From the auto show..have these been posted?
If it had black fenders, that's my Jeep!
I'm guessing I'm a Yuppie, but I'm an excited Yuppie. The nameplate is interesting...wish they'd left the tires off it.
Thanks for the pics. The decals are growing on me, but still not sure I like them long term. I can only imagine what they will look like in 10 years.
The front axle on the new Recons is an upgraded D44, stronger than the axles that come on the Rubicons and Hard Rocks.A very cool looking jeep. I do like some of the aesthetic changes, like how the inner hood and cowl piece are coated with the black material. That said, I don't think there is enough of a change to make me wish I had the Recon over my HR.
And I'm not sure I understand what makes the Recon's drivetrain or front end any better than a HR.
What were the extra bits added to make the jeep more accommodating to 35's straight from the factory?
HRs already have stronger axles with Dana 44's front and rear, and you can get 4.10s with that. Unless the Recons come standard with 4.10 gears, what am I missing? The .5" additional lift over a HR? Is that really enough to clear 35's?
