I could be wrong but I think the Dana 44 name plate is continuing but the actually axle is completely different (even the bolt pattern) so none of the JK Bolt-on products will work on the new JL.

Confirmed it won't vendor let me know as well

Sorry if a dumb question. Does anyone know if the black freedom top from the JL will fit on a JK? Thinking of buying a body color top and would want to sell my black one but if they only fit JLs, I’m thinking I’m going to have a hard time finding a buyer for a while.

do you have link to video or Facebook page? Thank you
I couldn't find "Hauck Off-road" on FB either. How about the hitch wiring? Does the JK wiring/connectors fit the JL?

Do the tubular side steps for JK fit the JL? What Jeep calls “tubular side steps” now look like running boards from a 1970s custom van. Don’t look right on a Jeep IMO. I like the look of the JK tubular side steps.

Perfect description! I've been told JK side steps do NOT fit the JL ... different mounting locations. There are a few available for the JL, but I'm waiting until I have a few more options to choose from. Here are the 2 I've seen...

Edit: Decided to buy the ACE rails.

From extremeterrain build page

"There are a few issues that we do not want the average consumer to have to deal with, this is why we say it does not fit. We already have one specific for the JL in the works that should be here as soon as we can get them (updates to make the install easier). The wiring is not even close as the JL wiring is on the passenger side and that harness is for the driver side. To my knowledge the wires and plugs are different as well."

Jlu!!
I know the doors do not fit, but my question is do the hinges line up the same? I have a door holder on my wall for the JK that holds it by the hinges and Im currently traveling so I haven't had an opportunity to see if they fit on the hinge holder

Anyone know if Quick disconnects for JK sway bars will fit JL? (went with Sport S, so no luxurious electronic disconnect)

Don't know if it's been mentioned but the spider web shade won't be compatible.

I planned to take my 3 piece Hard Top off my JL Unlimited Sahara around May or June for the duration of the summer.

Has anyone tried fitting a JK Bikini Top to a JL ? I am looking for options in case Bestop does not release JL accessories this year.

Search Hauk Offroad. They were previously known as River Raider.
