Well OP you and all early JL buyers will be a greater aftermarket testers for those of us that have to wait for the 2019s! ;) For now slim pickings but the JL aftermarket is growing fast. Looking at the market forums here and simple internet searches show that. Also the price range for JLUR lifts is not bad at all so nearly covers all budgets in that area.

I for one do NOT like the MOPAR snorkel for the JL so looking forward to aftermarket for one and bunch of other stuff in near future.

Seems like the only thing that was compatible between JK and JL Wranglers was front bumpers and wheels. I thought they said there was supposed to be a lot of compatibility during the planning cycle of the JL. But since it's grown larger every generation it's kind of hard to do.

As a first year release I will have to wait for aftermarket parts. I've got lots of plans for modding, but it is very disheartening to search and see all the parts available for JKs, but very little for the JL. I know it will take some time and I need to be patient, but really that is my only complaint for my new ride. And I think my proximity entry thingy self-healed itself over time!
If it makes you feel better, my WJ came out in 2002. It's 16 years later and the aftermarket parts for it are still pretty scarce. The JL won't suffer that same fate haha

I leased and had NO IDEA what I was signing up for...this whole world of Jeep accessories. I've already bought a few and am CONSIDERING buying the vehicle out of the lease just to go nuts with accessories. Current thinking though is keep the Sahara as a lease, let the new model issues get sorted out, save $10-15K of accessories plus the savings of lease vs buying... and in 3 years get a Rubi and do it all and do it right.

We have suspension currently available, we will have bumpers soon (front and rear). Quite a few companies have bumpers, sliders, tire carriers, fenders, etc. What are you looking for that you haven't found available?

Front mud flaps for the Rubicon and a under the seat or equivalent lock box.

Actually, the bumpers are different and not compatible for the Hard Rock, 10a anniversary editions. I had a 2015 Rubicon Hard Rock, took all my accessories off including the winch plate, mopar bumper hoop & dual exhaust and they're not even close to fitting my steel bumpers on my Rubicon JL.

Did anyone find an all weather mat for the trunk/cargo space? All i can find it universal ones that will probably need to be cut. After cutting the front & rears, not looking to go down that path again. We got tailgate season coming up!

I ended up going with the Mopar cargo liner (with the rear seat covers). I've seen a few people post custom/cut "universal" models that they got to work, but the Canvasback and Mopar offerings are the only JL-specific versions I've seen available yet.

Does this work with the rear seats up or only fits when they're down?

The Mopar kit? Works in both positions. No idea about the canvasback, though I assume it's also flexible and functional in both positions.
