2 Door Xtreme Recon!

If this is true, then really glad I have a Ruby X 2-door on order (scheduled build date is March 22nd) with the 35" tire package. Depending on what they offer on the '25 MY, I might just have to get last call for 'Real Jeeps'
However, it is hard to believe they would drop the 2-door as long as the existing JL platform is still in production...

Very sad. We all saw it coming though. Another reason to keep mine forever! I’m sure one with 4 doors would be my next build anyway.

The value of our 2-doors immediately went up by 35% based on this news!

I look for the JT to go away after 2025 too.

That is indeed possible. I did see a photo of a future Jeep-like vehicle. It looked more like the modern Defender. The grill slots were really small given that batteries and electric motors do not require as much cooling.

My Bright White '24 JLR-X w/35's arrived at the railhead near the dealer yesterday! I leave tomorrow for a business trip abroad but she should be waiting for me when I return.

I already have a stack of goodies waiting to install: Warn Zeon 10-S, Grimm winch mount for OEM steel bumper, Grimm mid height grille guard/hoop, MetalCloak rear bumper (HD with modular ends and a good aesthetic match for OEM steel front once you switch the gold end cap bolts for black torx) Rock Hard 4x4 Angle-up sliders and Mopar Recon fender vent flag decal.

Anxious to see how the factory 35" suspension stacks up to my fully custom 2.5" lift w/ 37 D KO2's on my '20 JLR...that one I really dialed in. Likely I will replace the stock shocks with longer non-reservoir Fox units with the 2.5" body, add a Synergy adjustable front track bar and at least adjustable lower front control arms.
Will first drive it fully stock for a few days to let things settle in and then take some baseline measurements. Top off the gas, put her on a scale and record weights, then check tire pressure and on a level floor take ride height measurements from floor to edge of fender flare extensions at wheel centerline for all four wheels.
