Rubicon, Sahara, Sport and Overland JL Wranglers Spotted in Multiple Colors

The four door soft top looks like poop. Soft windows don’t align with glass windows.

Completely agree. They completely botched the rear portion of the soft top. I noticed the same issue of the window alignment in the red JLU they've been showing off in New Zealand. So frustrating. I only wanted a soft top and there's no way I'll buy one looking that poorly designed.

The soft top window aligns much better on the black 2 door above so maybe this is pre-production on the 4 door.

Possibly, but it seems unlikely. The same problem exists in the red JLU they've been showing off to journalists in New Zealand. You'd think if they saw this as a defect that will be resolved with production, they wouldn't show it off. The 2 door soft tops all look great though

I agree the humps on top of the JLU soft top look like crap. The rear windows don't even come close to lining up. The 2 door looks better but I love the hardtop. I guess Bestop can make millions if they come out with a better version.

I really dislike that highline fender thing they have going on up front. Actually I take that back, I really dislike that they did a highline up front but did nothing in the rear. It looks like crap that they only did half the job. For those who wanted the Redneck DIY look direct from the factory they can order the Rubicon.

I'm having turmoil over that as well.

Doesn't look like 35s will fit with the Sahara/Overlands

They will fit, just don't hit any speedbumps or turn too hard...

That would’ve required separate body & interior panels, that also would’ve greatly weakened the already thin points, the front doesn’t have those limitations.

Of course you can do it yourself afterwards, and only need to do that half, should be as simple as you make it seem.

Can’t please everyone.

To be fair, the flares for the Rubicon are indeed wider both front and rear. Still want the high lines, and will not pass judgement until I see them in person. Still; turmoil...

Not sure I completely agree with that. Mopar already sells a high line fender set for the JK that includes rears. No reason seen why they couldn't have rears for the JL. Maybe there is an unseen reason but...

Sure if for purely cosmetic reasons, but still gonna look odd when the body ends far below the fenders.

And again, should be easy to fix oneself then.

Do you think the black 2 door has a lift. The front is riding a bit high without the bumper. And there seems to be a lot more room between the wheels and flares compared to pics of the 4 door rubicons. It also looks like the front shocks are silver like Fox shocks.

So I don't understand this.

I am really interested in which bumper we are going to get in the UK. I have the 'park bench' bumper on my JK Overland, the same as the Billit Silver export model shown. But this one has the Euro style back bumper and the US style front Bumper. Is the US style bumper going to be an option in the UK?

 

[Jeepsterfreak]

Based on what has been posted so far for JLU LED package is an option on Rubicon and Sahara and not available on Sport.

On JKU it is standard on Rubicon and Sahara and option on Sport.

If this is true for JL/U, then it seems Jeep is taking a step backwards although LED doesn't automatically mean better than Halogen. It depends on the design.

I think the issue is that export does not necessarily have to mean EU spec. Unfortunately in Europe we are most likely getting the ugly EU spec front bumper due to safety regulations, it has always been the case up until now. Other export markets (Middle East, Russia, etc...) might get this version which you mention.
