So what are the hidden options you get when you upgrade? I.e. Infotainment gets better windshield...

acoustic glass on mine. no alpine and no infotainment! sorry pic is from inside phone wouldn’t focus from outside.

I think they all have Acoustic glass. It's one of the major JL comfort design upgrades like improved windshield angle

I wonder when this takes affect, the build sheet for my JLUR that's in JB status says the following

LT285/70R17C BSW Off-Road Tires

Can you find the Build Sheet online? If so, where?

Or did it come from the dealer?

go to this page in the forum https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...sticker-and-build-sheet-order-tracking.12503/

select track new and enter your info - email VIN ect..
when your jeep hits the line a build sheet will generate and you will get and email with all the info about your build
the same day I got the email was the first I knew my status had changed from D1 - it went right to FB
hopefully will go to KZ soon - my understanding is that when it gets to KZ a window sticker will be generated and you will get another email

Only 2 items of interest that I see:

1) No listing whatsoever for the 3.0L EcoDiesel.

2) Standard tire on the Rubicon is going back to the more narrow 255 width, and a 285 is going to have upcharge, and that 285 is the Falken Wildpeak M/T which is a heavy tire.

Good catch.

Unfortunately acoustic glass is thinner even though it's quieter. A lot of people with broken windshields. I have to wonder if it's due to the thinner glass?

IF, and that's a big if, the selection guide posted above is true, then what they'll likely do is use up their existing supply of 285/70 BFG KO2 tires before switching to the 255/75 version. And then the Falken M/T would become optional at whatever point they allow orders to be taken on that particular option.

No doubt there were a lot of complaints about JL Rubicon going away from mud tires for the first time ever, even though FCA had a very good reason to do so, and that's why this method is the way they're going to handle it. Now everybody can get what they want.

I assume they will honor the builds we selected. I don't want mud tires but if I don't get 285's then they can keep their Jeep.

I wonder if that option is connected to the VIN in case you ever need to have it replaced and replacement also uses acoustic glass over the normal one.

If no one else answered your question, I had mine replaced back in September and I am just now learning that I had acoustic glass at all. I was concerned that I had the replacement done with Insurance people who don't care, and I didn't recall anyone asking if it was acoustic during the process. Well I just checked and to my surprise, it was replaced with the correct acoustic glass. So I have to assume it is tied to the VIN.

Double check with your insurance. I have free glass replacement. However, i think with mine if I want any form that is different then the "replacement" part I have to pay the difference. Although, I would assume that since acoustic glass is OEM that they would have to find the same or equivalent to that which is still free.

I had to replace my windshield about 3 months ago. JLUR, no upgraded sound system, had acoustic glass. I believe all JLs get it - but I know mine had it.

When I went to replace the windshield, I had the option of OEM (acoustic, with the little Jeep in the corner) or non-factory replacement (no little Jeep - and I assume no acoustic)
OEM replacement - $800ish
non-OEM - $450ish

so if you went with a non-OEM replacement glass, which cut your cost in half - I doubt the insurance company would be upset. Maybe on my 4th or 5th broken windshield I'll go with the non-OEM, but for now, I'll stick with direct OEM.

The gave me the same option. "Would you be interested in a cheaper replacement without the Jeep in the corner?" "No." Its the little things that I care about.

If you order the smokers group AND the Katskin leather you get a built in humidor in the center console. It's really nice, lined with black cedar from the jungles of Bali.

 

[Firecracker18]

I believe you are correct - only need someone with a standard base stereo to confirm. Mine has it. Although I do have the 7" stereo. The picture didn't come out good enough to post.

Acoustic glass is on all JLs.

Found another one - Seems the cold weather package includes a block heater.

This was not listed when I selected that option.

If you've got the cold weather package, check under the hood along the driver's side.

@Neanderthalman

Your info is flawed.. YES, during the early production period of the 2018, JL, the JL's with the Cold Weather Package were equipped with an engine block heater.

Unfortunately, after a short period of time, FCA, stopped having the block heater as part of the Cold Weather Package.

For those JL's that have the engine block heater, it's plug in cord can be found tucked away in the engine compartment, on the drivers side.
