XTREME RECON Edition JL Club Thread

[Murphydog]

I decided on trying the Sahara Running Boards on my Willys XR so my SO can more easily climb in. I got a new pair off eBay for a great price. While waiting for my XR to be shipped & delivered, I'm deciding on mud flaps.

For those who got 'em, which will best fit with the Sahara Running Boards? Weathertech? Rockblokz XLs? Whichever you got which model did you get that fit on the 35's?

Looks-wise I think I like the Weathertech better, but would use the Rockblokz if they fit better.

Thanks!

Only used RockBlokz on my Rubicon, so I can’t speak how the fit with the Sahara running boards.
I can say they install easily, they fit well around the Rubicon rock slider and so far the very much have protected my door hinges. I had them on while in Moab and zero issues on the trails.
Their website says the fit Saharas, my hunch is the Sahara running board doesn’t go as far forward as the Rubicon rock rails

Been a busy week, I installed the MORE oil pan & transmission skid, complimented with the Skidrow Off-road exhaust loop skid plate. Today I picked it up from having Rock Krawler 2.5” springs & Bilstein 5100’s installed. Gained about 2.25” up front, right at 2” in the rear on my Rubicon XR. Love the stance but it’s begging for 37’s!

Got my 37x12.50 KM3’s on the XR this week. Currently running a 1” front spacer and Mopar LCAs, but have Rk 2.5” springs and MC LCAs ordered. Going with the 2-3” bilsteins for now to give me an additional 2.5” front and 2” rear droop and still keep me out of driveshaft danger. May swap out shocks when I get ready to buy a driveshaft.

how did/do you like the spacer And
Mopar LCA setup? Considering the same but maybe 3/4” spacer vs 1” to prep for 37s. Did the stock shocks do ok? How much bump stop did you add with that setup?

First run on the new RK springs & Bilstein shocks. Rides so nice on & off-road.

Any idea how much lift I will gain on an an Xtreme Recon with a 2 1/2 inch Rustys or RK?

Look up on post #1237. I think that answers your question.

My ‘21 3.6 XR identifies as a 392.
The rear brakes say “392”.

You forced me to look at my 2023 Willys XR and it also says 392

Painted the rings.

I painted mine to match as well:

I jacked this beast up! Use a 24" floor jack...it barley got it off the ground! I slid a 1" square yardstick under to show I got it off the ground.

Just picked this one up yesterday after trading in the Genesis. Still have the Willys (the wife's now).

so I guess the Beach edition has painted fenders and the High Tide has black plastic? I just put a deposit down on a Hydro Blue High Tide and my only nit pick is getting black fenders.
