JL vs JK Picture

[BDJeep1]

Just a quick side-by-side comparing my JK to the JL.

My JK is a 2015 Rubicon Hardrock with AEV savegre wheels and 33 in. duratracs.

Edit (I have 1" teraflex lift).

Rubicon spelling is backwards as I flipped my pic to match the JL.

Look how much more fender and tire clearance there is on the JL. Will be able to fit much bigger tires

Would you mind putting your windshield down so we can get a more accurate comparison?

....I kid.... Nice Jeep!

Great looking JK! Love the JK enough that I'm not letting mine go. The JL will get space next to the JK, which keeps its place of honor in my garage!

Honestly it is pretty close. General public will not notice the difference.

Biggest difference in that pic is the windshield rake and the side vent.

From other angles, the hood pop, the grille kink, the headlights, fender lights, tail lights, lower spare tire. Also I get the feeling like there’s a move from decals to bump outs or raised lettering.

hard to tell with the tires his rubicon has bigger tires than on the JL How big are you running on the JK?

I think the black trim on the fenders makes the space look bigger

I think part of the reason they look bigger because all black wheels and tire while the JL has the silver ring on the wheel.

From these pictures it looks like on the JL there's greater distance between the rear axle and the back of the bumper, ie worse departure angle. That wouldn't be good. Maybe it's just the angle/tires?

I like both. Not a huge difference between the two.
