The Sahara wheels look hideous & cheap. They should have stuck to GLOSS black since Sahara is suppose to be the fancy mall crawler trim.

I'm assuming that these are leaked/planted/insider pics. Who would snap these (same old) photos of yet another camo-mule exterior from literally a few feet away and not photograph the hell out of the interior? The damn thing is parked, unoccupied, and no one in sight! Really??? We're not stupid. Guess at this point, so close to the mystery SEMA/LA Auto Show/whatever reveal I'll just remain patient!

Hold on, let me go sneak into the plant.

Not an insider. Can confirm. Lol

Uh, let’s see.. the obviously fake “metal” bright silver plastic trim in the bumper, the poorly designed wheels or maybe the running boards that look like plastic that was stepped on one too many times because they bow in the middle

The rubicon rear bumper is wider.

The flares are wider.

The flares are wider.

Good catch. As soon as I see the wider axle option along with the high fenders, I will be placing my order.

I think that option is called the Rubicon.

Is it just the angle of this photo, or width-wise do the front fenders stick out from the body, more than the rear fenders? And would that also mean the front axle width is wider than the rear axle width?

The rubicon rear bumper is wider.

Looks the same to me. Different angle - the rear flare part is what you have arrows to. You can see it in the non-arrow picture too.

Scaling off the licence plate - the box area in the bumper face looks exactly the same. Eh?

I assumed the wide axles were an optional upgrade.

Looking further back in the forum I see it is standard. Glad I don't have to pay extra for it.

You are correct. I am referring to the rear flares. I assumed it is part of the rear bumper and that is why I said the "bumper" is wider.

Yes, bumper face is the same but the "rear flares" are wider to accommodate the wider fender flares that Billy pointed out to me. Something I hadn't noticed before.
