It's removable on the JK rubicon, so it would be surprising if it isn't on the JL. It's a metal bumper with torx bolts holding on the ends of the bumper. It leaves you with the "stubby" bumper they show on the rubicon that doesn't cover the tires.

The axles are rated for about 6,000 - but the vehicle only has a 5,000 gvwr. Maybe there is a legal reason to have the GVWR limited to 5,000 when it actually looks like it can carry 6,000.

The JK is supposed to be able to carry a 35" with an adaptor plate, but I have seen them pull off the door, so you probably would want the reinforcement kit with it also.

they did all that but no skid plates?

Not surprising considering they rate the Ram 1500 diesel at 21/29. Notice the huge difference between city and highway. Given my experience with the liberty diesel, the path to 30+ mpg is likely long highway driving with larger than stock tires that you spin in the upper gears of the automatic...

Would need to look at it to see how it drains. I had a friend who had a Commander with a sun roof. The drain got clogged and flooded his dashboard, shorting out all the electronics. It apparently was a common problem...

It may be the brakes It might. It matches the timeline for the diesel JLU, and putting the diesel in the JT would make a lot of sense. They might only want to install that option in one assembly line.

If not, there will be wheel adaptors

My guess on the diesel is that they will only be installing it on the assembly line that is still making the JK's, so it won't be available until they switch that line over to producing JLU's.

Yeah, a super charger is already available for the V6, but it's $5500.

That's exactly where it is in the JK rubicon.

they already make something that should work. it's a mount that goes into the main hitch and splits into two 1" hitches on either side to mount bikes, etc.

I only get it on long highway trips, and there are a few small modifications you can make to it that increase mileage. And I have a 2015 Cummins, so I'm familiar with the modern emission systems. The DEF is annoying...

Two things: You know the EPA numbers are higher than real world driving right? https://www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy/heres-why-real-world-mpg-doesnt-match-epa-ratings.html Second thing, the way my liberty is set up it is very close to a stock wrangler, except that it weighs more and is...

I don't think the diesel JL is getting 35 to 45 mpg. I think the gas one will get about 15 to 16, and the diesel will get 25 or so depending on how it is set up. Those thoughts are based on my real world experience with the Liberty. I can get 30 in the liberty on pure highway driving, but...

As you say, it's going to depend how you use it. The newer diesels are much quieter, so it will be interesting to see. Even the old ones were only louder at idle and much quieter at speed. I high revving gasoline engine is much louder. One thing that is known is that the diesel will require...

Can't tell for sure from the pictures, but the lower spare tire location might interfere with the use of the hitch. On my liberty, they did the same thing and you have to either get an extension or remove the spare tire to use the hitch.

You're going to really love it in 10 years when everything is electric and self driving. :P

And you know they will be selling them in europe with the manual. Though I prefer the automatic, because the manual is exhausting off road.
