You can't just say a color without giving an example...

Nawh... I still preferred the olive drab bikini above...
While I can appreciate the colors, I can’t help but agree, OD green, all day, every day.

Close your border and quit allowing the Yankees to come down there and it will get better. They don't know how to drive when there's not any snow on the ground.
Yeah. Those Winnebagos are a bitch. Why I avoid Aventura come dead of winter.

What’s stopping you from putting 35s on/why do you need the factory to do that?

One of the most basic/standard things to upgrade to is bigger tires. If the tires were factory, you wouldn’t get to pick them out.
I had a feeling the 2019 would have ACC auto high beams and all the jazzy features, after dropping 12000 on my 2017 to replace it with a 2018 9 months later and knowing I’ll grab a 19 if it has the whizbangs I just didn’t want to invest and lose :P what I dropped in extra LD would have paid the trade in on the new Jeep...... plus the 33”s work fine

On most cars, its easier to put it behind the rear view mirror which would eliminate that issue. Obviously if you're going to have a fold down windshield, that's probably not going to fly unless they can find a way to incorporate it where it would disable with the front windshield down. I would imagine you SHOULDNT need those two features simultaneously.
Usually that's where the camera mount is, but FCA cars also have that black glass eyeball thing, usually low down. (you can see it easily on grand cherokees and cherokees that have it equipped) It's the radar that's used for ACC. The camera behind the windshield is for lane-keeping assist... Unless it's more like Subaru's "eyesight" system that has the dual camera's behind the windshield for a stereoscopic 3d assessment of object distances. But that would be a departure from current technology.

It would be great, because it would mean that the bumper has no impact on the ACC or lane-keeping. Wouldn't be surprised to see the wrangler be the first to make use of some FCA next-gen technology for this, and to see the other vehicles adopt it. The camera method has much greater potential than the radar method, in terms of identifying objects. The radar would not stop for stationary objects and is more easily confused than a camera based system.

From useful topic, to ACC heated debate, to a bunch of cranky old bastards trying to relive the good old days while “trying” to stay PC.
Consider this thread Waaaaaaaayyyy off the tracks!

In more relevant and potentially informative news-
Milous who some may know over at the J Garage forums has posted the changes for 2019 WK2 (last year of current design btw) but also included a nugget on new colors- Sting-gray, a basic Green, and a Slate Blue.....could this Blue be the rumored “Bikini”? (I’ll still hold out for Catherine Bell in OD green)

If we get a slate blue that’s similar to the cavalry blue on the TRD pros it would be enough to make me wait for the 19.

Feel free to buy yourself an electric golf cart. Many of us prefer to keep high voltages *away* from water...
