I'll check with him via email. Last time we chatted about our 'trucks' (trying to set up a meet when I drive out east next month) he seemed pretty happy with it. Though if people ask me, I never mention the Wrangler's F'in rear drefroster cable that I've had to have repalced 5 times (requires...

It's solid. A co-worker got one after swapping in his old frontier. Like the Tundra refresh of over a decsde ago, it takes Nissan from an outlier to being a contender again. The engine is the great, it is too bad they shelved the next gen 4cyl Cummins that was suppposed to come to Nissan at the...

That also depends on if it's a structural component or a cosmetic one, there's no substantial structural advanatge to that shape. The principle components of the bed themselves will likely be the traditional box and easily dropped into place on the line. However the protruding flare could just...

Yes, and really it somewhat depends on how extensive the changes are for the JT from the JK line. If they keep much of the JK production intact and it's just a slight tweak/refresh as if it were a styling refresh, then having a lot of comminalities with the JK makes sense. The fact that the...

The other thing of note when looking at those two pictures are the differences in wheel placement vs the trailing edge of the door and rear roofline on the JTU. I think the styling of the tucked-in rump looks nice, but it's not a practical use of space, whereas the straight line rear gives you a...

Probably don't need two separate threads on this, so will post in other thread instead.

One problem is the A-pillar and door frame are more likely to get in the way if you move it to the A pillar without either sweeping them back or moving them out. Also the more you move the mirrors forward the more you limit the view immediately behind the vehicle, and the further outwards you...

Unfortunately the length of the bed beyond the rear wheels does still negatively impact departure angles, but that was always gonna be a trade-off and most people want a usable truck-bed.

Great Video of Articulink in Action on a Power Wagon, highlighting components. :jk: Wish there were more of these videos out there for everything because it makes all the text above come alive. :rock:

No, I was using the similarities in the rear setup to imply that the JL might end up with a similar front with Articulink. In the Spy photo thread I was hoping that mention would elicit clearer photos of the front without the JL logo, but looking at other sites that didn't help clarify, just not...

Here's some additional info (I will try to post more tomorrow, today I was watching others ski while nursing my ankle in the bar :beer:). Sorry, I should've posted more this morning but was getting ready to head to the cabin, thought the Allpar link would help. Anywhoo... first, no the...

Articulink info courtesy Allpar; http://www.allpar.com/trucks/ram/power-wagon/ Edited to add the Allpar Articulink photos for quick reference.

First, if you answered the poll above with selection 3, then you might want to review the info below starting with the Allpar info in the second post in the thread; http://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/articulink-in-the-jt-wrangler-pickup.1141/#post-5317 Sorry, I put the cart before...

I think I've spotted the Link-Coil hardware similar to the Power Wagon (only with a D44 instead of AAM 9.25) in the rear. Would need clearer front photos to see if there's an Articulink front, could be just be wishful thinking and a standard setup similar to the JKU sits up front, but would be...

Yeah, but it kinda has to in order to keep parts fairly consistent between platforms, and allow space for a full sized 32" spare (even if it's really 30.8). It's going to be a compromise in many ways. hopefully as a whole it's better than expected, to which. *sarcasm to follow* Hey, did you...

Holy Cat5 cable Batman !! Looks like lotsa sensing going on there. Would be nice to get a view of the diff in this picture without the JL logo blocking it to confirm the variant, from the last photo which is at an angle/off-axis, it looks like the more gradual rise bolt pattern of the D44...

That one there is a Starwood Motors custom, the Bandit ( the one above is their ridiculous 700HP SEMA demo truck for ~$250,000 which was also made for Dustin Pedroia) ; http://www.starwoodmotors.com/bandit/...

It's likely not the same, as it's the length of the JK/JL top, but the rear piece is unlikely to to have a flip-up rear window. I think it's likely still removable, but also likely incorporates something different and more secure in that rear section, including possibly a cross-beam which would...

Agree with all that, except for the mention of power. Plus the JT will be a different animal, because it has to be, even to be considered at the adult table instead of at the kiddies table with the Subaru Baja, etc. The engine has little to do with the Wrangler's limits, it tops-out elsewhere...
