Insider JL Info

Hey guys, I was able to meet with a tooling guy working on the JL and he gave me a few facts... Or tidbits of info....

First, the windshield will still fold down. They are working to mold the frame and the tailgate together as it goes through paint.

The windshield is currently angled at 56.5 degrees.

The body will be a combination of steel, aluminum and magnesium.

The roll cage will be built into the body and body color matched. It will remain uncovered and not have padding.

The Jeep Truck will have a 70/30 tailgate. Seems odd and maybe it will change. The truck is a year or two behind the new LJ. They are planning a diesel version, but I think we all knew that.

I have pictures of the 2 full LJ bodies that are together for tooling, but I do not want to get this person fired. :(
