 Hey everybody this is Brett with Summit Automotive and today I'm in the brand new Jeep showroom in the drive up that we just made a couple months ago and I'm going to be going over the 2023 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I got two different ones to my left and right and the first one is just a normal Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with no special packages on it and the other one is the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with the Extreme Recon 35 inch tire package and we're going to get into all that in tails and show you the differences between that package and one without that package. So let's get started and grab your coffee. So the first thing that you're going to notice in difference wise between the Extreme Recon package and the Non-Extreme Recon package is obviously the tire size and the difference in wheels. On the Extreme Recon package you're going to get LT315 70 R17 tires and on the Non-Extreme Recon package you're going to get LT285 70 R17 tires. The other difference is obviously the wheels. These wheels are special to the Extreme Recon package they are beadlock capable and on this Wrangler these are the standard 17 inch painted and polished aluminum wheels and they are not beadlock capable. There's also a height difference and if you go to tiresize.com slash height dash calculator you'll be able to punch in these numbers and get the numbers that I'm about to give you. So on the Extreme Recon the tire height is 34.4 inches high and 12.4 inches wide. On the Non-Extreme Recon package it's 32.7 inches high and 11.2 inches wide. So that's 1.7 inches higher on just the tires on the Extreme Recon and 1.2 inches wider on the Extreme Recon package. The other thing that you'll notice just from this shot right here is that you get these fender flares on the Extreme Recon package that not only keeps the mud and everything from flying up onto your vehicle but it's also to be compliant with laws and regulations for highways. So those are the main differences and we'll get into the next stuff right now. Okay so for the next differences between the regular Rubicon and the Rubicon Extreme Recon we are under the front body of the vehicle. This is the driver's side and you can see this bar right here, the sway bar link and that is painted black and if you measure that it is 6.75 inches from the top to the bottom. So 6.75 inches and if you go to the build sheet on this particular Rubicon it says that it has a Dana M210 front axle and that's all it says. Now if we go to the Extreme Recon package, we are on the same side of the vehicle but you can see that that sway bar link is definitely not painted, it's a different color and if you look real closely it is longer than the non-Recon package and this one is actually 7.75 inches from the bottom to the top so it's an inch longer and if you go to the build sheet on this Wrangler it says that it has a Dana M210 heavy duty tube front axle so this is the heavy duty version of the Dana M210. Let's get to the rest of the vehicle. So here is the original window sticker for this 23 Jeep Wrangler 4 door Rubicon. You can see the Extreme Recon 35 inch tire package is a $3,995 option and it tells you that you get these 17 by 8 inch beadlock capable wheels and the hinge gate reinforcement by Mopar as well as the LT31570R17 tires. On Jeep's website however it tells you that you also get performance anti-lock four wheel disc brakes. So on the front here this is the front of the Extreme Recon tire package. There's not a whole heck of a lot that's different from those brakes to the brakes right here so I was like boy what's going on but if we go to the back here are the brakes on the back of the non Extreme Recon package so they look a lot like the ones on the front but if you go to the ones on the back of the Extreme Recon package you'll notice that they are quite different you can see the slots in there those were not on the normal one so that is the next major difference you get the high performance four wheel disc anti-lock brakes on the Extreme Recon package. The next big difference is that you can see on the regular Rubicon the tire is basically just mounted to the rear gate and there's no real hardware that's associated with that you just have the normal hinges on the gate now if we go over to the Extreme Recon package you can see that this one has the hinge gate reinforcement so that's pretty heavy duty steel there that's connected to the rear gate of the Wrangler there's also a tire relocation kit to raise the tire up a little bit so it clears the rear bumper and otherwise everything else looks pretty much the same also included in this package is a jack spacer kit to help jack up the vehicle because it is a little bit taller which brings us to the next big difference between these two vehicles so the last thing I wanted to do with this particular video was find out the exact height of the Rubicon Extreme Recon 35 inch tire package compared to the normal height of the just standard Rubicon package so what I did is when grabbed my Lord Calvert tape measure and I measured from the bottom of the back tire through the axle to the very top of the Wrangler because this is the highest point on a Wrangler is right above the rear axle and I came up with 75 and a half inches on the Rubicon Extreme Recon 35 inch tire package and it was 73 and a half inches on the regular Rubicon so exactly after tires and suspension considered it's exactly two inches taller from tires to top on the Rubicon Extreme Recon package I also did measure the springs in the front and they are exactly one inch taller on the Extreme Recon package they are 13 inches in the front and then they're 12 inches in the normal Rubicon so the last thing I wanted to talk about on the Rubicon Extreme Recon 35 inch tire package is that this one has the 456 gears and it also has the 6100 gross vehicle weight rating to it and those are the final two differences I can't really show them to you I can just tell you about them but those are the final two differences that I was able to find on the Rubicon Extreme Recon 35 inch tire package over the normal Rubicon vehicle so thank you so much for checking out the video remember to like subscribe and share on the YouTube channel if you learned anything if you have any comments or questions please post them in the comments below love to hear your feedback as always and have a great day and go get some coffee
