I did get the Diesel and I am trying to get myself ready for the delays that occured with the JL Diesel. It is odd to have a scheduled production start date in four days but no EPA figures have been confirmed or released on the mileage.
I verified with my dealer today that mine is still scheduled to be built by 9/4. Probably will be held up for emissions testing for months after its built.
I posted this in another forum last month. It was the only dates I was able to find and so far they seem correct with the 2021 Wranglers being built.

I crawled under the 2020 mojave last weekend and honestly didn't look at the rails, I was looking at the shocks and looking for any frame reinforcements. The rubicon has 2 (I think) mounting bolts behind the pinch weld. Maybe the Willy's and Sport only mount to the pinch weld? Either way if...
That is how the rails on the Rubicon are described. They bolt directly to the body bottom pinch seam. I would assume they are the same mild protection.
My two labs go everywhere with us. The dogs ride inside with me except when all the kids go. It is nice to have kennels available when they decide to jump in a river and I cannot get them very dry before getting in the Jeep. I have been driving a JLuR but recently switched to the gladiator...
Just for reference if others are looking here. Jeep announced the mopar diesel specific lift kits for the JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator 7/30/2020. The Jeep Performance Parts lift for the Gladiator is Part #: 77072469AC and expected late summer with a Retail of $1495 although for me online...
My 2019 JLU steering wasnt exactly loose in comparison to my TJ. But I ran a lift and 37"tires on it. It was an early 2019 and ended up having a steering recall issued on it. I took it in and they replaced the steering stabilizer and realigned it. This did improve the steering. Given other...
In my experience Bestop provides a superior product to any other. The design and ease of use in the new sunrider in Twill is well worth the price of admission, its one of the best things I have added to my hard top Jeeps. Many businesses and lives were disrupted this spring. Even with that...
@MattCone_TX I am in a similar situation. Where I live Diesel and regular gasoline are within a few pennies of each other. At todays price I calculated out the fuel cost on 100000 miles at 18 mpg ( my average in my wifes gas v6 gladiator) and a lofty goal of 28 mpg (3.0 Diesel). The gas...
I pulled the trigger and ordered a 21 Diesel JT Rubicon today and sold my 19 JLUR

I didn’t catch that it was anything special either, I was too focused on the sweet commercial until I saw this article about it https://electrek.co/2020/02/02/jeep-unveils-electric-bicycle-1-5-kw-peak-motor/amp/
