Renderings: New Jeep Wrangler JLU Brought to Life

[orey22]

I wonder if the plastic black fenders are gone, and they'll all be painted now. Hopefully the black hard-top will still be available though.

The DRL in fenders is actually a legit concern. They look nice but going to need rewiring just to change out fenders (which im sure most aftermarket ones will retain the feature). Removing the fenders completely of course is going to be more an issue so I'm thinking they probably found some good way to do this. We'll see. Pretty minor complaint and I don't think it turns it into a "mall crawler" lol I don't know where people get these ideas from. It looks like the same old Jeep to me and that's a good thing.

The spy shot above answers your question regarding the top, as you can see, it's black on top where there's no camo. Fenders will more than likely be available either way too.

Any ideas or speculation on the new dash layout?

Lots of changes. For example, the 4 round air vents now line up left to right, with the center ones being on each side of the radio (instead of below the radio).

I haven't heard much talk or seen spy shots of a 2-door.. It will still exist right?

Never mind.. found it in another post!

That closed fender makes it look like one of the other Jeep models IMO.

But the Jeep below can't be mistaken for anything but a Wrangler. And with the gap between fender and bumper getting even larger it looks even more aggressive than ever. Love everything about how this thing looks so far and hope the JT carries the design forward even more.

Please explain how that looks aggressive ?

Are those Halo style LEDs wishful thinking or has that been confirmed? I know LED headlights are confirmed but did not know about the Halo styling.

HALO / Corona rings around headlight would be super crucial to making this extra distinctive

I hope this rendering is indicative of what the "quick remove" door option looks like !

One piece removal per side !

These are incredible renders and look realy accurate. I know its a small touch but really like they moved the Jeep logo to the quarter panel. Halo headlight rings is another nice small touch. And you'll be able to recognize this new generation just by its halo lights.

What do you mean by one piece removal per side?

Well you already had to deal with wiring from the side markers on existing JK, the only difference is the number of wires. If you did the marker/turn-signal mod you know the wires for that, they just need to add 1 more wire (but likely 2 for cleanliness) to add a DRL component separtely, or if you treat the DRL=Marker, then add the same wire(s) to finally make the turn signal more visible from the sides (even before the ones on the mirrors).
The mirrors already have wires in them for heat and adjust, so again likely just 1 or 2 more wires in the loom, the only additionwould be an led behind amber plastic which may be more fragile than the solid enclosures, but likely less so than the actual glass mirror, and likely much cheaper to replace should people be that clumsy.

I like them both, and as someone who both does the signal mod, and removes his doors in summer it's a trade-off I'm happy to do to help people better understand my intentions on the tarmac, where I'm more concerned about others driving around in a comma.

Hopefully the amber lense in the mirror are recessed enough to not be affected by branches etc on the trails, if they are easily imapcted on the trails that could get costly and end up being a quick following MY redesign.

Imagine if the fender air vent/duct doubles as a release/handle for the removable doors ...

Sorry but that makes no sense. The hinges are what keep the doors on and there's still two of them per door. I'm not sure I'd want to drive around with some "quick release" button or handle mechanism that unlatches your doors in an instant. Imagine if it malfunctions or is inadvertently engaged while driving.

Yes, halo rings have been seen on already. See latest -- http://www.jlwranglerforums.com/for...gler-rubicon-and-sahara-jlu-roof-exposed.698/

Here's a look:

Thanks. I didn't notice them here.
