To be honest, I think that since this is a truly new vehicle, it's taking time to finish the last details of the design. Making rolling prototypes is MUCH easier than getting the comprehensive design ready for production. Also, the mules we are seeing, if the program is run properly, really equate to real changes in the design. So our Jeep engineers are busting their asses right now to upgrade the squawks from mule testing, the sub-contractors have to adapt, and the assembly line procedures are in change review protocol as well. Let's hope they learn from the problems they're having with the JL, and do the stuff they need to do to bring this bad boy home to me, done right. And FFS please offer the 3.0 right out of the gate!
Thats probably part of it, but I mean that JK mule is still running around and then we have seen some production sport and rubicon mules running around too. It just is weird how this is roling along compared to the JL. The JL went JK mules to trash bag mules to production trash bag mules to sticker camo, to mostly exposed body with sticker camo on select areas, to reveal.

That process makes me think there is no way a SEMA reveal in two weeks and even less likely a full reveal at LA Auto show in a month. Its looking like Detroit might even be questionable.

Well, for one, it was all hands on deck for the JL, where now it's split between unfucking the JL and pre-unfucking the JT.

I think it's still slightly possible the JT gets unveiled at LA, but I'm betting on Detroit or a stand alone event between LA & Detroit.

You think it's LESS likely that they can do a reveal in 6 weeks than they can in 2 weeks?

I have no expectations that Jeep will have anything to talk about at SEMA, still holding onto the LA Show but even Detroit will be ok if they still have them available to order in early 2019.

Qudratec snapped these photos. Wow that overhang looks long on these photos. I wonder if it's an extra long bed option. You can see the rear bumper tow hooks too.

Nope, standard bed length. Just need to lift it.

These are definitely new JTs, indicated by the split rear window for one clue.

I think neither. The Sahara should have full running boards, where the Rubi would sit slightly higher and have rock rails.

It's possible it could be a (gasp) 2WD variant.
