Because it’s not the off-roading model, it’s the creature comfort model that looks the part, whereas the Rubicon acts the part with the true steel bumper.

Of course there will be options for the Sahara, like the Winter editions’ cumper allowing for winches, but those will be the exception, not the rule.

Spare wheel cover with a peek-a-boo opening for the rear camera?
Yep, there’s a few others including the Chick on the Beach at Sunset.

Still on the fence as to how practicle this will be.

I hate that dust collects in the current standard one, and think this will increase this issue, but might give it a place first for air & dust to flow too, or a place to access via pressure wash.... but...

I still think, I’m gonna keep the old cover, and relocate the camera to the centre of the bumper.

The other cover...

I am hoping that the grill in the background is a true Mopar accessory for the JL. :fingerscrossed:
Yea I was wondering what that was too. It looks like a JL grill with the turn signals in the grill. @VegasGT .... can you comment on what this is?

That's redundant, it's a WRANGLER. The Sahara is suppose to be the more luxurious trim of the WRANGLER.

And the Rubicon is the more capable version of the W-R-A-N-G-L-E-R , therefore it gets more rugged and off-road focused stuff, like the HD transfer case, off-road tyres, better bumpers, etc.

By now you should be able to figure this out, there’s been 15 years of Rubicon examples to help guide you. :movember:

although manufacturers have a head start aftermarket upgrades will come quickly due to jeep popularity, + they WILL be better built for less $$$$!!!
