First one I’ve seen! (Not mine)

Thanks for posting the pic, is it just me or does it seem rather low? Looks like it might need another 2 inches. Wish someone was standing next to it to give it some perspective, or parked next to a regular Rubicon. Either way I can't wait to see mine in person though. ?

It looks like they slapped 35s on a standard height rubicon. Also the rear tires look to stick out excessively.

Man there are some haters bashing the XR in the other forum. Im still pumped and I hope everyone else is too!
I can’t wait for mine to come in. Haters or not, it’s a more capable, fun and upgraded Wrangler, all that for a great price and with fully warranty.

More photos from other thread...Rear tires don’t stick way out...

Already gave my rant in other thread to the Haters, so I’ll save it for here...bottom line. I like It for what it is aNd can’t wait to see it on our Tuscadero!

From these photos I was expecting much more clearance up top. I agree it looks like a stock Rubicon with 35". If that is the case pretty disappointing. Guess I will be showing for a lift after all.

Don't fret yet.

The photo of that first XR white Rubi was taken at a more elevated position (I'm guessing 5'-5.5'), at a fairly close distance, with a wide angle lens. All could contribute to why the gap between fender flare and tire is not so pronounced.

The rendering on Jeep's site, as well as the launch photos linked above, were all taken at a much lower view point. And we all know that's how you make your lift look nice and tall.

I'd wait for actual measurements before rendering judgment.

Not super scientific but close enough. Last pick is non lifted on 35" KO2.

To me the pre production units look about an inch taller. Stellantis probably cheaped out on the lift. Not sure how this “competes” with Ford Sasquatch package.
