Yea and probably wouldn't have been too happy for someone to get up super close to try to get shots behind the camoHe had no idea what it was, I mean he knew it was a Jeep, but didn't have any idea that it was the new Wrangler. He said they were pulled over and looked like they were lost.
The front does have more camo than the latest prototypes we've seen which only had a black mesh camo.Is it just me or is there more camo than usual.
Where the flap is, it looks like it's in the spare tire assembly. I'm not sure that's a good thing, and moreover I'd kind of expect it to be lower by a non-moving part like around the license plate or trailer hitch. Maybe I'm not thinking creatively enough, but I kind of doubt it would be in the spare tire assembly.Notice the flap in the camo on the rear. This would signify a back-up camera in my book. I was already assuming the new JL would have this, but it's nice to see some type of confirmation out in the wild.
Yea, maybe it's just me but these highway tires don't really look good at all imho. Also, the plastic looking (I hope they're not actually plastic) side steps don't help much.That's a Sahara, and they always get highway tires. The Rubicon gets more aggressive tires, either the MTR or KO AT tires.
Must have a backup cam by law bt next May. In fact the 2018 JK/JKUs would need them to be selling a single new one off the production line by then.Notice the flap in the camo on the rear.

I've had them in all locations, and the License plate sucks for the Wrangler, it's the easiest after-market add-on usually but because the Wrangler plate is under the right tail-lights you're at an off-angle, which is very bad for backing-up, and has you somewhat more blind to the passenger side.Where the flap is, it looks like it's in the spare tire assembly.

Well, I agree with whoever is the Broncos fan!Must have a backup cam by law bt next May. In fact the 2018 JK/JKUs would need them to be selling a single new one off the production line by then.
There are already photos of the previous mules with the back-up cam visible in the spare tire space.
And the interior spy shots had the park-assist button for the sensors act/de-act.

The Tire mounted location is best for protection from snow banks, or road gunk & debris, but it means your view is up high and top down, so either you compromise how far back you can see or being able to see nearby the bumper where kids and pets tend to hide.
The trailer hitch is the location for my daily driver (so I can align the trailer then remove it and hitch-up), the bumper is the location for the cottage Wrangler, they offer the best view backwards, but does mean it's more vulnerable to damage or coverage by dirt / snow. However you an see the little ones and critters better. And a replacement cam is $10-20 on eBay ($8 if all you want is the cam and not the cable and hole saw, etc)
For some (like my dad) the spare tire location is best, for others, like me the bumper level is better.
I think you're right! Probably because they're in the city with so much exposure.Is it just me or is there more camo than usual.
