"Changes" to 2024+ Wrangler

[Ratbert]

power seats only come with leather seats

And they lack presets, making them pretty damn close to pointless.

The dash grab bar on the passenger side has a different shape on the '24.

I'm glad it does not have the name WRANGLER plastered across it as in previous years. I'm not a fan of visible branding in places like that. That's the reason why I don't want the MOPAR door sill guards. But, then again, the well-known after-factory ones are also visibly branded with names like QUADRATEC or RUGGED RIDGE although the latter is not as obvious.

Wait a minute, no more FAD?
Forgive my ignorance, but is FAD the same as the swaybar disconnect? Meaning, the new Rubi's no longer have push-button sway bar disconnect? Or, not the same thing?

Not the same. FAD is front axle disconnect. It's a fuel saving measure they introduced a while back that basically amounts to peanuts in the long run. The good news is there's no more split axle shaft with an electronic motor to move the locking collar back and forth to engage 4wd. The bad news is they still have an over abundance of old axle housings left so they put the new 1 piece shaft in and sealed the hole with a plate. Not that anyone ever doubted the strength of the axle in this area anyway though...right? I'll see myself out.

The grab handles and their trim caps have changed making 2018-2023 accessories incompatible. We launched our 2024+ doors off mirrors about a week ago.

I really like the textile dash and matching seats on the Sahara. Had been looking at a similar finish from PRP for a while. Would be awesome if the seats were interchangeable with earlier JLs.

I'm also not a fan of logos. As for the sill protectors, I installed these (no logo) and they were just as good as the Rugged Ridge ones I had on a previous jeep.

Ah, thank you. The pictures seem to show the squared corners do not adhere to anything. Well, in fact, it kinda appears like the entire outside edge overhangs the sill. Is that so? Any trouble with the corners or edge getting bumped and lifting or curling up after a time?

Has anyone confirmed it is a 1 piece shaft? Driveline on YouTube just released a video of a pre'24 392 showing a 2 piece shaft with a locking collar that doesn't move on the CV axles.

2024 Changes

• All 4xe comes with the following upgrades standard
  • Cast Iron Knuckles (previously only std on XR, Mojave and Eco-Diesel)
  • FAD (front axle disconnect) Deleted
• Rubicon Only - Rear Full Float axles.
• Front Sway Bar Link bolt size change from M12 to M14 - beefier compared to previous.
• AMPS mounting holes on the dash - one on each side of the speaker/charger-indicator hump
• 12.3" display - with a fantastic panel (full array dimming - brightest whites and deepest blacks)
• Side curtain air bags standard
• Standard safety - FCW, Adaptive cruise etc.
• Rubicon 4xe Only - Power box (its like having 1300W jackery to use when overlanding - if you went to the location on e-save that is)

I just ordered a set of JKS Quicker Sway bar disconnects for my 2024. Given this change in bolt size im wondering if these wont work on the 2024. The website just says 2018+ JL. Maybe ill reach out to them to confirm.

I've only owned this Jeep a few weeks, so I don't have any long-term info like that. A similar set of Rugged Ridge protectors I had on my previous Gladiator and they were fine during my 18 months of ownership. I only put these on to protect the paint from scuffs, so they work for that purpose.

The “Mopar” screen protector don’t work no moar... ?

It's going to be a two piece shaft. That way only a single new part needs to be created (the block off plate with collar locator) rather than two parts (block off plate and one piece axle).

The FAD only exists to improve CAFE & window sticker mileage and if the Willys/Rubicon sub models do not count towards the overall mpg measurement then the FAD will be deleted to save money. Just that the window sticker mpg is the same on a Sport with 3.45 gears and 31" tire as the Rubicon with 4.56 gears and 35" tire and 400 lbs more weight tells me that the mpg is calculated for the base model, thus the FAD delete doesn't harm the mpg calculation.

I noticed the LCA has a different part number on my 2024 Rubicon but the length is still 24".

The 2024 Sport has the FAD still but the part number for the LCA is different than a Rubicons.

YETI XD™ JL/JT SECTOR SHAFT BRACE WITH FRAME SIDE TRACK BAR REINFORCEMENT BRACKET (2018-2023) - ***NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 2024+ MODELS***

Does the Synergy Sector Shaft Brace work with the 2024 JLU?

No note on their site (unlike SteerSmarts, which is now noting the lack of compatibility)

Just found out the Synergy brace doesn't work on the 2024 JL either...
