A leak revealed Jeep’s Xtreme Recon Package and the company just “officially” at the Chicago Auto Show. Probably the most extreme off-road package ever for a Jeep, the package will set you back $3,995.

To recap, the Xtreme Recon Package turns the Wrangler into even more of an off-road beast. It includes:

LT315/70R17C (35-inch) BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tires17-inch by 8-inch beadlock wheelsSwing gate reinforcement4.56:1 axle ratio1.5-inch factory suspension lift with uniquely tuned shocks

The result of all of this is what Jeep is saying are best-in-class approach and departure angles (47.4 and 40.4 respectively) and best in class ground clearance and water fording capability. This package is only available on Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with the 3.6-liter V6 and eTorque and Wrangler 392. That means, looking at Jeep’s current pricing, a fully loaded Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited with this package should be over $60,000 with the Wrangler 392 cresting $80,000.

How does this pricing compare to the next closest extreme off-road SUV, the Bronco with the Sasquatch package? Well, the Sasquatch package is more widely available for one. Ford doesn’t just limit the package to the upper trims of the Bronco. You can get it on every single trim level. Is it cheaper? That depends. The price weirdly varies depending on trim. On the Base and Big Bend, the package is $1,000 more than the Jeep at $4,995; On Black Diamond, it’s $4,495; Outer Banks it’s $4,200; Badlands it’s just $2,495. The Wildtrack and First Edition trims get the package standard. Any way you go about it though, the Wrangler with the Xtreme Recon Package and a Bronco with the Sasquatch Package are the top of the pile when it comes to off-road supremacy. It should be interesting to see how this fight plays out.

For $3,500, Could This Crazy 1979 VW Rabbit Cabriolet Make Everything Okay?
Whether it’s rabbit season or duck season, today’s VW Rabbit is one loony car-toon. Let’s see if the price on this bold mashed-up mid-enginer could make you even carrot all. Ah yes, the good old days; back when Three’s Company asked us all to knock on their door; you could...

For $950, Could This 1974 Mazda RX4 Wagon Be The Barn Find Of The Century?
The seller of today’s Mazda RX4 says it has been in storage since all the way back in 1982. Let’s see if its present condition and price are enough to warrant waking up Rip Van Wankel. Peas in your carrots are okay, right? Just as is peanut butter in your...

Lynk & Co Won't Do Model Years, Dealers, Or Maybe Even Sell Cars At All
Lynk & Co’s philosophy is, in many ways, the diametrical opposite of gearheadom: they feel that people who will want their cars won’t care about what’s under the hood, how fast it will go, or even if they’ll actually own the car or not. , so there won’t be, say,...

The 2017 Lexus IS 200T Is Way Better Than Just A '3 Series Fighter'
Stop calling a compact luxury sports sedan that isn’t a BMW a “ fighter.” There really are such things as sports sedans that aren’t from Bavaria, and the current is one of them. Here’s why it’s more than just an also-ran, and why its new-for-2017 turbo four-cylinder engine makes it...

For $40,000, Could This 1987 Lada VFTS Rally The Troops?
It sure seems like Russia has been winning a lot of late. If you want to get on that winning team then maybe today’s Lada VFTS will be the way to go. That is, if its price isn’t a loser. That’s what I’m talking about! Yesterday’s may have been down,...

I’ve always had a love hate relationship with the . Long before I was old enough to start a 911, let alone drive one, I had dreams about racing them, the monster 935 slant nose turbo ones being my favorite. Years later, driving license in hand, I got a chance...
