What JK mods will still fit the JL?

[Covfefe]

I hope a list gets released soon so I can order everything in advance such as grills, bumpers and sliders.
I know light bar brackets will be different due to the new windshield rake, but that's all I can think of that's obvious.

Im just ready for the 1st JL front bumper I see for sale. I will stick it on my JK till the Scrambler is delivered.

If the grille has a bend and no turn signals then JK grilles won't fit. Front bumpers maybe. Longer wheelbase may mean rockers and steps might not fit depending on where the mounting points are located on the JL. Rear bumpers may have to be adapted to the lower spare tire if they still fit. Flat fenders or tube fenders will have to be redesigned. I don't see a whole lot of JK to JL compatibility.

Wider axles will mean different backspacing for rims ? Has the bolt pattern been confirmed to be same as JK, 5 on 5 ?

Hopefully the steel bumpers will come down in price if they are common on the Rubicons. Right now those bumpers are more expensive then AEV bumpers.

Cargo, bike carriers and trailers...heh. Besides accessories like exterior light bars (brackets like you mentioned may need to change) I don't think anything replacing parts on the JK will transfer to the JL.

I would wait...I know...its bad enough to wait for the JL but you need everything on day one? Well I suppose some do...lol

Interesting question on the JL bolt pattern. I'd be surprised if it changes even with the new axles, etc. Best guess it will remain the same but def dont buy wheels before knowing for sure.

I actually liked the simple 5 spoke silver wheels on the Sport models. Easy to clean and mud/dirt didn't get crammed into little crevices/fake bolts etc.

Are you still looking for a JL bumper? I have one in black. I just put a new front bumper on.
