I have a '21 Jeep Rubicon stripped down on options inside and out (nothing extra) because I'm building it up. The only factory upgrades I did was 2.0 Engine, 8 speed auto transmission, hard top, dark gray paint, tow package (a must), floor mats and spare tire carrier. I have put aftermarket: bumpers, side armor/sliders, two inch lift, sector shaft brace, power stearing boost valve with cooler, 37's on bead lockers, and running 5.13 gears. It does everything I want offroad and drive excellent even at highway speed.

Do you have a video for that? My fiancé and I work in the mountains but drive 1hour highway to get there. I'm leaning towards the Willy's 2.0L with Extreme package but not sure how it is off road. Technically, we need a 2.0L JLU on the way there and a 3.6L when we're there unless the 2.0L can handle steep hills on winding mountain roads, gravel or dirty roads, washed out roads and light-medium fording, probably no rock climbing but wooded and open trails for sure and large acreage off road driving.

Lockers; transfer case; sway bar disconnects; all in the Rubicon for off roading along with some more minor things. If off roading isn’t your prime effort and just want a cool Jeep to play around with then the Willys is fine. I have owned both in the past and the Rubi is defiantly worth the extra money for the performance it brings. But- I’m thinking either the Willys or a Bronco for my next off roader.

It’s not “no way” to get colour matched grill and fenders. They are easy to paint actually.

You could just no way from factory

@@DIRTROADCRED - True,,, I forgot to put smiley faces,,,,, I was being a smart*ss. Sorry about that!! I do have friends that painted them and liked the look. They take on most of the texture of the plastic so it’s not a smooth finish like the factory, except the grill of course. The silver looks good. Stronger colours like red or yellow looks kinda cheap on the painted plastic. I think those colours should have a smooth finish like yours. I like the Willys more so in my case as I’m never rock climbing and only in muddy fishing trails and the like. I HAD a 2019 Wrangler Rubicon diesel. Loved that!! Traded it for a 69 Bronco though. Straight across. I definitely did better in that trade. Now the only Jeep in the family is a Wrangler Sahara 4xe that my wife drives. She does just over 80% EV with it as we live on the edge of a city now.

really like the rubicon and it's options ... after a few Vodka shots I can move on pass the sticker price shock lol but kidding aside who ever designed this... hint, hint red does not always match with ever color ... truly wished they allowed ya to color match the inside colors same as on the fenders***

@@DIRTROADCRED No cold weather option on '23 JL392. Do you happen to know if it comes by default? Very few options available, but it also comes pretty loaded. I just don't know what's included since it's not listed. Thanks, Matt!

@DIRTROADCRED Жыл бұрын

Yes the cold weather is standard on the 392, as well as safety, advance safety, leather, led, etc
