An Xtreme Recon Version of the Jeep Wrangler... Thanks to the Ford Bronco

The arrival of the Ford Bronco on the market is the best thing that could have happened to the Jeep Wrangler and a boon to off-road enthusiasts. The rivalry drives makers of both to surpass themselves - and we just got another example.

Just as production of the Bronco begins, Jeep is adding an even more capable off-road variant. con. The Xtreme Recon has one goal: to compete with the Sasquatch version of the Ford Bronco.

The Xtreme Recon package will be reserved for the Rubicon Unlimited and Rubicon 392 versions of the Wrangler. It adds 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires mounted on beadlock wheels and a 4.56:1 axle ratio. An upgraded 1.5-inch suspension with retuned shocks will serve the Wrangler Rubicon, while the 392 model will stick with its standard 2-inch suspension.
