Good example and like mentioned above, they have to modify it from the existing body/frame and doesn't make sense to have a crazy long wheelbase. I'm just glad they went with a usable bed. To me it looks even slightly bigger than the AEV Brute bed, but it could just be the extra padding and...

That's FCA's fault not the aftermarket. I'd certainly rather have a solution I can pay for than nothing at all. Now that is truly being forced to deal with it. If you want to point the finger you should start with the government regulations. I believe someone also suggested the default to ON may...

Agreed it should definitely decrease NVH but I think the question most of us who go wheeling and love the total open air feel is at what cost? Daily driving will be more pleasant but I wonder what motivated the decision to go with a solid roof structure. It's not like people aren't buying...

There's good reasons that the Wrangler doesn't have higher tow rating. You can't really have both great off road ability and high towing capacity. You need a flexible compliant suspension for off roading but a stiffer fixed suspension for high weight towing. Also, the Wrangler tow rating has...

Good on Jeep to upgrade the JK even in its final year. It'll make deciding between the JK and JL even more difficult as there's sure to be some good deals on the outgoing model.

The JL seems to have a longer hood (?).. And the JLU with 4 doors could make a big enough difference to give it the extra MPG they are after.

Yup! Modern day YJ would be awesome. Liking what I am seeing so far. They could have moved the badge from the grille to the edge of the hood like on other Jeeps? Like the Renegade etc. Just a guess.

Just a regular Unlimited Rubicon with the rear roof removed

With the Wrangler or any shorter wheelbase vehicle there is such a thing as too much power. But you can never have too much torque. Now im not saying it wouldn't be fun to take on the Raptor but a lot more will have to be done than shoving a V8 engine in it. Otherwise an I-6 diesel would be a...

There's still probably 1.5-2 years before anyone can buy a JL so I doubt anyone is holding off just yet. Plus so little is known about it while the JK is a sure thing. Me I'm still enjoying my TJ and in no rush. In a few years time I'll be ready to upgrade.

It's a well known fact that altho most people say they bought a Wrangler for its complete open air feel very few who buy it actually remove the roof and use it for that purpose with any frequency if at all. Perception is reality so if Wrangler owners protest enough FCA will take notice but I...

Maybe I should have been more clear. There is an exemption for all vehicles classified as convertibles (officially that means vehicles whose A pillars are not joined with the B pillars or rearmost pillars). They are exempt from the stricter requirements of FMVSS No. 216 (Roof Crush Resistance)...

I see a lot of banter about the JL moving away from a fully removable roof and very few discussing the REAL reason behind such a potential change. It's not about costs, design challenges or any of that, at least not in any majorly impactful way to cause such a big shift in Wrangler design. This...
