JK front bumper fits on the JL.
That opens up more options while waiting on a specific JL bumper to be built.

Wow! Is it a direct bolt up? If it is then it is a game changer for people wanting to upgrade their JL bumpers.

Back bumper will not fit, not even close. Rear frame is different.

You're awesome for this! I hate myself for thinking it looks really good, but it does lol. But this is definitely good news. The bolt pattern for the wheels is still 5x5 (5x127) like the JK, correct?

Bolt pattern is the same as JK, BUT the lugs are now M14x1.50.
The JK lugs were SAE 1/2x20 .
JK wheels fit fine.

I ordered a JK winch bumper today!

Nice to know if you've already invested in a nice bumper/winch set up and aftermarket wheels+tires, it can be installed onto your new Jeep. Especially if you no loner have your stock JK parts, just do a swap and you're good to good :rock:

Exactly, but stupid me sold my JK Rubicon with everything aftermarket on it because I did not think any of it would work.

Oh man. Well they say everything happens for a reason. Maybe it was meant to be, so you could try out a new style of aftermarket parts for your new Jeep.

Can you check if fender location/height is the same? (for full width flush w/ fender bumpers)

It would depend if it is a Rubicon or not. Obviously the Rubicon would be much higher but it almost looks like the other fenders are the same based on the picture and my poor memory.
