Drove a JKU and JLU back to back yesterday...JK is still better.

LED's are optional, if that's really your big concern you can get regular old bulbs.
I don't think any part on any Jeep is unobtainium, that's not really a concern with the JL or JK. It's more the fact that it breaks on the trail.
As to the rest, well sounds more emotion than any logic there.

I have yet to see a JL without led running lights / signal light combos. NOPE. LOGIC for the rest too. I have had a few stereos crap the bed. The last was my 130 in my JKU. 20 mins after the replacement was delivered, it was installed and working as it should. NOT going to do that if something happens with the new ones. Back to the signal lights on the fender. They will be taking the main impact from the branches etc where as the "signal lights" you claim are on the JK are on the side and will only get scratched. Anyways....enjoy your JL. I will enjoy MY JK!

If its not a Rubicon, the JL is pretty ugly. I also wasn't impressed and ended up with a Recon which was a way better buy at the time. I would never buy a year one Fiat/Jeep product ever. The JL will be more attractive to me in 4 years when they have the bugs worked out and the aftermarket is there in full force.

I am actively shopping for a new jku now. Drove the jk and jl unlimited and the jk is the better rig.

What’s your point? It reaffirms exactly what I’m saying. Sigh.....no matter if the effing lights are incandescent or led. They are still in an effing dumb spot.

Or to save on all that work, you can just buy a JK....

Sure, but if you want all the other features a JL offers, and all that's hanging you up are the fenders and lights... I wasn't being sarcastic, I don't really like the fender/light combo on the JL and would do this if I got one, though in fairness, I think JK fenders are ugly an would be replacing those too if I had one.

I think that they are better looking than the JL...which are uneven.

I forgot to add the 2 door photo. If I was in the market for another 2 door wrangler I could handle the looks of this but unless I could talk my wife into getting a 2 door for her dd i will never again get a 2 door. For some reason it looks less soft than the 4 door to me.

Yeah. I dunno. I just wasn’t impressed with the jl. I took the jl Sahara for a drive then took a jk Sahara for a ride right after and the jk felt better. Both were brand new with less than 200km on the clock.
Drove my 2015 JKUR to a dealer and drove a JLUR. Wow, did I like it. SO, many things better than my JKUR. I'll be ordering a JLUR when the '19 order banks open up.
That said, I hated the TJ and owned three of them. I hated the JK and owned four of them. I hate the JL and will be buying my first before end of the year...
