Would like to see you do the same type of review when you get a 392 in. Super excellent walk around

No brainer. Xtreme Recon Package is a must. So worth it and all properly installed from factory.

This is interesting to see. Most Jeep owners are all too ready to throw lifts and big tires on their rigs, but almost no one talks about strengthening the knuckles, lengthening the sway bar links, or any of the other half dozen adaptations Jeep did for this package from the factory.

It makes me wonder, at least from an engineering perspective, how much stress people are putting on other parts of their Jeeps without realizing it when they do these big tire and lift kits.

Awesome walk around! I just ordered Zynith silver xtreme recon rubicon yesterday. I can't wait for it to get here! Thanks for all your videos. They really helped in my decisions and build.

Appreciate the up close view of the nuts and bolts of the XR package. A couple other items I've heard mentioned, but haven't seen/confirmed (or can't be seen) are vacuum booster on master cylinder, heavy duty steering gear box, steering pump calibration, speedo calibration to tires, heavy duty version of Dana 44 front axle, heavy duty front diff housing. On a side note, I wonder what the TPMS is set to for recommended pressure in the 35" K02's?

[angry-newyorker]

Was the front track bar different like the rear one was? Also what was the customer having done to their Jeep?

[jefftenhave]

The front axle tubes are also thicker then the standard D44 housing. Apparently it’s the Mojave/392 housing. Hence GVW is also bumped up from 5800# to 6100#.

Cool to see all the upgrades. I was behind one on the trail a few weeks ago and was surprised the extreme recon didn’t come with the Fox shocks that the 2” mopar lift comes with, but great value overall. Wish they sold the 4xe Rubicon with an extreme recon option.

[claudetheruler]

What happened to the FOX suspension lift? Didn’t the Xtreme package come with it?

[mininut]

Excellent!!! I love undercarriage lift reviews. The Xtreme Recon package really takes the Wrangler to another level. It kicks the aftermarket suspension companies where it hurts. Your video informed me that buyers are getting stronger steel knuckles when ordering $4k XR package. This package has been unavailable on the 392 edition for the past two months.

I retire in two years and I'm playing with the idea of getting a jeep I'm old enough to remember duel exhaust helps the engine breathe and gets better mileage would love to see you do a video own duel exhaust

[jasonlovell]

Very good details. Better than all the professional reviews!

[laloolhouvum]

Recon extreme package is more suitable than the 392 in my case. With its steel bumpers, installed a 10k lbs warn winch, a pair of bj LP pro 6 lights on the bumpers, swap the factory fog lamp with the S1 led spot, an A-pillars S2 pro amber lights, rhino roof racks with couple of chase lights, auxiliary lights for reverse, genesis dual battery system, 60% seats delete with goose gear, Redarc bcdc 1250d with 120 ah battery with remote display screen, Arb cargo drawer system with sleek telescopic slide(aluminium for light weight), wholsale Rtt, batwing awnings, gullwings on the back widows etc. Suspension and tyres after all above are installed. To buy it once and buy it right.

How come this extreme recon package is nowhere to be found on the Jeep website? Also, can you get this 35 inch recon package with a manual transmission?

[michaelbergquist]

Mr. Mohl,
Outstanding review! 2 quick questions specific to the Xtreme Recon Package:
1.) any third brake light relocation options/updates since this April walkaround?
2.) are Diff Breather Tubes factory-extended to accommodate for deeper water fording allowed by the factory lift?
Thanks!

[Max-knyi]

What would be a good shock upgrade to those red stock ones. Fox adjustable?
Is there anything that could improve the stock xtreme suspension?

[louistiches]

Wish that you measure the disks. I am curious to know if they really are a larger diameter disk brake.

[frandrew]

What impact on the payload does this package have?

[madustacassidy]

Any idea HOW to actually get those fender flare extensions off? People seem to be cutting them off rather than drilling them.
🤔
I definitely don't want to do that, but I can't get them off. Any insight?
I'm new to this, so mentioning specific tools would be great. LOL

[wimvolkers]

Why doesn’t the Xtreme recon package have fox shocks?
