Just purchased a 2017 Recon. Having been a long-time USAA member, combined with an end of the month dealer motivation, I was blessed to get quite an outstanding deal (and good grief, MSRP was almost $51k). Thankful too for this forum for helping me sort out all the "little" things in my research. Because of that, I held out for the 4.10 (not the easiest to find) and the Alpine system. Having shopped these all over SoCal, I'm pretty sure this one has all the options I'll need. Although black was my second choice, I couldn't pass it up. Happy to be back in the Jeep fold since I sold my '98 Sahara in 2001. Looking forward to learning a lot from you all.

Welcome to the forum. That's a very nice looking Jeep!!

That's a good looking Jeep :thumb:.

Coming from someone with the Hard Rock rims, I have developed an appreciation for the alloys Jeep has been offering on most of the new models (Recon included). Many people change things like wheels and tires, but I'd be tempted to leave those for awhile unless needing a different wheel for offset and tire fitting purposes.

Not to get too personal, OP, but are you named Saoirse? A beautiful Irish name, mysteriously pronounced Seer-sha, from what I understand.

Don't know why I asked except I wouldn't imagine you see too many Saoirse's in SoCal, other than Saoirse Ronan, if she even lives there. But heck, it might be like Susan, for all I know, in the Irish community.

You Recon looks great! Good luck and enjoy her. I picked mine up a month ago and I just love it! I went with Billet Silver as I traded in a black Rubicon. But Black is beautiful!

Damn, I was going to sign up to this forum, use my first post to say I don't like the rims on your brand new (beautiful) jeep, but I was about three years too early to this forum plus that other guy beat me to it :D

I never said I didn't like the rims, I said the HR rims look way better. It's my opinion and I gave it because it's the Recon's main visually obvious difference from the HR. So what if I'm new register user? So what if I live in SF? What does that have to do with my opinion on rims?
