2017 LA AUTO SHOW – Yellow Jeep JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited

Of the 3 Jeep JL Wranglers that were presented at the official press reveal, this yellow Rubicon Unlimited was that really caught my eye. Not that the Sahara or red 2-door weren’t nice but this 4-door was the closest thing to what Cindy and I have already ordered and so I was eager to give it a closer look. The only thing it has that we didn’t even have available to us yet is the all new Hurricane 2.0L Turbo I4 motor. That being said, it was nice to see the soft top in safari mode and we got to see first hand just how easy it was to lower. After seeing this, we can’t wait to get ours in our garage. Here are a few detailed shots of what it looks like.

These shots give a better look at how the front fenders sit higher up much like the Mopar aftermarket JK Highline fenders.

As has been the case for a while now on the JK, the air dam on this JL Wrangler is a steel skid plate.

The rear shocks being mounted on the outside of the frame rails should give us some nice upgrade options in the future.

The JL Wrangler factory skid plates look beefed up to me and I have no doubt they’ll hold up just as well if not better than the ones we’ve been beating on Moby over the last 10+ years.

The new JL Wrangler hood latches are a nice improvement and look a LOT stronger than what the JK came with.
