I spotted a 2018 JLU Wrangler Rubicon in Red on the Ohio Turnpike eastbound, near Toledo at about 4:10 PM today. I tried to take some photos while driving 75 mph. These 5 photos were the best I could do while driving.

I was hoping the driver would stop at a Turnpike rest area and I would have stopped also to take some better photos, but we passed 3 rest areas and he did not stop. After that, I exited the Turnpike.

See attached photos.

Great spotting. I was on the Ohio Turnpike today. Its funny I told the family to keep an eye out for JL's lol. No such luck.

We did however spot a Snowy Owl perched on a guard rail near the Sandusky / Norwalk toll booth.

No, the black one ahead was a JKU

Body colour spare tire mount?
Yes. There were no cheap, black plastic covers on the spare tire hinge assembly, like on the current JK/JKU

I'm not a fan of that yellow border around the tail lights but I do like that red!
Personally I love how the LED outline looks. Makes the tail lights look even more 3D.

Wait, what? That's an LED light? Can it be turned off or disabled?
Probably not if it's part of the parking light system.

LED lighting group appears to be an option anyway. Not sure if LED tail lights are standard or part of the LED lighting group. Many vehicles are now including standard LED tail lights even with standard Halogen headlights.

I see a Blind spot system on this one. Notice the yellow light in the upper left mirror in the one pic. I bet that is what the black box on the tail light is.

Hopefully all those sensors are options I don't have to pay for. I like checking my surroundings the old fashioned way - by looking. The less the iRobot tries to drive my truck for me the better.
