Hi all! New member here. From DFW area Texas. Really enjoying the JL.
Looking forward to being a member here. This is my 4th wrangler. Hoping to help/use this forum to find accessories and figure what (if any) accessories from the JK will work with the JL.

Welcome to the forum Skye! How are you finding the JL in comparison to the performance of the JK? Most of what I've been seeing online, indicates that its an improvement in almost all aspects. What aftermarket accessories from the JK are you hoping to transfer over?

The new transmission is great! It feels more powerful all around, plus since mine has 4.10s it's nice to still have the tach at 2000rpm at 70mph.

I'm not so much looking to transfer parts over from a JK, but am shopping for accessories and hoping to learn which items I can order for a JK that will work on my JL. The internet has not caught up to the JL so there are no parts listed.

Short list includes: Shorty Antenna, wench plate.

Yeah I've seen that one of the most noticeable changes from the JK is the increased acceleration and power. And there certainly don't seem to be many sites that have updated for the JL as of yet. I was able to locate one, but its pretty limited at the moment.

This is the info on the wench plate for when it becomes available if anyone wants to know. See attached screenshot. I called-unknown on when will be available.

Well hopefully we'll start seeing more in terms of modification support soon. You would think that the websites that already offer aftermarket parts for the JK would have been ready for the JL's release.

I think as summer rolls around we might see Jeep show up to meets with customized Wranglers for the community to see. Other car makers have done it and its an easy way for Jeep to reach out. SEMA is well past us so that's one big opportunity lost.
