How Does The JT's Development Stack Up To The JL? Timeline Inside

[Vegas_Sirk]

So I made this and posted it in another thread but looking at it is pretty interesting. As it seems like the JT is fairly close. More so then I thought however with exceptions:

Timeline I made going back thorough old JL posts:

JL Camo Dropped - Feb 2017: (We have yet to see a JT in this state, even now in AUG 2018)

https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...rab-handles-signs-of-foldable-windshield.673/

JL Interior Spied - May 2017: (JT's are still using JK Interior as of AUG 2018)

JL 2 Door Spied - June 2017 (The JT is kind of aligning with the 2 Door JL, dose this mean we won't see it till end of 2019?)

JL 2 Door Dropping Camo - June 2017

https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/spied-2-door-jl-wranglers-hard-soft-tops.1188/

JL Unibody Leaked - July 2017 (JT Body Was Leaked In JUNE 2018, so 1 month earlier then this)

JL Rubicon Trail Testing - Aug 2017 (Just saw this this week which is about the exact same time the JL was on the Rubicon. Is this a sign its in similar development stage or are they simply using AUG as a time of year do to weather and lack of snow on the trail?)

My thoughts are GET IN MAH BELLAH.

Seriously though, it seems they're on track for an LA Auto Show reveal.

If y'all recall they were all over the map for production & release, then suddenly it happened.

Doesn't somebody have a drone to fly over the Toledo South plant in search of evidence?

 

[Wraith]

I'll say it again, great work compiling all this. Hopefully we can fill in that timeline with some long awaited details come September. I am getting super impatient waiting for leaks to trickle in. Eventually all the waiting will be worth it but it feels like its dragging on forever.

 

[2020 SCRAMBLER]

Ditto. Super impatient at this point. But then I have been waiting YEARS...

 

[Wraith]

You and my both my friend. Been waiting for a new Jeep truck since 2005 and ended up owning a few MJ's to hold me over. Looking forward to the JT!

 

[Ian cj10]

im glad ive got the old cj10 because ill have to wait even longer than you guys

 

[2020 SCRAMBLER]

Wanted a Gladiator since the 1980s in high school...

By the time I could afford one they were all rust buckets or $25K restorations.

Plus I now need a dedicated back seat AND truck bed...not the option of either a backseat OR bedspace.

 

[FallenSamurai]

I was thinking a SEMA debut. :/

The wait for the long awaited Wrangler with a DIESEL, and now the coveted JT?!?!?!?! I'm about to soil myself with anticipation.

 

[FallenSamurai]

I want a HEMI.

 

[Billy]

We must look like this to FCA...

:cwl::cwl::cwl:

Well it looks like LA Auto Show is out:

We have some new info to share! First, we've confirmed the JT is a 2020 Model Year. Based on what we know, we estimate that production will begin around January 2019 and Order Banks should open around January/February 2019.

Detroit. Fo Sho den.

Detroit. Fo Sho den.

Yea thats what Im thinking too. Makes sense if the production starts in Jan, and would be on schedule for the rumored April delivery.
