I have a 2017 JK RUBICON RECON and love it. There is far more that is different about the RECON than the standard RUBICON. The axle shafts are 32 splines with stainless steel axle shafts. The C-knuckles in the front are much bigger than standard RUBICON. There is more that is different about the RECON like the DANA 44 axles are built very tough like a SUPER DANA 44. This is the most capable JEEP that was and has ever been built from the factory. I have had the pleasure of owning and wheeling 12 different JEEPS in my 66 years on this earth and my current 2017 WRANGLER JK RUBICON RECON is by far my favorite.
Same thing as my wrangler HardRock edition exactly the same, except the fancy badges and red stitching my leather heated seats have white stitching same Hood bumpers danna 44
Recon has thicker axle tubes up front, as well as thick, cast diff covers front an back, both of which are exclusive to the Recon models. Rock rails are a bit different too, but essentially the same as the Hard rock with the perforated step plate welded up top.
Upgrades over the HardRock (Mechanically); Upgraded front axle with thicker tubes and “C”s, cast iron diff covers, upgraded rock rails with step section, 4:10 gears std on all models not just the manual trans, and a 1/2” higher ride height, model specific wheels. I think all else is aesthetic
It’s not a difference between rubicon and recon what are you talking about ? The rubicon has special editions :rubicon hard rock ,rubicon recon ,rubicon 10th anniversary
Sackos64: sell it to a private party to get the most money and go buy the jeep you want. or, trade up and tack on more onto the load you already have. if you can afford it of course. if you can afford it, you don’t have to wait, but you’ll be paying that note off for a longer time, and that’s all up to you.
Front bumper is steel, sliders are different, hood is different, decals, red interior trim and buttons, dash gauges just to name a few. Most of these should be mentioned in the video. Thanks for watching.

You missed the front Dana is the Dana44M and has thicker tubes than regular Rubis. Good video
Oh I know. Both front and rear axles are Dana Super 44s built like a Dana 60 but 44s
I recently got a rubicon recon and love it
Has a ton in common with my old jku recon! Needs a 393 in it
TREMENDOUS Jeep! Sick af!

Yeah. The Hard Rock and Recon are identical. I'd get either.

Is this Rubicon Recon still available in your lot?
It’s not a difference between rubicon and recon what are you talking about ? The rubicon has special editions :rubicon hard rock ,rubicon recon ,rubicon 10th anniversary
what about the recon engine and power?
Its same just v6 pemtastar, and 4.10 axle ratio with 4:1 low range transfer case, same as normal rubi
That is almost the exact jeep I want.. I love the rubicon, my renegade is no where near as nice as this beauty.
trade yours in.
what are you waiting for.
@@ginoasci2876 to have my jeep paid off

I personally wouldn't buy a recon over a Rubicon JL . I wanna buy different bumpers.
Is this recon still available?
You can still buy a 2020 Rubicon Recon. I Just did 11/7/20. There is currently not a 2021 Recon.
Recorded in 2020 but it's a Jk?
And the diferences?

@@BlackstarOffroadFullerton one thing to note is that a JK Rubicon vs JK Rubicon Recon is different than the JL Rubicon vs JL Rubicon Recon
The price.
What was the point of them doing a HALF INCH lift lol
