That front bumper is ridiculous ... it sticks out even more than on the JK. That is pedestrian safety right?..

Philippe (Phcn), did you notice the first picture of the blue JL has a raised suspension?
Good to see MOPAR will offer the snorkel here too.
And the fenders seem to hace like an extra lip for tire coverage?..

I hope to see all MOPAR parts in Europe...

Can you take a look at part connecting bumper to fender ? If it is one piece of plastic connected to bumber or can be unscrewed. Thanks.

See this thread https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/removed-my-jl-sport-euro-bumper-pieces.3000/ . It seems those parts are removable.

I don't get the Overland trim for the Sahara. It looks like the Overland is basically the US version of the Sahara.
What is the normal Sahara lacking?

I don't think that these are necessarily the same

Well I hope they are and that I will be able to cut them away.

On Sahara the only difference seem to be the presence of the air vents, isn't it?

The design is totally different, not only the air vents, but that central « bump » is not on the North America version. Looks good though, even though I went with the Sahara over Rubicon partly because where I live (Canada)I’m not too sure about wanting some ice build/snow in these vents...

 

[drogers]

Wow, I'm kinda shocked that there's no MT in Europe after listening to European friends lecture me about how 'yanks can't properly drive cars because they're all ATs... ;-)

So, it looks like the EU Rubicon gets a Selec-trac with 4.00:1, 4 high auto (full 4x4), with Dana 44 (Sahara version, not wide US Rubicon version) and limited slip + lockers front and rear + swaybar disconnect.
That’s what they will call the Rock-Trac package over here.

To be honest, unless you are 90% rock crawler wanting 37”+ tires, this is a bit of both best worlds as a platform to build on!

 

[sdcrd]

Yes I think we can now confirm that the EU Rubicon somehow has Selec-Trac along with Rock-Trac, there has been some debate whether this is possible. The picture below also confirms it, look at the shifter.

Yeah, I really like the european Hood. Thanks for that Jeep
I guess the vents are coming with the Overland package trim which is available for the Sahara here.
All the Sahara pics showing the Overland.


The Euro CJ style hood reminds me of the Renegade to be honest

North America:

Europe:

Renegade

But I remember where we saw the european hood on the JL before. During the new Zealand test and shoot

The hood looks great, but I think the vents come on all Saharas, even the non Overland models have them.
