talk to the dealer? My first and second 392 came with the wrong tailgate plaque. I did nothing about it on my 2021, but when my 2022 showed up and had the standard plaque, I mentioned it to my sales guy post purchase and a few weeks later the correct plaque and rivets were in the mail.
I haven't installed the plaque. Its sitting with the rest of the maybe someday parts I have accumulated over the years.Oh No-Opportunity Missed!!— Think upside down Jenny on stamp, miss stamped coins, vehicles with a very rare option. I can hear the guy at Barrett-Jackson now!!

I understand your frustration.I wasn't expecting to receive real beadlocks. (I've owned many in the past) I was expecting to receive the simulated beadlock beauty ring with 25 bolts.
What skid plate did you order and return? I have the Mc skids sitting in my garage unopened waiting for other parts1. I had wondered about that very matter. I just completed a prolonged return/refund process for a skid plate that simply could not be made to fit on my '21, despite almost equally prolonged consultation with the related videos, parts schematic and recurring PMs.
2. Configuring a 2023 JLU that is identical to my modest 2021 build brings with it a $4K(!) increase. I don't blame anyone who calls out any vehicle manufacturer for price fatigue, least of all Stellantis.
I 100% agree! Iv pretty much stopped tipping in most places that I don’t receive exceptional service. I also have an early 22 purchased in August 22 though. I don’t have the front passenger wheel brace in mine!I feel you, welcome to life these days! I'm sick of spending my money at places with worse service, worse product, and receiving less product. On top of that, everyone wants a freaking tip for everything. I'm about to stop tipping altogether.
Sounds like I lucked out getting an early '22 Jeep. I'm going to use that as a selling point when I at some point get rid of it.
