I’m just judging by the photos from the first white one that showed up. Again, why paint aluminum? It doesn’t make sense unless it is to protect against rust

I just noticed surface rust on the machined face close to the bottom of the upper ball joint, and the drag link connection. It’s steel

They’re cast iron.

They’re cast iron.

Lol, that may be the case. I started by saying both, but shortened to steel cause I was too lazy to type both. But it's ferrous metal, not aluminum.

Edit: also, do you have a source with more information or just surmising based on the photo?

Supposed to be in town this weekend, but, it will need to catch a truck to the dealership. I expect to see it this week

Ok now for the questions from earlier in this thread that we all need answered! :-P

- Is the CAD gone on the front axle with the XR edition beefed up front axle?
- Are the flare extensions removeable by themselves so I dont rip them off on the first trail I take it on?
- Any interior changes that they didnt tell us about?
- How much real world extra lift is there?
- What color are the wheels and beadlock rings? Looks like Granite Crystal/Gunmetal wheels with a black ring?
- Whats going on with the rear tail lights? Are they spaced out from the body?
- You take that thing off any sweet jumps?

Additional question / request:

- Overall height
- Photo of the JL plaque in the tailgate

 

[TallDude]

Does anyone have real life height measurements of a regular JLUR vs a JLUR-XR?

[LongTimeListener]

Oooo new tailgate plaque.

 

[Jeepeto]

Bard delivers! Nice!

Any word on the FAD? Pics of the front axle from the diff to the passenger wheel would be sufficient if you don’t know what to look for.

So awesome someone here took delivery of an XR!

Here’s a short video I found on YouTube for the xr.
