I'm not in love with the Renegade grille. Hopefully someone will offer something after market that looks better.
Speaking of after market, that new radio head isn't a fully usuable 12". It's better than what is installed in my Gladiator, but it smacks of false advertising.

I'm sure our '18-'23 grille will fit if you wanted the older style.

The Grill...

First time ever that a model will have two distinct factory grills during it's years offered. If I'm not mistaken.

CJ-5s had minor variations over the years, same overall Iconic design.
CJ-7s & 8s identical. (1972 and later CJ-5 hoods also fit CJ-7s)
YJs identical.
TJs identical.
JKs identical.

but the JLs will have two distinct factory grills. No mention of new hood or front fenders so should be interchangeable across all JLs eh?

Interesting.

Which JL has the different grill? Every article I’ve seen shows this new design on all trims/models.

well tell that to AmericasMost Wanted. They have a 6 month waiting list for hemi powered Gladiators right now with owners throwing down $35k on top of the cost of a new Gladiator for a 392 gladiator conversion. I was quoted 6-9 month wait for hellcat conversion.
clearly there is a demand. Maybe you don’t want a hemi but there are those of us who enjoy the sound and feel of a hemi.
More importantly a hemi isn’t stressed towing a 3500lb trailer. several JL owners on their forum are complaining their 4XE towing less than 3500lbs is stressing the engine and sounds like a sewing machine running at high rpm trying to maintain highway speeds when towing. More over they are getting less than 10 mpg. I pull a 6k trailer with my power wagon that has a 6.4 hemi. I never dip below 12mpg even in the mountains with a 7000+lb truck. My 800hp trackhawk still has factory cylinder deactivation and gets 18mpg on road trips. And most importantly to me: the kiddos love full throttle burnouts 🙌
I don’t know any adults saying things like “i remember the time dad got great mpg when I was a kid” 🤣
to each their own
Agree, I'd still have my Gladiator if it wasn't an underpowered dog when towing. Max tow package with 4:10 gears and maxed out doing 50 MPH in the mountains with shitty gas mileage was a real drag. With the wind we get here it was underpowered without towing anything. Until Jeep does something with the underpowered or unreliable (Diesel) engines I'm out. These things aren't fit to tow half of what they are rated for. All they need is a better engine, the rest of the drivetrain is solid.

Sorry ? not sure what you are asking.

From 2017 to 2023 JL Wranglers have this grill from the factory.

Oh, I’m a dummy. Totally mis-read what you wrote.
Ignore me! 😂

Happy to see the 392 still in the JL...

If Jeep offers the 392 in the JT then bad financial decisions will be made by me and likely test my marriage...

Late response here but It looks like the dashboard stitching color will match the trim (red for rubicon) which I like better than the whole red dash for rubis.

also saw this video



And noticed there was an Easter egg that had a wrangler and gladiator. Hoping that means these changes will apply to bother wranglers and gladiators.

The 2024 Wrangler Willys is getting a rear locker. Wonder if the Gladiator Willys will.
