Even though it’s 2019 and the new style Wranglers (JK, JL & JT) are now in their 12th year of production the windshield defroster system still stinks. Our new 2018 JL has so many modern features that further improve on the JK like a heated steering wheel and backup camera but still frozen wipers and …
The 2018+ Wrangler JL uses the same 3.6L V6 as the 2012-2018 Wrangler JK. There are some internal tweaks, but it’s mostly the same on the outside.

With a short 600 miles on the new jeepfan.com JL Rubicon we had enough of being stock and looking like the rest. At this point there isn’t a lot of options for the JL so we decided on an inexpensive but very effective means of making some room for larger tires and adding some ground …
