Now that a bunch of you have the JL's and have been driving them for a while, how much better is the JL on the road and especially on the hwy (ie long drives) compared to the JK/U. One of my biggest gripes about my JKU is that on long Overland style trips it wears me out, so I'm curious really...

Thought I would share.
Mopar is offering a crate Hellcat motor that they announced at SEMA this week.
So who is going to be the first to do this? I wonder if AEV will work on a kit LOL

This image was included as part of the FCA's 2017 third quarter results document.
Admin Addendum:
We all knew it was coming, but an FCA document has now officially confirmed that the Jeep Wrangler JL reveal will come in November. Within its 3rd quarter results document, FCA included a chart...
Who here plans on getting aftermaket rims for their JL/JT? If so post up what you plan on getting.
I'm looking at some of these options:
AEV Borah Wheels:
Mopar Simulated Bead Lock Wheel
Hutchinson Beadlock
I really want these Rotiform Wheels:
But no way I'm dropping $4,500 on just...
Its getting closer to launch and the leaks are slowing down. I'm over here like a crack addict hitting refresh multiple times a day looking for my next hit.
It looks like the CAD for the JT leaked and according to Jalopnik the leaker said everything fwd of the bed is the same as the JL:
But what I thought was interesting about it for the JL peeps is it shows the sports bar a lot.

Did anyone hear any news on whats new for the Rams in 2018? I know the 5th gen 2019 1500 is going to be revealed at Detroit Autoshow, with sales starting mid-2018, but I haven't seen anything on the HDs. Anyone know if there will be any changes for the 2500 and 3500?
Came across this vid on Youtube today with them interviewing Dave Harriton of AEV and discussing the AEV Brute in detail and how it was designed. I think it might give some hints on what to expect with the upcoming JT:
Really cool to see the details of everything.
Came across this on Autoblog today: http://www.autoblog.com/2017/07/25/2018-jeep-wrangler-hood-spy-shots/#slide-6820992
"One of our spy photographers caught some FCA employees poking around under the hood of a 2018 Jeep Wrangler prototype. They had the hood open wide, and because of that, we...

Even with the camo on it looks nice.
Also Im sure this is to give the new Colorado Zr2 a run for its money.
The blogs are finally starting to test the Chevy Colorado ZR2:

Looks like solid compition for the JT
Some teasers for Easter Jeep Safari 2017 have been released:

I wonder if these are hinting at any future JL stuff.

Came across this on jalopnik when they where talking about the upcoming Dodge Demon ...
But I sure hope the new Wrangler and Wrangler pickup come with something similar as the old uconnect leaves a lot to be desired.
Curious to what color everyone would order their new Wrangler in?
I really would like an Army/British/Filson Green like this:
Most of my cars have always been white, sliver or black so would like a color this time around.
