See Self Close Doors, Turn Signals and Headroom on 2018 Jeep JL Sahara at DFW Auto Show

The 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL has made its first appearance following its LA Auto Show world debut last week.  It’s now on display in Sahara trim (in Firecracker Red color) at the DFW Auto Show in Dallas/Fort Worth.  Several JLWF members have seen this JL Wrangler in person and shared these photos, videos and impressions with us.

In this video we’ve posted, you can see the front and rear turn signals in action as well as the self closing doors.  The self close doors aren’t automated or motorized but the new “high energy” metal door check strap hinges were engineered so that the doors will swing closed by themselves once past the half-way door check point. Both the front and rear doors close in this manner.

The photos also show headroom space for taller owners.  A JLWF member who is 6’5″ in height demonstrates how much space there is in the driver’s seat.
