I have a '21 Jeep Rubicon stripped down on options inside and out (nothing extra) because I'm building it up. The only factory upgrades I did was 2.0 Engine, 8 speed auto transmission, hard top, dark gray paint, tow package (a must), floor mats and spare tire carrier. I have put aftermarket: bumpers, side armor/sliders, two inch lift, sector shaft brace, power stearing boost valve with cooler, 37's on bead lockers, and running 5.13 gears. It does everything I want offroad and drive excellent even at highway speed.
Ordered a ‘23 Willys XR in Granite Crystal, can’t wait for it to get here. That Gobi looks incredible too. I like how the Willys XR is becoming an alternative to the Rubicon. Lower price point, similar creature comforts and you can always add leather seats, lockers, and discos aftermarket if you need them.
One of your best videos. I will stay hooked on these two Jeeps, comparing and contrast how you build them out and hopefully how they perform comparatively on the same obstacles. Very interesting.
Best video. Thank you so much. Just crashed my beautiful JKU and moving up to a Rubicon Recon model. I don’t want to do any mods like my JKU. Been there done that. Just want to enjoy. Thanks for this comprehensive video
If only the Willy's XR had a rear locker! I didn't know we can finally get the dana 44's without the Rubicon trim. Jeep is heading the right way with better axles on lower trim levels.
The locker on the Rubicon might come in handy when rock crawling in 4-lo but for for daily winter driving the Willys will have a LSD in the rear while the Rubicon is an open dif.
Another great video, have always wanted a closer look at a more base vs the rubicon… love your Jeep and the set up and you’ve given me something to chew on… keep up the great work 👍
I ordered a 2022 Willys Sport JLU with the canvas top and six speed manual with no creature comforts it’s an amazingly simple vehicle that has more capabilities stock than I still have the courage to use. Yet compared to my father-in-law’s 1969 Dauntless CJ5 the 2022 Willys Sport is a luxury vehicle!
As a new subscriber I find your presentations to be well done. We recently bought a Wrangler sport so we are new to the Jeep family and enjoy seeing videos of other peoples vehicles. Keep them coming, and all the best.
It’s so sad to see that in 2023 jeep still won’t give standard led headlights for all models like almost every other manufacturer, do better Jeep, you’re charging 50-70k.
Well the willies is closer to the original design and I see these "basic" jeeps sell really well. I would like to know how much lighter the willy is. There has to be a pretty big difference and that will also be noticable off road.
Great video man! As someone that currently thinking about getting a jeep in future. Thanks for show the difference, I did drive my best friends jeep gladiator, last month when we went to big bend. I definitely think the v6 is under power. So a 2.0 turbo sounds like a great option.
P.S. I also got it in black that way the front grill was “color matched” along with the black canvas top and black plastic fenders. Even my bumpers match. Plus I really like the finishing touches of the “All-Black” look provided by the black painted Moab wheels and blacked out badging. Did get heritage cloth interior to lighten it up inside.
You can use fabric markers to black out that red stitching on your Rubicon. I'm with you - if the red doesn't nicely complement the exterior color, puke. I would opt for the brown leather seats so the stitching is white and the dash is gray.
Great compare Matt actually between this video and your video on a 2.0 turbo super helpful and making my decisions. Struggling with the leather seats versus cloth when I order do you find the cloth is more problematic when you do a bunch of off roading Or do you intend on doing upgrades later to the seats
You make an excellent you tube video! I Love the new XR,… I have one on order, hopefully here this fall. Would love to hear your thoughts on mods for the wheels? I haven’t seen one ‘in the wild’ yet, but am considering 1.25” wheel spacer - do you think the XR needs a little more aggressive stance (hard for me to tell until I see one in person). Would also love to see some clips with the Jeep ‘in action’, even on some mild off-road terrain
Love the video, but I'm really looking for a video reviewing/comparing the 2.0L JLU with Extreme package OFF ROAD... it must exist, it has to. Haven't found one yet though. Do you have a video for that? My fiancé and I work in the mountains but drive 1hour highway to get there. I'm leaning towards the Willy's 2.0L with Extreme package but not sure how it is off road. Technically, we need a 2.0L JLU on the way there and a 3.6L when we're there unless the 2.0L can handle steep hills on winding mountain roads, gravel or dirty roads, washed out roads and light-medium fording, probably no rock climbing but wooded and open trails for sure and large acreage off road driving.
I keep racking my brain on both a Willys recon or a base Rubicon. I never had lockers on my truck and I won't have time to work on my Jeep for at less a year. Willys should be good I think.
I am on my second base JL Rubicon, and absolutely love them; however, had the Willys XR been an option before, I would have picked it over the base Rubi.
On Jeep's website I can't build a Willys with the Recon pkg and cold weather group. I wonder if something changed since your dad built his? Thanks for the videos and I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do with these cool Jeeps
In 2020 I got the Willy's & loved it, but I wanted lockers. So few months back I traded for 22 Sarge Rubicon 2.0L. Can you make a video about the offroad+ feature? I love using it in 4H. Very little to no vids about benefits & when best to use it.
I really wish they had the option on the Willys to not get the black grill...I wonder how much it would cost for a body shop to swap out a matching color grill
LOL tried to build these...I can't do both XR with Cold weather package..I click Cold weather and it delets the XR and vice versa. seems they want you just get the Rubi if you want XR and Cold weather
Did you get the sand color paint from the factory? I didn't think that was an option. I would definitely pull the trigger on having one built if that was the case.
I have an honest question: Do the hood vents even work? AFAIK, they don't have any holes, and just spit water out the side through a channel in the insulation. Maybe air can seep through the insulation? I'm not sure.
Xtreme recon was not an option when I got my 21 Willys back in Oct 2020. Suggestions on going with bigger tires using the stock rims and no mods to the suspension? Also no spacers.
Why is the off-road plus button gone on the Rubicon? Did they remove the ability to have the rear locker on in 4wd hi then? My rubi allows this when in off-road plus mode.
@@DIRTROADCRED Awesome. 7 Jeep Badge of honor trails between Colorado and Tennessee....never messed with it lol. Did try out the off road "cruise control". Neat concept, but didn't really find it necessary unless down hill. Can't wait to see the vid. THANKS!
So the Rubicon has a cabin air filter, and from what I can tell from Jeep's website, the Willys does not. Do you know if there is a way to add one to the Willys?
I know the fronts will fit, the rear from what I’m hearing will with a bit of persuasion, not cutting just maybe a little heat to help mold the plastic!
@@DIRTROADCRED awesome brother. I've been looking for a little bit extra coverage and I like the look of the flares. Thank you so very much for taking the time to help out. Hope y'all have a great rest of your weekend
@@DIRTROADCRED - True,,, I forgot to put smiley faces,,,,, I was being a smart*ss. Sorry about that!! I do have friends that painted them and liked the look. They take on most of the texture of the plastic so it’s not a smooth finish like the factory, except the grill of course. The silver looks good. Stronger colours like red or yellow looks kinda cheap on the painted plastic. I think those colours should have a smooth finish like yours. I like the Willys more so in my case as I’m never rock climbing and only in muddy fishing trails and the like. I HAD a 2019 Wrangler Rubicon diesel. Loved that!! Traded it for a 69 Bronco though. Straight across. I definitely did better in that trade. Now the only Jeep in the family is a Wrangler Sahara 4xe that my wife drives. She does just over 80% EV with it as we live on the edge of a city now.
Nobody should buy any Jeep before 2024 as the twin turbo Hurricane straight 6 , 500 Hp rolls out to make the Jeeps do what they are built to do. The radio junk and color is for very few, not someone who is actually a worker. Give me a simple speaker and am/fm . Actually, a plug in for a transceiver to use speakers and power would be a great add on for those of us that work for a living.
Lockers; transfer case; sway bar disconnects; all in the Rubicon for off roading along with some more minor things. If off roading isn’t your prime effort and just want a cool Jeep to play around with then the Willys is fine. I have owned both in the past and the Rubi is defiantly worth the extra money for the performance it brings. But- I’m thinking either the Willys or a Bronco for my next off roader. I have no plans on extreme off-roading.
Dealbreaker this 35 inch wheel and tire package is not available on a two door not everybody wants or needs a four-door but apparently to jeep everybody needs a four-door wrangler. What’s next a four-door Corvette?
Thanks for watching!
Which one are you going with?
I ordered the diesel from your dealer last month. Looking forward to the road trip back to New Mexico
Looking to forward to you picking it up!

Awesome vid! My 2023 Willy’s XR in sarge green should be here any day now! I also got tan seats like your dad! I can’t wait!
You’ll love it!
Save money & buy the Willys, then spend a few bucks on the drivertrain & it can be just as capable as the Rubi.
Great point, you can definitely modify it exactly the way you want with a Willy’s trim!
Best video. Thank you so much. Just crashed my beautiful JKU and moving up to a Rubicon Recon model.
I don’t want to do any mods like my JKU. Been there done that. Just want to enjoy.

No problem! Thanks for watching!
If only the Willy's XR had a rear locker! I didn't know we can finally get the dana 44's without the Rubicon trim. Jeep is heading the right way with better axles on lower trim levels.

Great point!
Ive been through some crazy trails in my bone stock Willys on 33’s, i can’t even imagine what i would need lockers for
Lol even crazier trails!
Another great video, have always wanted a closer look at a more base vs the rubicon… love your Jeep and the set up and you’ve given me something to chew on… keep up the great work 👍
Thanks so much!
It needs to be said Willys comes standard with rear LSD, which isn't an option for a Rubicon. Arguably this gives you better on road capabilities
Great point!

Yea this guys delivery is top notch.. quick, informative, no bs.
I just received my Gobi 392 when i ordered they dropped the XR package on 392’s but I’m still a happy camper
That’s awesome! It’s a great color!
It’s so sad to see that in 2023 jeep still won’t give standard led headlights for all models like almost every other manufacturer, do better Jeep, you’re charging 50-70k.
Matt, these are excellent videos. Very informative and have been very helpful in deciding what I want to order as I am new to the jeep world.
Thanks Doc!
I ordered a Willy’s with XR in august! My brother has a 392 with XR and that’s what got me hooked! Great video!
Awesome! You both will love them!
I bought the Rubicon, one and done! Thanks Matt!
Same here!
I have both. The Willys has the diesel and I added the front camera to the Willys.
Really wish they would offer the eco diesel with the extreme recon package.
Was the hardest decision to make.
Definitely a tough choice!
V6 all day, maintenance is cheaper and so is the fuel
Willys, Willis . Colored matched flares are nice for the MAL CRAWLER.
Is the 'vented hood' really 'vented? Or is it just for looks? Both great looking machines!
Just for looks!
Well the willies is closer to the original design and I see these "basic" jeeps sell really well. I would like to know how much lighter the willy is. There has to be a pretty big difference and that will also be noticable off road.
Great point!
Did you mention the limited slip?
I believe so!
I enjoyed this video. I have the High Tide edition and I'm really enjoying it!
Thanks for watching! The high tide is awesome!
Those color matched fenders are just going to get scratched! LOL!
Lol you’re right!
Great video man! As someone that currently thinking about getting a jeep in future. Thanks for show the difference, I did drive my best friends jeep gladiator, last month when we went to big bend. I definitely think the v6 is under power. So a 2.0 turbo sounds like a great option.

Great color choice! And the tan is awesome inside!
One can paint match the Willy's after the purchase if one wants. Also, the Willy's Xtreme packaged comes with the Dana44 axles.
Good call!

Hopefully soon! Thanks for watching!
I enjoy seeing the contrast in color between gobi and HV
I do too! Definitely cool colors!
Yeah I love your rubicon everything but the red dash
Going to be changing that soon!
1:28 "The Willis" lol
😅😅
The vented hood doesn’t work unless you replace the vents or cut out the bottom half of the vents I went with Valkyrie vents.
You are correct!
Love the high velocity yellow got the same one in 2 door .
Love to hear it!
I keep racking my brain on both a Willys recon or a base Rubicon. I never had lockers on my truck and I won't have time to work on my Jeep for at less a year. Willys should be good I think.
It all depends on where you plan to take it, I’ve seen Jeeps without lockers conquer a ton of hard trails!
I am on my second base JL Rubicon, and absolutely love them; however, had the Willys XR been an option before, I would have picked it over the base Rubi.
They are definitely very capable with the XR!
Love the red dash but not with the yellow. Please get those plastic bumpers off asap. They make my stomach hurt. 😩
Lol they don’t make me too happy either, dash and bumper upgrades coming soon!
You mentioned that the wheels and tires are equal, but I believe the Willy's has 255's and the Rubicon has 285's. What do you think?
On the Xtreme recon they are the same
@@DIRTROADCRED I see, I did not know that.
Great video. Looking forward to your future content.
Thanks for the kind words! This will be a fun channel for sure!
Loved the video. We are enjoying our new Sahara 4xE.
Thanks for watching! The 4xe is great!
Great video! My only hesitation with the XR package is that the bump stop gap is relatively small (
It is relatively small, I’m going to add a taller lift and it should work out fine!
On Jeep's website I can't build a Willys with the Recon pkg and cold weather group. I wonder if something changed since your dad built his? Thanks for the videos and I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do with these cool Jeeps
You can still build and order it with both, it is a website glitch!

All. I miss in my sport from a rubicon would be the lockers even just a rear locker. All it needs, no need to be 25k more for a rear locker.
Right, good point
I really wish they had the option on the Willys to not get the black grill...I wonder how much it would cost for a body shop to swap out a matching color grill

Gobi came from the factory for a limited time!
That HV color looks sooo awesome!

The hood vents are not functional from the factory!
Yes you can get COLOR MATCH FENDERS ON A WILLYS ,I OWN ONE.
On a gladiator?
both great choices!great video

Willys would be the choice.
Love the willys
Outstanding video!
Thank you!!
Great channel - well done
Thank you very much!
Nice comparison- really helpful
Thanks dawn!!!
The only problem with the Xtreme Recon package is you can't option for a manual transmission
Right)
Do you know if it's possible to get color match fenders on the High Tide?
You can order them seperately, yes
Hey Matt, do you know what impact the Extreme Recon package has on the towing/payload capacities for the Rubicon ER?
They are the same as the standard rubicon from what I can tell!
I have a sport s but with the vented hood how does that work ?
Did it come from the factory like that?
Thanks for the valuable information 👍
I prefer willys
How can I order a brand new wrangler from USA and receive it in GCC?
Keep up the great work
Thanks for watching! Exporting gets a little tricky and it would have to be done by the right broker!
I would just get willy and just mod, you might lose warrenty but it saves tons of money
Good call!
Quick question. I just bought a 2020 Wrangler unlimited Willys. Can I just go to a Jeep dealership and order this package to be installed??
Nope this is an factory option
@DIRT ROAD CRED well that's bogus lol
When is the extreme recon coming out again I don’t see it any more on website. Also how much does the extreme recon cost
It’s a $4000 package, it should be available on all non 392 packagez
@@DIRTROADCRED thanks sorry I was looking only at 2 door jl and couldn’t find that package. Then realized it’s only for 4 doors

Xtreme recon was not an option when I got my 21 Willys back in Oct 2020. Suggestions on going with bigger tires using the stock rims and no mods to the suspension? Also no spacers.
I would go for a taller tire with the same or close to the same width to make sure you don’t rub at full turn!

Yes very soon!
Why is the off-road plus button gone on the Rubicon? Did they remove the ability to have the rear locker on in 4wd hi then? My rubi allows this when in off-road plus mode.
They still have them mine is a 22 and I have the Button!
@@DIRTROADCRED At 6:46 I don’t see it. Mine is above the sway bar disconnect button, so maybe they moved it.

What kind of lift and tires do u have on that Willy??
Standard on the XR package
Is there any difference in mileage between the two? What are they averaging at?
Seeing 22-23 mpg in both!
Does the Willys have the same axles as the Rubicon except without lockers?
Yes!
The willys xr recon gets Dana 44? I know the high tide doesnt just the 456 gears
Yes they have the full size rubicon axles!
@@DIRTROADCRED Does the new high tide get Dana 44s?
It’s not “no way” to get colour matched grill and fenders. They are easy to paint actually.
You could just no way from factory

What color is the Willys
Gobi
Willeys looks way better, but Rubi' ftw.
👍👍👍
Please are both of them the same height ? If no, then may I know the difference ? Thank you !
They are very close, I think the Willy’s may be 0.25” or so taller!

Amazing how much they increased in $$$$ in 2023.
Unfortunately yes
I may have missed it, but what engine does your dad have in his Willy's?
He has the 2.0!
Thanks
Another good video…… when are you gonna start tearing things apart..?
Very soon!!
Can you get extreme recon on gladiator?
Nope! Hoping they might add it to the 2024.
Maybe as a kit for dealer install?
Seems to me from looking at the Jeep Performance Parts catalogue you can buy all the bits and pieces and DIY it
Is the armour underneath the same?
Correct!
I heard those hood vents are just for looks and not functional
You are correct!
Dealbreaker this 35 inch wheel and tire package is not available on a two door not everybody wants or needs a four-door but apparently to jeep everybody needs a four-door wrangler. What’s next a four-door Corvette?
It’s hard to invest so much into the 2 door when they don’t account for much of the sales, I would also like to see it
4dr Willys XR would be my choice, unfortunate that their 2dr doesnt have a fastback rollcage like the 4dr though, just an ugly square one
That would be neat on the 2 door
Why cant you get the 3.6 v6 with the willys xr?
You can!
@@DIRTROADCRED well I guess the website has a glitch because its wouldn't let me pick the 3.6. Maybe the dealer ordering system is different

Is it Willies or Willous
To be honest I’ve heard both at this point…. Lol
Willis, it’s been around since WWII. I get irritated when people say it wrong lol
0:11 Two different vehicles, Two different purposes. What are they? One is Jeep and the other is Jeep.
