I had a JL Rubicon I sold to build a JT. Just inquiring if bumpers from a JL would fit a JT? What other parts are interchangeable?

Will rubicon sliders from a JLU bolt on to a JT?

But to answer your question, yes. They will bolt on but too short.

Unlikely. Only window on JT hardtop is the rear window. I believe the JLU hard top has side windows and rear window opens like a lift gate.

Hardtops are very different. As mentioned, the JL has side windows, the JT is just the top and back. The freedom panels should work though. Which, as mentioned, from front door forward should work.

I wonder though...
Since the JL and JT share so much, including the freedom panels and doors, if you could use a JT top as the basis of a pickup conversion to a JLU? Something like this?

I'm guessing you would probably also need to swap the JLU sport bar for the JT's as well. And of course fab a bulkhead behind the seat.

The "bed rail" on the JT is higher then the JL. I notice it all the time with them sitting side by side in the garage. Essentially you'd come up short on the rear wall.
