Sat in a JL Sport!

[DanW]

Sat in the first JLU in Indy! It was great! Here are some quick impressions and things I notices:

I'm 6'5" tall, with long legs. (Don't get excited.) I was comfortable, with plenty of headroom and just enough leg room.

The rear storage bin has a drain hole! My older jk does not. I like this feature.

The rear window defroster zigzags under the wiper blade to keep it from icing up. Nice.

The small middle back seat headrest adjusts way up for even a tall middle passenger.

The engine air intake is walled off and acts like a cold air intake.

I'll post more if I get time.

Cool. Was this a Sport or Sport S?

 

[DanW]

Sport, according to the sticker.

Good to hear about fitting. I'm 6'4" with long legs, and was a little concerned about fitment

The rear storage bin has a drain hole!

That is a welcome development, I was contemplating adding one myself.

Thanks for sharing. What did you think of the standard cloth seats in the Sport? Also the Sport comes I think with manual crank windows, did you have a chance to try them out?

It had power windows, so maybe it was an S? The sticker did not say S.

The seats were fine. Very nice and comfortable.

Which Indy dealer is it at?

Champion, northwest side near the pyramids.

I know Kahlo has received a Rubicon, although the search tool doesn't show it, so it's probably a customer order.

 

[DanW]

Yep, Champion. They said a guy was on his way to buy it.

Does the steering wheel tilt and telescope or is that feature only on Sahara and Rubicon?

 

[Jeepsterfreak]

This must be the new one-way drain valve?

The seats look really well done, nice job Jeep!
