Thanks for the share. I notice the turn lights moved to the fenders. How many think will be in the production model and how do you all feel about this change?

Thanks for posting these up. I wish these guys would just show us what the damn thing will look like already.

Ah, X 1000! I wish they would let us see it already! Thanks for sharing, it's definitely got to be close to being finished, if not already done.

Here's a shot that was posted on Instagram.



Don't know if it's just because of the camo-diaper or not but I find it interesting where the license plate is mounted.

Overall it looks pretty similar to the JK. The tail lights look a little different. Hard to say with the covering though.

Not caring for that wheel design... but's it's not like I would leave them on anyway.

Yeah... But how often does the auto industry get to keep us in utter suspense.... LOL....

I am surprised some enterprising gambler hasn't set up Vegas odds on what the look will be....

Can't tell much by the pic, but I have seen plenty of pics of these 2018s. I will believe it when I see the real deal. Kind of a stodgy wheel, don't cha think. I do believe the windshield and the grill will be a little more laid back. I don't look for much more appearance changes. Hey, they have a pretty good thing going with the jks.

I think I read that most suspension parts of JK will be the same. The aftermarket will love that!

From the look of things, that will most likely be true or close enough that the aftermarket industry will be happy. That being said, it's kind of a shame.

Looks like someone leaked a shot of a JL Wrangler on the factory floor.

True glimpse, not a rendering.

Fenders
Fewer bolts on cowl/windshield
Soft top design
Door hinges
"Lines"
Hood
Front 1/4 panel


Lots of subtle changes...but it does look kind of like a JK. [emoji6]

About fucking time. Hinges do look different. I like the hood from what can be seen. The mirror signals are kinda cool too.

Good eye!! Definitely "lines" - a lot of throwbacks to the TJ in fact. I don't know why they bothered but it looks like the windshield still folds down too.

Also, it looks like the cowl intake is a separate piece instead of being stamped out.
