You can already buy these, and have been able to for a while.So I read the new Xtreme recon JL is available with optional 4.88 gears. Has anyone come across a part number for these.
He's referring to the factory option with the XR package.You can already buy these, and have been able to for a while.

MOPAR has offered these for quite a while.
Yes, but this is what he said -He's referring to the factory option with the XR package.
Apparently asking about the GEARS. "optional 4.88 gears. Has anyone come across a part number for these."available with optional 4.88 gears. Has anyone come across a part number for these.
Apparently I was wrong…Yes, but this is what he said -

When I saw him asking for a part number for the gears, are you sure he was asking about the sales code for that optional package? Or, a part number for the gears?
Join my club............Apparently I was wrong…
Your club is for losers, who admit they were wrong. As long as I don't admit it, I never have to be wrong on the interwebs...Join my club............
We were both trying to help.
Well, optional ratios used to cost about $50 on a pickup. The part WILL cost a little more, just because it's lower volume production, but the biggest cost is in the added parts management.Would be better if Jeep just offered different gear ratios not associated with 50k packages and badges. How much cost difference is really associated with different gear ratios from the factory Jeep?
Exactly and the lost productivity at changeovers on the line. Change overs on even the same exact model were always the biggest hang-ups to make sure that all the parts that were needed to run that lot were on the line. It has been some time since I worked in an auto plant, I wonder how they are planning to deal with the increased number of customers placing custom orders vs buying off the lot -- given that dealer installs of any substance are minimal now.Well, optional ratios used to cost about $50 on a pickup.

It seems to me that it would be the same as any other customer ordered Jeep. There are already Jeeps going down the line with different gear ratios depending on order specs and trim.
