great video as always, I love that JL

Awesome video! Looks like the rain gutter runs the entirety of the three piece hard top. Great for the accessories we use now on our JK. That is a huge relief to be able to transfer some accessories.

A buddy of mine works at a dealership that just took delivery of a base sport model JLU ... it's Fugly in the base trim !!

Nice balanced review. Enjoyed it. Thanks.

Excellent review. I appreciate how through it was, checking out little details. It's not the best but it's still a real Jeep.

Clean & clear video. Well done guys

Just checked out one yesterday. I like it! Sticking to the jk as I'm not near done that build yet but very cool for sure. I noticed you forgot to mention the 3rd brake light is adjustable to fit a larger tire on the spare mount from factory.

one of the best on wrangler... thanks .... please make a separate video on understanding the gear...

Great video Ryan. Thanks.

Hi Ryan the one thing you didn't mention was the sensors in the taillights that check your blind spots.

I can't wait to get one! After driving the JK, this is basically the same thing but with some fixes and some more modern features

Great video my brother!

Great review I like the Sahara but I'm still waiting for the diesel engine option & see how it performs

Just got one a few days ago. Best. Car. Ever.

Great Review , I Love the Changes, I would have liked to see a more powerful engine , but very Nice 👍.

Thanks for the "intel" specifically the optional upgrade of the Dana 44 rear axle/transfer-case in this Sahara model. This is the exact review I want to see from reviewer that seem to have little or no knowledge of this platform. I have went to jeeps website and "built" my version of jeep and decided the rubicon was just too much money so I optioned out the Sahara as close to my desired jeep at a few grand less than the rubicon I would of preferred. Thanks again.

Nice detailed video.

I love the new jeep . Head lights r awesome. It just looks good to me

Can't wait to get my JLU Sahara!!

Man, I better start saving up my money so that I can buy a JL. I grew up with the JK and I honestly prefer driving Jeeps! There's just that nostalgic feeling I get when I drive it. I cannot go for any other car brand except Jeep! Jeep is love, Jeep is life!

GREAT VIDEO

It is very cool imo.But I think many current jk owners are going to be holding out for the diesel option.This is something we are dying to have in a wrangler.Already planning on buying one when they hit the showroom.

Great review man! Not awkward and didn't act like you reviewed it last minute. Really knew your stuff and presented it confidently! Definitely one of the better reviews I've seen

Great video....👍👍👍

I'm warming up to it I might go to the dealership and drive one

Nice! I want one!

Would have figured they would come with a front dana 44. Dana 30's problem is when a 4:56 or 5:13 gear is installed, there is not enough contact area, and teeth strip off.

Love the way tht jeep look

i like the idea of the new 4-h-auto which basically turns it into an AWD like a subaru, which is good when roads are slippery here and there. but i wish this option was available on the rubicon

Can you do side by side JK and JL also how much is the windshield tilted back

can't wait to buy one in 5 years

I like how the Subaru caught his eyes 19:08 lol

Noticed the new Wrangler has gone to CV axles up front, when did they do that? Is it just the newest Wranglers they've swapped to CV's in? I figured the older U-Joint setup would be the heavier duty setup they'd stick with in the Wranglers but I've been told the CV axles are much better for road manners. I know I get a lot of feedback in my 98 Grand Cherokee with the U-Joints up front in 4WD than I did in my 96 Grand Cherokee with CV axles. The selec-trac system I assume isn't nearly the same as what was in the Cherokee's and Grand Cherokees in the 80's and 90's? I'd assume this new system is electronically controlled with sensors rather than a regular front to rear torque split of power all the time?

The T-Case is basically the same NV242 from the liberty, its just a ball ramp clutch on the front output shaft instead of a shift collar. I suspect you already knew that though. The real question I don't know is: in full time 4wd is the ADD always engaged? I don't know.

Hi, great Review, Question, on your test drive did you drive on the FWY? If so, was there a lot of wind noise? I have a JLUR fully loaded on order and test drove one a few days ago at a local dealership. When I got on the FWY the wind noise was so loud it seemed like a window was cracked open or a door was not fully closed. Another guys posted on someone else review he also had the same thing on his test drive of one.

Is a hood lock available and has the new Nav System real time traffic updating? 👍

I love it and the options, the ton of little things that they fixed. I just don't want more payments. I have the 70th Anniversary addition, maybe when the 80th comes out in 2021.

On that hard top, is it designed to have the back windows pop out like the rectractible soft top? I saw what looked like joints suggesting it does, but i could be wrong.

Great job... Goodtimes

I could see replacing the fender front marker lights with flood LEDs

Like the windshield change. Besides the aero dynamic helping mpg the flat windshield increases the chances of road debris to crack your windshield. According to safelite auto glass wranglers are the most damage windshields they get in the shop cause of the straight up flat design

I live in Chicago, so the winter is very long and very cold. Do you feel any wind leaks in the Sahara? One time I was on a jeep with soft roof and it was really cold inside the jeep, so I don't know how good or bad will be with the hard top

He really made sure to let us know he was just doing some “light” off roading! 😂 Other reviewers get roasted on taking it “off-road”

Hey Ryan, How tall are you? I have a JK and am 6.' You seem to tower over the JL. Were you comfortable with leg and head room inside?

Could you please test the wind noise on high speeds?

Question.. how do you get back the turncam on because after replace a new battery it disappear.

I love jeep wrangler but....Please explain why you don't talk about the recall for over 18,000 2018 and 2019 Jeep Wranglers that have failing welds causing a critical suspension mounting bracket to detach?

Compare a JKU Rubicon Hard Rock or Recon with the JLU Rubicon.

Best jeep model 👌!!!

Anyone know when the v4 turbo is coming out?

I've notice noone has put it thru water like I've done to my 08

Saw one the other day! Really like it but I'll be sticking to my JK!

I wanna get a YJ because the I6 is so bulletproof

All the haters not accepting that the new jeep is better , just like it has been every new generation, if you don't like it , keep your old one and stfu.

So did Jeep eliminate the 3.21 AND 3.73 gears in favor of just having a middle of the road 3.45 gears in all non-Rubicon? I went for the 3.73s in my JK when I bought it, and have been so glad that I did so. My mom has 3.21s in hers and it just doesn't feel as grunty down low.

Do you know if aftermarket front and rear bumpers for the JK will work on the JL? I'd like to keep what I have on my JK if I get a JL.

Congrats your the first person in the world to do a off road doughnut in the new Jeep JL lol

Did you see that subi @19:06 . Dope af

How do I know if I have Dana 44 rear axle in my JL Sahara? I know for a fact I do not have the part time 4 wheel drive option in my transfer case.

My experience owning one so far... Every ad, pamphlet, sales literature and even the sales pitch at the dealership revolve around it's off road capabilities. Yet doing things I did on a weekend basis with my 20 year old Wrangler TJ Sahara caused the yolk on the front inner axle to fail, taking out a ball joint and snapped an ear off of the now cheap aluminum steering knuckle. All on a brand new 2019 Wrangler JL Rubicon! First they tried to brush me off due to evidence of mud under the vehicle (for real?). The argument quickly escalated that I possibly hit something despite 0 damage on any other components. They wouldn't say I did hit something for sure, but since it was a possibility... they had an argument. It was also a possibility a part failed... just saying. When making it clear I couldn't be without a vehicle any longer and that I have to get it fixed, I asked if it needed anything else. They didn't know, as they didn't inspect it. They just saw it was broke and dirty and essentially just said nope unless I paid up. I was told they could see if anything aside from what they could see by looking behind the tire was broke, but I'd have to pay for a full inspection. At one point I was given the option to pay in "advance" to speed up the repairs and if the warranty kicked in, I'd be reimbursed. Ya, right... Being jerked around between the dealership and customer service, I took my jeep elsewhere to get fixed. Doing so apparently waived my right to complain anymore or receive compensation. But after 2 weeks of being without a vehicle... it had to be done. It turned into 3 weeks after everything was said and done. That's what 60k buys you! I've posted this a few times on Jeeps facebook page. Which are all deleted and I am blocked now from commenting. Guess your only allowed to tell people to go ahead and void your warranty work, it's fun!

I've noticed no one is getting the Rubicon for review, only the Sahara. Wonder what thats all about.

XT, how long do you think before we start seeing lift kits from the big names such as Rock Krawler, Metalcloak, Rough Country...etc. Thank you!

They moved the license plate to the bumper because the tail gate is larger(wider).

It's not a full-time 4WD mode, since it has no center differential. It's an automatic part-time 4WD system that uses a clutch mechanism. When you put it in 4H Auto power is only sent to the rear wheels in normal driving conditions. If a slippage is detected, the system will automatically engage the clutch and send power to both rear and front.

Your really tall, or is the jeep smaller ?

Omg the wheels are a deal breaker

Urgent, pls help! You recommended rubicon earlier for someone with a similar question but there's a TWIST. Pricing is the same now for a 2018 JK Rubicon OR a 2018 JL Sahara. Which one? I don't plan on serious off-roading. Probably. But for camp/hiking, biking, some snow. My FIRST jeep. I test drove a JL sport last year, automatic. But I can get either a JL Sahara or a JK Rubicon. And yes I like some of the creature comforts and wouldn't mind a factory rearview camera. *yes I know I can get one installed on the JK. I can compare build sheets and axles all day long but in need an experienced advisor. WHAT SHOULD I DO??

what color is it?? the name of the color??

I don't know why but that front bumper drives me nuts. Best jeep ever? Post again in a hundred thousand miles or so.

I just ordered a JLU Rubicon fully loaded, the only things I did not get was smoker group, dual top, upgraded rims and engine heater. I would like to see it with the 2.5” lift and 37” tires. I heard that is all your going to have to lift it for 37s

I bought a JK last september and I've always said this will be the last car I ever buy because I intend to drive until I die. The only thing that will change that is when Jeep releases a 4.0L V8 engine for the Wranglers

is he 7 feet tall jeep looks small

anyone else noticed that he was eyeing the yellow subaru?

It's a 5 piece hardtop since the side bits pop out. I just don't like the push button start

They should had stuck with the JL theme and used JL Audio subwoofers instead of Alpine lol.

Release the diesel!!!!

yoo tell Tony i said wassup!

damn hes tall!

Completely redesigned yet completely identical.

Looks like a liberty

What colors is this called

From what I hear u can fit a 35in tire on stock suspension on a JL

Alright Ryan. Now what does it look like with a 4inch lift and 37’s?

C'mon Jeep release the diesel now! Nice video but a diesel is the only thing that will get me out of my JK.

Wish they would fix the road noise

I think they all ready made the best Jeep ever. Came out about 55 years ago.....

Great review! I am not a purist by any means but this jeep is disappointing. It went from SUV to wagon. $36k for a sport model and no power windows, door locks or LED light options.. I'll pay more for the scrambler, but not a jeep with more electronics..

Comprehensive video as usual. But this Sahara jl definitely isn't for me. It screams soccer mall mom. Never been a fan of any 4 Dr Wrangler, especially the Sahara. These bells and whistles are unnecessary fluff. The 2 door Rubicon looks good though. Too bad you didn't bring that in for a closer look.

I bet they did nothing about Death Wobble

well that’s unfortunate. my dad just bought himself a 2017 wrangler unlimited

Tiny axles and those tires got to go

Turbo is trash! I got 1 with the turbo had it 9 days and an oil fitting to the intercooler failed leaking oil on the freeway ended up having metal shavings in my oil filter. Still at the dealer service department 2 weeks later, jeep engineers advising them, no answers yet, but I put a claim with chrysler for a buy back. Who wants a new jeep with a rebuilt engine! Should've kept my jk

too much $

My wife's jeep wk2 has all these features and guess what its done more offloading then that hey guys it can do donuts great jeep buy it lmao

JL is ok I rather by a jk

37k for a base model... 53k for Rubicon? ya no thanks! l take a left over

Well it's a jeep and one thing is still true about this one if you want a decent jeep your still going to have to throw away all the jeep parts

Way too much electronic shit and crap that's not wanted in off road.... Hope they have a stripped version with no bullshit . Get one with a blown engine, throw that away and put a mechanical Cummins in it and Advanced Adapter 4 speed transfer case with some Dynatrac axles... Fill trash can with what ever else the hippies put on it that's not needed
