Damn, you have some really nice accent touches!
I had been mocking up an accent stripe just like you did from the door back...now I really like the idea! Mine will be red/black to match the Rubicon on the hood and the 20th Anniversary OEM Recon Flag on the fender vents.

Again, she looks sharp!!

Yes, they only made them for a few weeks...Hopefully they will return for MY '25!

How does the height with 35's compare to a stock Rubicon when it comes to getting in and out? When I first got my JL I noticed the difference right off the bat when compared to a stock JK Rubi.

Side by side, I love the look of the 35s compared to the stock Rubicon!

My wife was worried it was going to be too high and we planned on getting step/rock rails but it has been ok without.

How does it compare to the stock Rubicon? The pic makes it look like quite a height difference.

Yeah, it might be a bit of an optical illusion, but I like that pic. It just looks beefy compared to the stock Rubicon. My understanding is this model has a 1 or 1.5 inch lift and the difference in tire size.

With that said, I have sat in one but I haven't owned a stock Rubicon. I can say the the 2dr with 35" tires stock is a bit higher but totally manageable for me. I'm 5'9" 31" inseam. I don't need a step, I get in one cheek at a time. Not too bad. When I get out, I find myself dropping a couple inches to the ground off the seat. It's been perfect for us. A bit beefier looking but not too much.

Good to know, thanks for the feedback. I think ultimately I'll just need to find one on a lot and check it out for myself.

I really do like the beefy look of it. At first I didn't even pay attention to the option, and then I started seeing these pics and it really got the gears turning. Sweet looking Jeeps for sure.

How is the ride quality on bumpy dirt roads with embedded rocks? Not full-out, offroading, but just a worn-out dirt road.

I can't compare with a Rubicon with 33s because this is my first Wrangler. But I can say it's good and better than my 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40.

I finally went and jumped in one, it's not bad at all when compared to my current stock Rubicon. Slight bit of difference when getting out is the only thing I noted.
