    Just your post about the few differences between the JK/JL doesn't capture all of the incremental and subtle changes made to the new JL that probably makes @chris4x4 heart twinkle. No harm no foul. Test drive one and you will understand :spending:

    The JL 8 spd trans is a great match with the 3.6L but I read engine production moved down south.

    @Rc Jeep , As to the "Over Rated", Yeah, Im sure. BUT< im looking at them as more of a "Step" rather than to be used as a hi-Lift point, or protection from rocks. They seem to be more durable than a nerf bar type step, so Im good with that.

    Installed some DeAuto LED Fog light bulbs. They can be switched from White, to Amber simply by cycling the switch off/on

    Were you able to reuse any Jeep accessories off the JK to use on the JL before the trade-in+pay?
