Jeep Announces Wrangler Xtreme Recon Package

[Ezekielg1]

4.88's will be an option later this year.

I know mopar already offers 4.88 as an factory aftermarket performance part that can be installed at pickup… a friend just had the installed “for free.” They are fully covered

We’ll, this confirms what the 40.4 was about.

Too bad this was only to one up Ford on "Best in class" claims with very specific configurations.

Jeep must think that few people will actually end up getting the Sasquatch pkg on lower trims.

Huh? A dealership installed new gears in his Jeep for "free"? What dealership did that?

No one is asking the Obvious question: Where is the Gladiator love??

Well done Jeep! Thank you.

Waiting to see what Ford does with a Bronco pickup?

So I wonder if there are still those holding out hope for, or even insisting (one poster in particular) that Jeep will eventually do a 2 door Gladiator?

392: Only Wrangler and Rubicon thus far. Obviously to counter Bronco. No direct competitor for the JT yet.

4xe: Only Wrangler thus far. Only Sahara, High Altitude and Rubicon. No direct competitor for the JT yet.

Xtreme Recon: Only Wrangler thus far. Only Rubicon and 392. No direct competitor for the JT yet.

I wonder if Jeep will hold back this package on the Gladiator until they see if/ how badly a Bronco pickup beats their breakover and departure.

I think the only chance of a 2 door is if Ford does the unexpected and offers one. Jeep seems to be holding things back unless and until they face a competitor.

Interested to see what the pricing is on the package.

That's what it was! The price of 1/2 of the Jeep.

Well there is that 40.4

 

[DocMike]

I used to do that in my 1951 Chevy truck. It had the Granny gear. You could just walk along side of it.

100:1 Crawl Ratio. Now you can jump out of the Jeep in the Starbucks drive-thru, jog past all your fellow Venti-Lovers, get up to the speaker, order and wait for your Recon to join you.

Only thing im jealous of is the factory 4.56

I hear ya. Here I am looking at maybe moving to a Willy's diesel .... but then I read this thread and Im like wait...I have 35's and 4.56 and WTF am I thinking, LOL. I will say since I have had the 4.56's added that I truly believe all gladiators should have come stock with this gearing.

If this is to be believed...
