I've had this JLUR since mid-January, and I finally took it into the dealer about a month ago. The problem is when hitting around 63mph and until around 67mph, there is a noticeable thrumming noise. Thrum.. thrum.. thrum. You can feel it through the steering wheel and hear it, if you have the top up and windows closed.
The dealer (Reedman-Toll in Langhorne, PA) kept it for a few days to do diagnostics. They said they put other wheels from a Sahara on the lot on, and it was still there. They re-balanced, and they said it was slightly less loud. (I think so, too, but still noticeable.) They also said that every other JL on the lot makes a similar noise, just that mine is louder.
They claim this is just how the JLs are. Seems wrong to me. I posted on another JL forum, and nobody said that they had heard it. Maybe @JeepCares has some thoughts on this? Is it a JLUR design flaw, perhaps?
It's a minor annoyance, but seems like it should be looked into.
