JLWranglerForums.com got a hold of the pdf files for the new JL's owner and user manuals, which pretty much jumps the gun on FCA's plans to save the JL reveal for this winter.



I haven't had a chance to read through the files yet but man, those fender-mounted turn signals are hideous. Rest of the Rubi on the cover looks like an awesome tweak to the JK styling, imo. I just hope a top of the line Rubicon doesn't clock in above $50K like some are speculating.

I get the whole idea of controlling information releases for marketing strategy and whatnot, but it seems like there is an awful lot of hype and secrecy around what looks like a very subtle change from a styling standpoint.

read through the docs a day ago. looks like it is going to be a pain in the ass to remove the hard top and the doors.

That screen doesn't look as big as most people were expecting. Looks to be similar size to the current one.

Really interested to see how that sliding hard top will work.

Looks like a Jeep. Imagine that.

Remember when you could go off road in a Jeep with the windows down and not freak out when something spashed in. Now you suddenly panic and have to pull out the steam cleaner to detail out the interior.

I'm really glad they added #7 to the key on the console picture. I was wondering what that round thing was on the left side

Conversely, there's the one for "multi function lever", which leaves it at just that...no mention of which functions that lever controls, but make no mistake - its more than one!

Agreed. Every time I see the options for leather seats, power windows/locks, and the touch screen in the dash, I'm baffled that anyone would choose a wrangler for their SUV rather than something with a quieter, smoother, overall more comfortable ride. But whatever, different strokes for different folks I guess.

Sure do. Only had to worry about simple things like keeping the distributor dry or the carburetor at a reasonable angle.

What other choice do you have? G wagon? The rest are all independent suspension junk or heavy duty full size pickup trucks.

Nah, some have two doors and some have four.

Some old ones had square headlights.
