While I really do love the looks of a built up 2-door Jeep JK Wrangler, I've always thought they looked a bit funny bone stock. I don't know if it's because of the massive fenders or how the tires look too tucked in under them or maybe their plain jane the body panels but they've just never done anything for me. That being said, the first time I laid eyes on this red 2-door JL Wrangler Rubicon, I have to say that I fell in LOVE with it! Even though it is bone stock, this JL has really nice proportions and lines and if you ask me, it "looks" modded already. Check it out!

As you can see, unlike Sahara's and Sports, the Rubicon's come with a more defined hood with aggressive embossing and vents.

The front bumper on this JL Wrangler Rubicon looks very similar to what you'd find on a JK today.

While the tires on a Rubicon will now be BFG KO2 All Terrains, they will be 33" tall.

This side view of the JL Wrangler Rubicon shows how the fenders sit higher than a Sport or Sahara.

One cool feature on this JL Wrangler Rubicon is it's half doors that have a viewing port or window cut out of it. There is no glass here but it does come with a plug to seal it off.

In this rear view, you can see how the license plate has been removed from the quarter panel and integrated into the bumper.

The half doors are a little weird if you ask me. Just not a huge fan of them. Love the red tho and how much higher the 2 door almost sits and how it has tons of potential for an easy low Center of gravity build

Fortunately, Strike Force Zebra should have a nice aftermarket option :yup:

When the first spy shots came out, I wasn’t very intrigued because it seemed so JK-like.

Then the interior pics came out, and I thought it looked too fancy.

BUT after reading the Motor Trend article and seeing the Red 2-Door Rubicon with the windshield down, I now REALLY like the JL!!!
