They get a Jeep that is cool to them, a great marketing tool, and the write-off. Need to spend money to make money, so they will hopefully be money ahead with a unique Jeep when all is said and done.

We had an '08 and a '14...night and day. I now have a '14 of my own, and I'm super impressed w/ the 3.6 pushing these 40s The 3.8 never would've done it...reason there were so many Hemi conversions early on, especially in the '11 - new interior, old engine...bam, perfect candidate!

Facebook is loaded w/ videos, pix, lifts of the JL going down this week. Crazy, response has been pretty great. I dig finding out more and more about this thing...it's a builders dream, so many things changed for the wheeler!

Totally!
I love 37s...they are the shyt! Seriously, loved them on my Scrambler, my buddies JK...I honestly think my 40s are just damn huge! I'll keep this JK a while, and a while means until I can come across a JL "Scrambler" on 37s...or find an affordable Brute DC with 37s Hell, had I waited another month before I grabbed my current JK I could've snagged a Brute DC for about the same...plenty of them out there on 35s but I'm totally sold on 37s. Yes, that setup by TrailJeeps is pretty damn sweet, and it's basically stock

The JL Rubicon high line flares are a game changer in some ways. That thing has the same tire to flare gap that my JK does with ~4” of lift. I wonder what kind of bumpstops it’ll require to keep the tires from taking the flares off though? Even with those flares 35s will need about 2” bumptstops, just like on a JK.

basically as long as it holds up offroad as good it's a huge win. if it's better (and all accounts say it should be) this jeep will be a HUGE win. no more bent axles, twisted steering box, etc etc

I have 37s and needed a huge amount of lift and backspacing to make it work.

Yeah, the amount of lift and modification required on everything before this < JL
Outside of the electronics being incessantly b!tched about, this is an everymans Jeep! Well, the price tag is gonna kill some bank accounts too

See it flex...wow, has some great flex! The fact that 37s fit into those wheelwells with minor rubbing at full flex is flat out amazing!!
https://www.facebook.com/trailjeeps/...2710714134006/ Will need some bumpstops, but damn that is a killer accomplishment with JUST 2 inches!! And some renderings of the JT - just how close will it be to this Those are some gawd awful bumpers

back of the body and front of the bed are wrong, but otherwise... yeah.
Bumpers and rocker panels should look identical to JL though. |

That's my guess as well...while I've seen these before, and don't think they are all that spot on, still better than nothing at all
Get with it already, Jeep

I don't understand why the top would not align w/ the bed

Because they're going off how the top fits on the AEV Brute DC and because both of those are outdated and based on JK images. It's possible that tan one is just a highly photoshopped AEV Brute DC.
Here's the CAD for the JT body and bed. |

Big J FTMFW
and i love the idea of the flare as the crossover. both from a style, a function, and a manufacturing standpoint. |
