Nearly all the SEMA JL's had aftermarket fenders on them. Did you see all the photos? Should be lots of ideas/options.

There's several documents out with inconsistent info so I'd take everything with a grain of salt right now. For example this is the first I've read about optional soft-wrapped dash with accent stitching for the Rubicon. So it could be wrong or maybe later-availability. @JAY did say Jeep was...
Previous generation (JKU) doors weight were 62.2 lbs (front) 46.4 lbs (rear).
We don’t know how much JLU doors weigh yet but they are aluminum construction now so I’d expect they should be lighter.
If you're going to vinyl wrap the car, it's best to order it in a color that's closest to the color you're wrapping in. What color are you thinking of for the wrap?
Best colors for resale are the most popular purchased colors which are usually the basic colors like black, white, silver, gray.
Doesn't matter much since I'm getting the JL in black lol. :giggle: But will probably get black unpainted fenders just to minimize damage from wheeling. I guess if you don't off road much at all the color fenders would make most sense.

No straight on view unfortunately but you can see how much more raked the JL windshield is and how the grilles compare. The JL is an Overland Sahara model with that leather stitched dash trim and tan seats.
Very nice. What do you guys have planned?
Any other vendors out there already order one? Really curious to see how many vendors will have products available as soon as the JL starts delivery (which means they probably already had specs from FCA to work with).
As for me I’m waiting for a few...
I think your financial analysis is definitely sound. Since you are forced to pay MSRP, it makes no sense to buy a JK over a JL since you won’t be able to take advantage of the discounting we’ll see on JK’s once JL’s hit dealers.
Seems like the JL has been spotted more frequently recently. Two recent stories on the homepage both had JL's in it.

Looks like they had some kind of live driveable terrain in the background. Now that would be a sweet way to introduce the JL & JLU - to let people try them out on a driving course!
Can we assume that this is Selec-Trac (and not Selec-Trac II) that we're getting? I wouldn't want Selec-Trac II.
The more full blown Selec-Trac has all the modes - 2H, 4H Part Time, 4L Part time, 4H Full Time and N. Selec-Trac II has 2H, 4WD Auto and 4L.
