    Seems to be their preview of the JL. Sparking interest. ???. Watched Mopar Sema video for the JL. Thought it was bullshit honestly. Promoted a TV channels preview of a motor option. Not the Jeep. Sucked honestly.

    Anyway.....here's the latest they are sharing. From what I can find anyway. Looks like a sweet ride .

    I have a feeling with all the hype we are in for a big let down. From the pics I have seen of th JL I can't really see any changes. Maybe if they were side by side I could tell.

    The big change is the transmission, and interior. That's mostly it. Oh....And the new diesel.

    Since the introduction of the JKU sales have broaden to a larger subset of new buyers that could lead to a softer and more sophisticated JL moving further away from its roots. The release of the owners manual provides some clues such as the 5 position 4WD (4H), multi-speed AT, engines and push-start.

    How about we scrap them all and do a LS swap. Really though it would depend on how much extra it would cost to get the diesel.
