Look what Jeep snuck in on the High Altitude Wrangler

[Punjabi New Yorker]

Interesting.. I thought you were talking about the gray plastic piece on the bumper but yeah.. appears to be some ' bourgeoisie ' tire tray LOL.

It's going to be hilarious when the first member profile pops up as the owner of one of these...

I think the High Altitude package will look good in Sarge Green

Hmmm.. I think you might be right. It likely originates from the 'blackout' (all black) vehicles that people were going nuts over the past 10 years or so. A darker color might be nice.

M220 Rear Axle according to the build sheet:

I only did a quick read, but didn't see anything odd or unique about rear brakes.

I don’t know, I’m probably biased but I really like mine in the ocean blue. Looks better than the all white one in my opinion.

I agree, Ocean Blue looks the best.

Looks like something a High School Girl would be driving.

So what gives that away? What is their Dana designation? M230 or something like that?

I ask because the Gladiator has an entirely different rear suspension, so it would make no economic sense to adapt them to a Wrangler that was not in some other way modified for heavier duty, when they simply could have used M210 and M220 housings. Just curious.

Adding larger brakes in the rear while leaving the fronts standard also makes no sense, unless there is some other objective of which we're unaware.

I agree. My JK would chew through the front brakes and the rears would still be at 90%. I think the JL are twin piston calipers where the JK was single? maybe that makes a difference?

Just caught this... is that a drip tray under the spare?

Yes indeed, it is. And to answer your disappointed emoji, it is in fact available in white. I'm trading in my Rubi for one and my salesman confirmed it.

So far there has been no documented proof?

This is the gearing used by the diesel right?

It's always just frustrating.

When we spend the money we do, in my case a 2020 JLUR, and then months later there's something bigger and better.

And it's not about biggest and best, it's bang for buck.

Doh well, still love my Kailani.

Thanks man!
Now if I ever see this jeep I will have Peter North's **** in my head.

You know we will judge your jeep but not your lifestyle so its ok...

This thread is hilarious. A non-sense jeep and a bunch of rubicon owners butthurt because theres something out there that has something "beefier" than the rubi. "NO CANT BE they told me rubicon has the best!, give me back my status! I have the rubicon sticker!. Is there a new iphone?????" Heck some even have "4.10" and "lockers" stamped all over their hood! I think I am gonna get a hood decal that says "SFA" all over when the Bronco comes out.

meanwhile sport owners:

Butt no hurt - eyes hurt.

I've thought the lamest Wrangler feature was the fake hood vents on Rubicons. This is now my #1

I like my vents. They look good when you are driving. Do they have any function? Not really. But I still like them.
