If memory serves me correctly we started seeing the late availability colors for the JL's around March/April time frame. I believe the more sought after colors like Mojito! and Sting-Gray were around late April. Time will tell with the roll out of the Gladiator whether or not those late...
You and me both my friend! I think the wait for the pricing is going to be worse than the wait for the reveal. Now we know the details but affordability is still the biggest unknown for a lot of us.
Depending on what the shield looks like you could probably flip it to the outside of the frame rail rather easily with some light modification. Looking forward to seeing what needs to be done to stuff a 37 under there, especially the smaller sized ones. Now whether it is practical to do so or...
My apologies, I am referring to the JL Rubicon not the JT Rubicon. Attached is an image from the JL spec sheet with the three columns (from left to right) Sport, Sahara, Rubicon. I have not seen that terminology used elsewhere so my assumption remains that it will be a Rubicon width flare with a...
I would agree to the zip in interior mesh panels. I could see it as a sort of modular system that could be zipped in place when the windows are removed by using the same zippers, or even to keep them in place all the time similar to a tent where the outer windows are removed or rolled up. Would...
I think a big part of why it looks so long is the rear door being smaller than the front as a carry over from the JL. Generally a quad cab read door is quite large and extends well to the rear of the cab but that wouldn't work on a convertible Jeep for numerous reasons. But that is just an...
Eternus, the mold-in-color two piece flares are black not colored like the name would imply. Seems a bit odd but that is what is on the base Rubicon spec sheet and the only place I could find that terminology used. My guess is they are Rubicon width with the standard height to provide adequate...
Completely agree with the Sport S/Rubicon observation. Once I saw the Sport S can be had with the max tow package and it has a lot of the features I want I am less certain I will be buying a Rubicon. It really depends how I see myself using it to justify the extra spend. Being as the max tow...
Maybe throwback lingo but I thought it was interesting as well. I would have certainly been celebrating before the reveal of a multiyear project. Jeep sponsored bender? I'm in!
As much as I would love to have the extra power I know for certain I cannot wait another year. And to think I thought I was impatient before the reveal...
Retrofit kit would be something special that's for sure. I grabbed a screen shot from the video and one for the JLU. Basically the same layout and design (if not identical). Its surreal even posting an image of a soft topped Jeep pickup.
Homerun, well said. That is what I had observed as well and I can certainly see an aftermarket replacement being a reality that affords us the ability to fully retract the top. The sunrider open position looks identical to that of the JLU so at least there is open air for the rear passengers (if...
Great explanation and it makes sense once it was elaborated on. I did see in the captured build & price images posted by Mopar Insiders (here) that there are several decal packages and a "body-side retro graphic" going to be offered. Very cool!
