Did you happen to notice if they changed the lug nuts to lug bolts? I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would think that would be a good idea with huge and heavy tires. Also, does it look like there is even less room in the back because of that sub, or is it flatter against the wall? Im assuming that color is nacho, which looks awesome.

They are 14mm lug bolts. They are being used because they are stronger.

The sub didn’t seem to take up any more room than what we’ve seen on the JK.

The color was not nacho. Looked like detonator yellow.

Super busy today, as were you. Just now able to go through this whole thread. Super cool. Good to see the real deal options and details and not just speculation.

Can't wait to order mine up!!

Time will tell. In the leaked brochure I saw the off-road pages that showed a lot of information like the inclinometer etc. I'm a sucker for stupid shit like that lol.

So, this information has some obvious errors (how can the Rubicon have 5" and 8.4" Uconnect as standard), but it does show that there are other options besides the 8.4". Not sure which options include the off road information screens.

Interesting. So how does this compare to the D44? Is there an official name for the new axle?

From a Jeep perspective they will just be called 3rd Generation Dana Solid Axles. The Rubicon has 3rd Generation Dana 44 HD Wide axles.

From a Dana perspective I believe they call them the AdvanTEK axles and are designated as M186, M200, M210 and M220 (the number being the ring gear size in mm).

It is not a 35. It's the newest gen Dana axle. Ring gear size may be close but it definitely does not have c clips.

I stand corrected, thank you for clearing that up for me. I had been going off of what I heard and should have known to ask about these things and verified as much while I had the chance yesterday :eek:

There are several different radios. The 8.4s all get off road pages but not all JLs have the 8.4
