I wish the basic cloth on the Rubicon came with the gray dash and white stitching on everything instead of all the red. It sucks having to spend the money for the tan leather just to get rid of the red.
Hey Spencer, someone on another thread said that the steel front bumper is available again. Can you confirm or deny this? Doesn't show up in the build tool still.

The new model year is typically introduced around Sep/Oct of the prior year. Since this is the 2020 I wouldn't expect the 2021 to be available until Sep/Oct of next year so you will probably start hearing about potential changes in the months prior to that.
Personally, I don't think it's smoke at all. I think they are purposefully delaying colors to get people to jump ship and start buying all the black, red, silver and white gladiators still sitting on all the lots. See post 289..........
I have to wait longer anyway because I want the painted fenders and hardtop and that's not due until October. I also want the steel bumpers so just sitting here nice and patient............ha ha
Yes on the JLR configurator it does show a silver dash with cloth seats but it still shows red stitching. The only way to get rid of the red dash and red stitching is to go with the tan leather.
Now the other and more likely reason is that this Rubicon was produced with tan leather to get the grey dash and white stitching and then had aftermarket set covers installed. You can clearly see that the seat covers are not standard issue.
