You're missing a few more items like gearing and beadlocks as example.I spent 2.2k on my 3.5 inch metalcloak game changer, 1900 for 5 Nitto trail grapplers 37x12.5xr17 for my JLR. WAY better components for the same money. Now if you never plan to go bigger than the package offers and want no warranty headaches from the dealer it’s def worth it

Way better is subjective.
You’re right,I forgot about those.You're missing a few more items like gearing and beadlocks as example.

^^^ This is the only logical remedy for this aweful name.Can we all agree to call this the Rubicon XR, and not mention what that stands for?
Completely understand what you’re saying.I think you misinterpreted his argument. He's not saying you can purchase those items that cheaply. He's saying that if you install the upgraded items instead of the normal OEM items right in the factory, the cost difference is small.
For example, instead of the 33s which cost I guess around $225 ish if you ordered 35s which cost around $275 ish, the difference is $50.
His point is if you're given credit for the standard items you aren't getting and you order the upgraded parts, the cost is around 2k-ish. Labor costs etc remains the same as it costs no more to install these upgraded items than it did for the standard items.
I imagine Jeep would say "no no, it's totally different. We have XTREEEME Recon, totally different than recon xtreme"I'm not sure these guys are going to be happy about Jeep stealing their aweful name... https://realtruck.com/p/recon-xtreme-tailgate-light-bar/
Why is one arbitrary price fair and another unfair. Other than me, was anyone here forced to buy a Jeep?I get that manufacturers don't price vehicles that way. The poster was just pointing out if things were done fairly that's how it SHOULD be.
My JLR with only options being automatic and color matched hardtop was under $39K out the door after discount.First of all- jeep does it this way because it makes them more money. Period.
But Rubicons don’t have to cost $45k, $55k or $65k. I got my Rubicon for just under $40k. If someone thinks they can afford a $35k jeep but not a $40k one, they probably shouldn’t be buying a jeep to begin with. (Note- I’m not saying everyone should buy a Rubicon, but you’re talking about a hypothetical person who wanted a Rubicon but could only “afford” a $35k sport)
Super expensive jeeps only exist because people don’t have the self control to not order half the options available. Do you really need heated seats, a body-colored hard top, a bunch of extra safety equipment, premium audio, remote start, and automatic cruise control? Reeeeally? If so, fine, but don’t get mad about $45k+ Rubicons.
Yes it includes the Mopar Tailgate reinforcement! Also apparently it include performance brakes so atleast they even upgraded brakes also to performance brakes which is another bonus for the price!!!I’ve seen in a couple of posts saying this package includes the Mopar Tailgate reinforcement. Is that correct?

$10k off, where???I ordered a ton of options as this will be more than a dedicated trail rig. However I do agree with you. if I wanted to build a trail only rig I would for sure buy the cheapest model possible since most parts would be replaced anyways. if you look at it that way, you can get a brand new Jeep significantly cheaper than the current average new car price. in that regard its a good deal. now fully loaded is another story, my 2020 was 54k msrp with most options. my 2021 is right under 64k. the main difference was the diesel engine. others were just options to make daily driving and long trips nicer. However, no one should pay msrp anyways. my 2020 ended up around 47k purchase price and my 2022 will be roughly 54k. still a lot of money, but that was due to all the options I selected.
Yes and no. They don't charge you full price for any of your tops because they rebate you the cost of the standard vinyl soft top. Just like swapping to the i4 from the v6 is a 0$ 'upgrade' (though they do charge you for the transmission)No he is completely wrong you cannot view it that way period that is my point. You can only view it as what it would cost you after already buying a Rubicon to buy all these parts and install them!! We all live in the real world it makes zero difference what Jeep pays for these parts. So the $3995 to have all these parts and have everything completely under Factory WARRANTY is a steal!!!
