Updates: Diesel, JT, Bikini

[COSJL]

Man, you aren’t kidding. It’s like putting 15” wheels on an old Caprice station wagon!

I spotted a JT- Sport version in silver/gray on I 70 last week and I have to agree, they need to put bigger tires on the non Rubi versions of the truck as well. Otherwise with the long wheelbase it looks too flat/low to me. But then again looks are subjective and this is just one person's opinion.

I'd buy one in a heartbeat if they brought back the original khaki metallic from the yjs. Not the light khaki metallic from more recent years the original from early 90s.

It'll be interesting to see what other colors come out later! I had the light khaki TJ.

I had one of those, 90 Sahara.

Could be worse, could have the 26” wheels that came on my JK when I ordered it hahaha. Looked like it was just a body floating down the road stock

I agree with you. But I found this picture online. So technically it's already out there.

Hi JLEngineLine, any release or new testing news on the 3.0 EcoDiesel? In your professional opinion, any chance it will be released in the ordering system under code “26” before the summer? Starting to grow impatient waiting for the order guides every month and seeing no new options being offered. Have you heard of any new JLU special editions on the horizon? Wish the MOAB was available with a 2.0 turbo!

I'm liking it. Bikini, black top, painted fenders, aluminum old school slotted wheels and OWL tires.

I took the Bikini plunge today. Mojito was the only other color we considered. 8 weeks: JLUS, 2.0 Turbo, Premium Top, Selec-Trac, Cold Weather, LED...We are spending our kids' inheritance and are psyched!

You ordered a bikini JL? It’s still not showing on the Jeep website.

Any news on the hybrid?

Yeah, I got a call from Fitzpatrick's in Ansonia, CT yesterday and jumped. Apparently, the color became available for order February 6th and we got it done today. The factory photos online are amazing and love the way the paint color shifts in different light conditions. We've been waiting over a year and got a great deal.

I heard late 2020, but who knows? Not really interested, but I bet the torque numbers will be solid.

The Chicago Auto Show has a few Gladiators on display. A GOLBY colored Gladiator Rubicon and a Silver Overland model which looked more luxury. There was also a red one on a turn table. Sales people said Golby is definitely going to be available for the pick up. I am hoping they add Golby to the JL color option.

 

[Kangarhew]

Awesome!! Please post pictures when you get it. I’m ordering in may, and I’m still torn between punk’n and bikini. I think I’ll have to see one in the wild first, or order both.

They are building a few, but they are pilots only.... They are using the 2.0l engine...
