I ordered the rock rails too - knowing they were on the small side (and not really a step)...I have young kids and thought maybe that would be enough of an edge for a smaller size foot to use as a step - what do you think after seeing in person?
Here are a few pics. It’s small, but it’s something if you need it, and it’s not too obtrusive. Plus, I think it probably provides some extra protection from gravel that gets kicked up. I don’t regret getting them even if the step is small.

First time poster here. For all those agonizing over the wait know that eventfully it will arrive. Ordered on 6/28. Brought home on 9/27. In the words of my salesman when he first saw it, "This thing is Bad Ass". I agree. Well worth the wait.

. . . realizing each day–
Under 65 it sits in 8th fine. When I jumped on the 75 mph highway it was hunting. I was only on for a couple miles; hard to tell how it’ll behave in the long term. I’m happy with it. If they had offered 4.88s at the time I would have gotten them, but the 4.56 seem acceptable
Here in the Hill Country all our freeways are 75 or 80—

I know their system for choosing what to build is very random, but I also got a stripped down JLUR, only getting the XR package and proximity key options. So that may have something to do with it as well. Who knows?!?

Has anybody put in a lift kit? And skid plates? If so, please share pics and your thoughts on it in terms of the drive, the new suspension, etc.

I’m hoping to get the XR package and put a 3.5” AEV lift kit or 3.5” Metal Cloak lift kit.

Plus has anybody put in 37” tires? On one hand I love that the XR comes with the bead lock ready rims and 35” but imma thinking maybe I can upgrade to 37” on those same rims in about 3 to 5 years when the 35” are worn out.

Thanks in advance.

Yes and yes. Its in my build thread. Haven’t done any skids yet though

Short answer: Drives great. Gearing isn’t perfect but acceptable. The metalcloak stuff is very nice. 37s are beautiful

I got movement! I placed my order about 34 days ago and today I got a new message from Jeep chat: "Thank you, I can see all the required materials for your order have been gathered and the plant has sequenced your order for production, it should be entering the build very soon!" I'm pretty excited. This is for a 392 XR.

Dealer emailed and said my XR shipped Friday. He stated:
"It's still giving me the ETA window of between 10/4 and 10/18. The last event location was in Toledo at 10/1 at 7:50 PM with an event description of "ingate/rebay at facility."

Anyone have any info on that event/status? Thanks!
