Additionally a little tidbit of insight from Jalopnik’s David Tracy who was a design engineer during the JL development, when he talks about the CV joints;
But I learned that those only come on Wrangler Saharas equipped with the optional full-time transfer case (which exists, in part, to pass a stringent Euro NCAP brake test that a part-time system would struggle with).

Interesting, did not know about that.
Sadly, none of these new reviews seem to actually test braking.
