I was trying to put some magnetic sign decals on my jlu and found that only the tailgate and quarterpanels were steel. Somehow, i missed the info on what the hood and doors were made of. Anyone???

Aluminum. Shit, I wouldn't have thought about that. Might have to do vinyl wrap or sticker.

I believe the magnesium is used in some of the inner structure. The exterior skin is definitely aluminum.

I need to check some tech sheets/presentation info of fca introducing the new body work on a vehicle body conference. That'll show what is made of which metal. I'll post it if I can find out something more

Hood, doors, windshield frame and front fenders are aluminum.

Tailgate is magnesium structure with aluminum outter skin.

Rest of body is high strength steel.

Yeah its hard to stick a magnet to the grille, maybe glue could help out 🤣
About the tailgate, thanks for the update and reply, I found some info on that
