2018 Jeep Wrangler JL Show and Tell: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know! 

While I am not sure about the dimensions, I am sure that aftermarket companies are going to get all these specs and answers in order to design roof racks for the JL. It just may take some time :/

Good question

my F-150 has auto up and auto down on the front windows, but not the back...maybe those kids in the back should be in a car seat?

I believe so. There appears to be a red ring below the handle on the shifter, but I have yet to see if that is indeed the reverse lock out ring

Good point about the rear cargo access with the soft top. A bit of a disappointing realization since the soft top is the one I would buy.

Absolutely. I'm super stoked on the JL and it shows they've given the machine a lot of thought. A nice design true to it's roots while preparing for a greener future with a bit more aerodynamic shape, 2L engine and hybrid integration, and a realistic view on the their market: the electronic gizmo might not be necessary in the vehicle, but seems to be necessary in today's market to keep selling. Jeeps shows to have listened to real life customer feedback about the JK (f.e. hood flutter, headlights, interior materials) and anticipating common mods by allowing them out of the box (such as the extra room to fit 35's and the adjustable breaklight; that's just class to integrate future possible mods into your current design). Now, why overlook something so crucial as the useability of the cargo area with the softtop? And how dreadful that folded down softtop looks (and most likely drives...). Sure, taking the windows out is much faster now, but I really hope that it is me overlooking somehting here instead of them.... Time will tell.

That's what the key is for....?

resolute 123 what do you mean?

Joseph Godin keep it, no one cares ..

The pros of the pentastar is that the power is available at the lower end of the RPM range. The horsepower is at a much higher RPM range for the 2.0L. Now since the 2.0L is a mild-hybrid, it does get an assist from the electric generator at lower RPMs to help with power there, but that is only an assist.

No, the freedom top is like the JK, and it comes off in one piece. the removable hard window is only on the power top. the soft top has zipperless removable rear window.

Tom Purcell I think it’s plastic

Anthony C thanks

Bob Lionel if you want a really good 4.5 inch long arm kit with shocks and new control arms/break lines included it can definitely go up to 5k easy

Sure but the majority of lifted JK's aren't on longarms - I'd go as far as to say probably less than 10%. You don't have to have longarms for a quality lift. Unless you are running 38"s or so a longarm is actually going to be worse than a short arm lift offroad. If the JL will fit 35's from the factory, most people probably aren't going to look at longarms until they are running 40's and by then you aren't going to be using the factory axles anyway. I'm running a Clayton's Offroad setup on my JK and I've got maybe $3K in the suspension (with hydraulic bumpstops) and it drives wonderfully.

I went by my local ford dealer for service on my SHO. I had some time to kill so I did a walk around checking out the vehicles on offer. After looking at a $70,000 Raptor market up $10,000 for market adjustment to $80,000 and seeing escapes that cost 38K, I no longer am going to bitch about the price of the Wrangler.

That's a good point, a lot of people who like spare tire covers are doing to be shit out of luck

With VAT, probably around 100,000 Euro :0)

My question was answered + yes it does

WorldDweller ///. $$$$$

Also it now has an EGR system, and after 5 years of real world use, has a better ECM system I'm sure.

Yes, those are available for order straight from Jeep themselves. You can also wait for aftermarket support.

Thanks for reply

Mopar also offers these cool tube steel doors you can see on the green accessorized JL Rubicon (easy to find on RU-vid). They give you the same doors-off feeling, you can see through them, but they offer a decent amount of protection.

Thanks I will check it out

Son37Lumiere 😳 I bought a lightly used 2013 Sport S for $25,000. I guess I got the deal of the decade!

Sherrybization B That's expensive actually if you got it in 2017. 4 years old should be less.

Earthling1984 It's actually a very good deal for a Wrangler because they hold their value so well. I've been looking for a used Wrangler and have been unable to find any with low mileage much under new price, which is about $32k give or take for a JKU Sport S.

Son37Lumiere Hmm, guess you didn't look very hard. Quick search and I found many.

Wrong. I've been looking for months on multiple sources including autotrader, cars.com and craiglist, no such thing at least in my area. They are all high $20s or low $30s unless they have high mileage in the 100k range.

He likely meant to say, water-resistant.....not waterproof.

Probably up to a certain depth. I wouldnt say you could put a jeep under 10 feet of water for an hour, the pressure would probably be too much for the waterproof sealing. But if you got it up to the dash for a minute or so, you should be fine.

Switch 'm off and you can continue cruising in the dark, just like you could with the stock JK lights. Problem solved.

NemeanLion I drive a transit bus bus with LEDs mounted low and the problem is rampant. 🙄

Sean E. They said they got roughly 24.5mph
