One thing they get entirely WRONG! It is not Chrysler that pays the fines and penalties, it is YOU, the consumer. 

 

This is why the base price of a Wrangler starts at 40K.

Then don't buy one.

I won't.

Thanks for posting.  I just paid off my 2013 JKUR and was torn between building it out, or trading it in on a new JL.  The more I see on the JL, the happier I am that I decided to keep the JK.

I'll watch this tomorrow...  Posting so I remember.

 

 

I think I'm going to keep my JK either way.

Lots of good info in that video. On the aftermarket side of things, updating the knuckles and brackets are a big plus. Not a fan of the CAD, but I get it. Overall, some steps in the right direction.

I'm curious to see the gears/carrier out of the axles.  I'm wondering if they have better bearings or a third pinion bearing to make them live, as they are smaller than the last generation.  There may be more hypoid offset, based on how high that high pinion looks.

 

Those inner Cs look beefy.  The knuckles themselves, I would wait on that one.  I would not be surprised if Crane and Reid are making replacements in short order.

 

Better brackets is great, too bad they're boat anchors, like on the JK.

 

Tube improvement is good, but not surprising, the weak tubes were costing Chrysler money as they had to warranty axles over it.

 

CAD sucks, one more thing to go wrong.  I'm sure there will be delete kits for it in a hurry.  However it looks like it hangs down too, at least on the old CAD XJ axles you weren't really losing any clearance to using them.
