not sure if it works differently
Here's a summary of what I understand
What you own is the best by 5%
The best is the R-134a
The newest is R-1234yf
It has to do with the environment as I understood!

is the compressor, condenser, evaporator and everything else the same ? if it is then the gas should be interchangeable.

I do not think to be the same

I think gas is the monopoly of a different cooling gas company
As well as a leak-proof evaporator
A more efficient condenser and a new type of oil.

I’m running 315/70/17 on stock wheels....almost 35” closer to 34.5” . DLR are the side lights on the fender. With the Tazer JL Mini you might mIgnite able to change which lights are used. I doubt the uk headlights have the halo. Previous I had a ‘17 JKUR with VisionX LED lights....these had halo and I had an AEV Procal that used to turn it on.
Two months old, and I’m really pleased with it.

Hi,

There's me riding around in my awesome JLUR for the past 2 months thinking everyone is marveling at the LED halo daytime running lights when I catch sight of the front of the Jeep in a window's reflection this morning and they're not there! :surprised:A quick search on the forum and sure enough it seems it's a European specification.

Anyone know why only the US gets the halo lights around the OEM LED headlights? Is it a Euro legal/safety thing? I have factory LED's and the only DRL's are in the front fenders :(. Jeep are very careful not to show them on their UK website so I guess it's intentional.

I was already cut up about not getting 285/70 tires and high clearance fenders (I got 255/75 and standard fenders as factory fit on the Rubi for some reason), but now I'm really feeling short-changed. I think I should get some extra feature as compensation - other than a steering wheel on the right that is ;)
when u vote democrat which is liberal these are the laws u get

UK spec is Dana M186/M200 for Sahara/Overland or Dana M210/M220 for Rubicon which is same as US?
Nope. The NA variants have very slightly wider front D44 axles. The rest of the world Rubi still has D44, but they are just a tad more narrow. And of course have CV joints rather than u-joints.

While I agree that it sort of sucks not to have the halo lights, I would not agree that the EU wranglers sucks.
Ultimately, I don't drive in front of my Jeep... ever, so I never see the lights. Thus, I don't really gives a pigs fart what other people get to see.
What impacts me and does suck is the complete and total shit tires that they install. The KM2 rather than the KO2 like they get in NA. So, I needed to spend another 1200 bucks on new tires right out of the show room, as the KM2s are completely unsuited to driving on wet German roads for people that value their lives.
And of course, the font bumper is utterly ridiculous looking. I would say it is in the top 5 for worst designed bumpers in the history of the automobile.
I do appreciate the 4-auto though. I think that is a great option to have along with the Rocktrac transfer case.
And the lack of remote start is annoying. Though, that I think has never been allowed here.
We also missed the first year of ACC and auto emergency braking. Though... seeing that HUGE box on the tiny window, I may have skipped it anyhow.

Here's what i know for sure from the build list for my Kuwait-Spec (EU Based / GCC-Spec) JLUR and my friends US-Spec JLUR:

1- US-Spec JLUR gets the Dana M210 Wide Front Axle & Dana M220 Wide Rear Axle.
-GCC/ME = EU-Spec: Dana M210 Front Axle & Dana M220 Rear Axle.

2- GCC/Middle East Spec is based off the EU-Spec which is written on my build sheet.

3- YOU CAN get the Halo Lights BUT you will need US-Spec Headlights Mopar Part Number: (82215136AD) comes with both complete headlights and some wiring, simple install if you know what you're doing.
- The reason why the JLTazer wont work because EU Spec Lights have only three pins in them (US-Spec Got 4 Pins). so it's not electronically shut-off, it's not even wired for the Halos.
- US-Spec JLTazer will turn on/off the halos, it work fine with that.

4- We do not get the Rubicon Higher/wider Front + Rear fenders (they come as a kit of 4) but you can get them from the dealership as upgrades from mopar just like the steel bumper package. i have both the fenders and the steel bumpers on mine. Mopar Skid Plate is sold separately and always out of stock. :headbang:

5- US-Spec Tires: LT285/70R17C OWL Off-Road Tires BfGoodrich KO2
-GCC-Spec Tires: LT255/75R17C Off-Road Tires BFGoodrich KM2
These sizes are both Unlimited Rubicons.


you guys can check your build sheet on the website link below:

Attached a Picture of my JLUR for reference.

Yes, AlMulla dealership, they only charged for the parts because i bought everything with the Jeep.. total was around 1,000KD (2 front fenders + 2 rear fenders painted and installed + front + rear steel bumpers) and i got to keep all the stock parts.
