Anyone else notice these look like full production mules for both the Sport & Rubicon trims?

One has Falken MT tires with semi decent looking rock sliders and the other has street tires with side step running boards.

My guess it the line is complete and they are now turning out full JT test mules. If this is right was should see the trash bags coming of in the next 30 days.

I doubt the line is complete, but the design is very close. They can make these pre-production articles either on the other line or hand build them to do a final design review before approving all parts and all vendors. I do agree that these are the 2 promised levels of trim in testing.

I think its just that photo ... this photo makes it look like it connects the the rear fender:

I think it's possible that there's some sort of guard that comes up to protect the body work.

Ooh! Is it a composite box/bed? Hoping.

I think the side bolster you are seeing is just additional camo. If you notice there is another panel in front of the rear fenders as well. They also look too angular to fit in line with the production steel bumpers that are on it.

While I was hoping to see a full power rear-window, I'm still pleased to see what appear to be actual production (or near production) trucks in the wild. I hope the "within 30 days" prediction is accurate, I'm ready to see these things sans camo. The "from every angle" article showed a bed that looks completely doable for me... that beer window looks big enough for my dogs to make it through. I'm excited to see some movement so I can solidify my decision to pre-order.

I can't quite tell if the cabin is smaller and thus the back seat has less leg room, I hope not.

I wonder if their aftermarket team will have camper shells already figured out... or that some third party can put something decent out by next summer.
