JL vs JK Wrangler comparison parked side by side

No straight on view unfortunately but you can see how much more raked the JL windshield is and how the grilles compare. The JL is an Overland Sahara model with that leather stitched dash trim and tan seats.

How the grills compare? Not really, that JK has had a tumour added to it.

And still stupid that they have light coloured seats and yet a scorching black arm-rest.

I thought Overland models, being Euro exports, would have the Euro style bumper that connects the two ends to the front fender lips.

This looks to be the actual Sahara interior then

Trying hard, but not digging the beige leather. It looks just like my mom’s Saturn from the late 90s. They need to look at King Ranch Ford seats for inspiration on that. (Don’t look at anything else though!)

LOL. It's all about volume and cost cutting. If all the interior plastic pieces are the same color they don't have to worry about spec'ing different plastic pieces for different Jeeps. It'll make it easier to source plastic pieces from junkyards in the future too, since they'll all be the same. So you can get any color for the interior plastic of your Wrangler, as long as it's black .

I'm thinking he was going for more Henry Ford and less Dominic Toretto.

Plus, the Overland spec sheet lists "delete tow hooks", but this one still has them.

We've seen that before.

Why isn't FCA testing the Sport? Not everyone wants a Rubi or Sahara!

If one was offered to drive, for free, any new Wrangler they wanted, I don't know how many would pick a Sport.

Though, I could sympathize with the Sport, being the last to be picked in gym class.

Right. They need to be testing those new M186 front axles on the Sport.
