I find small buttons to be a bit fiddly, especially in the dark, and if you are wearing gloves. However, everyone is entitled to personal preference.

I imagine they will be setup like the auxillary switch panels that are an option on the Ram2500s. Which means you still have to get a full relay harness and still tie into the battery. So youll still need a wire harness. All you get to do is tie the trigger wire into the plug to use the factory switches. Its rather convoluted but i imagine the aftermarket will clamour over a relay box setup for ease of install.

This is the underhood connection for the switches in the rams. I imagine the JL would have this because theyll be watertight until the owner installs something and FCAs bases will be covered should there be an issue down the road.

Do agree. But would be nice if jeeps added in their own switches or buttons that you can wire into.

I'm liking it more and more. The uncovered roll bar is kinda cool. The fold down windshield is cooler than I thought. They moved the reverse on the manual finally. Jealous of that.

The more I see from the JL the more it makes me want to sell my JK and start over.

First thing that caught my eye too since I'm a manual trans guy.

Just read Road & Track’s article about the JL and it appears the 3.0 Diesel will definitely debut in 2018, only the Pentastar will be available initially, I’m definitely going to wait, would love a diesel Jeep!

^ im leaning towards the diesel also. Hopefully it will definitely be available when our lease is up on the Honda allowing more time if for some reason if it doesn’t happen on the ‘18s.

Interesting. The roll cage frame is no longer round.

Heated steering wheel FTW!!!!
Only one 12V outlet? No more two with one always on and one switched?
I don't like that A/C control panel. Too big and too many buttons.
The panel is a personal taste but the two 12V outlets is a necessity for accessories.

Probably going to the TIPM and also subject to stop working when that pos fails.

Huh the door hinges are stamped with the torx bit needed for removal. Wonder if they kept the 12v to 120vac inverter...didn't see that button in the sea of buttons on the centre stack.

Forgive me if these have been posted already, but just found these! Apparently it’s a diesel but I can’t confirm it [emoji1360]

Looks like they're strapless! That's definitely a change of pace. What you guys think of that?
Not sure I'd like that, I always liked my door swinging freely...

Not really sure I'd like that. Hard to say without living with it but I like just being able to unplug and lift my doors off.. no tools needed.
