JL Rubicon on order
Jabs, thanks for sharing!

I really like how the new JL looks with the more level hood and aggressive grill. The styling team did a great job.

Just like the pic, I will be going from a white hard rock rubicon to the granite JL so this is nice have this comparison to look at during the long wait to get a 2 door. (I think this is a granite JL?)

No bolts around the JL windshield - does this mean it will actually be easier to fold down than the JK? I would drop mine more if it wasn't such a pain to do.

Only one rear tow hook on JL?
That’s currently the case on JK too.
(edit, oops didn’t notice that the HR had 2! my JKUR and A-X just had/have the 1)

You can always add them if you want, or add a D-ring to the trailer hitch.

Nope. Looks like it's still more of a hassle than its worth though.
Actually, it is not at all, 5 minutes, 6 bolts, 8 if you want to remove the windshield altogether. Take the time to watch the video.

I was hoping for something that was no bolts. Turn a lever, pull a pin or a latch, something like that. Like lowering a soft top. Wishful thinking I guess.

They've made it a lot easier to drop so I think we will see tons of people dropping them now.

Well I guess you could leave two of the bolts out and replace the other two with wing nuts.

Edit: maybe someone can make some quick disconnects for the windshield wipers too

Maybe they'll make a power windshield fold for the "JM" 2028 model year. :)

Is there a convenient place to stow the wipers when you've taken them off?
