Here's the NEW 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon Edition

[Sean L]

Who said anything about 65 grand?

$42,320 + $2,755 = 45,075

If y'all want to add another 20 grand in options that's on you.

It looks like nothing more than an appearance package on a 4cyl Rubicon. I'll keep my 09 by JLUR with all the same functional stuff and make it my own.

All other things noted- those wheels though. Yuk. Basically the old Rubi wheels. At least design something new if you are going to sell it as a new edition.

It's aesthetically the same (I believe) as the JK Recon. I personally love the wheels and have them in my JKU. I just can't do all that RED on the Rubicon Recon. That's the main reason why I didn't get it back in 2017

If that’s $2,755 over a base Rubicon, that’s a really good deal - assuming you want the 2.0. The engine, bumpers, LED group, MOAB rails, and tailgate reinforcement would come in much higher if you were optioning out a standard Rubicon.

Agreed. At least the original Recon came with a beefier front axle and diff covers you couldn't get on a regular Rubicon.

All it is is LED lights, Steel Bumpers with the hoop, different sliders, and the Jeep Recovery gear bag...the rest is stickers and color changes.
Bumpers are $1395
LED Lights $1045
Jeep trail bag is $195
A bumper hoop is about $150-200
Sliders are maybe worth $100 more, but are still body mount

Probably not a bad deal for all that packaged if you are buying new.

Correct. It had the "super" D44 from the J8.

Here's a discussion from another forum on the old Recon's reinforced front axle: https://www.wranglerforum.com/f274/rubicon-dana-44-vs-j8-dana-44-a-2331969.html

By comparison, this "Recon" is just a sticker edition.

not to mention it starts out with the 2.0 BSG, so you've got to add in that extra money as well. 2 grand for the auto.
