2018 SEMA ProComp White JL Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited Fastback Hardtop

[wayoflife]

While I'm not usually a fan of anything ProComp, Smitybilt or anything made by 4WheelParts, I will have to say that this white JL Wrangler they'll be displaying here at SEMA was actually pretty nice. It's modestly build with a Rubicon Express long arm kit and trimmed metal fenders that actually have integrated LED lights. I will have to say that I really can't stand the tilted spare thing but the billet aluminum tire carrier did look interesting if not super expensive.

Again, the fastback hard top seems to be a thing at the 2018 SEMA show.

Here's a better look at the tire carrier.

As you can see, this JL is outfitted with a Rubicon Express long arm kit.

The coils must be soft cause they were bowing quite a bit.

I’m with you on the spare, but overall, it looks nice. I like the paint scheme, actually.

Smittybilt quality has improved the last couple years. I know folks aren't a fan of China-made stuff, but the few parts I run by them are solid.

I don't like it.

The spare tire is really out there like a ledge magnet...fenders look nice, hopefully won't rust thru in a year (and they will cost 25% more next year)...

Steel fenders are no bueno IMO. Saw some today on a JK at the local Home Depot. Rock rash and rust. [emoji54]

I think the color scheme is pretty cool, not to flashy but different enough to make it stand out.

I dont hate it. Colors are cool..

I can appreciate the lights in the fenders but they look like dog shit.

The tire carrier went straight from the cnc mill and on to the Jeep, lol. At least, I hope they were in a hurry...

I don’t actually hate that. I like the hood vents a lot actually. Genders seem like an awesome idea poorly executed. Tire carrier is interested but the slanted tire has me scratching my head.

Honestly it’s not all that bad. I’d change a couple of things out of it was mine but I’d rock it.

That angled part holding the tire will bend sideways in a heartbeat...especially since it appears there are no isolators keeping the tire from jiggling.

I like the billet tire carrier. No tilt spare for me. Overall I think it looks okay. Just okay. Kinda meh on it overall.

The angled tire carrier has a simple fix for the trail. Get yourself a hitch stinger from the Wayalife store.:thumb:

the angled carrier is ugly. :thinking: wonder if the rear view camera is pointed up to much now.

now the jeep in the back with the red bead lock rings would be interesting to see

Don't hate it, worried that tire carrier will end up in pieces. Looks like a good way to get your rear window taken out too

I like the color and the idea of lights in the fenders, but would prefer plastic fenders

Don’t hate it but wouldn’t build one similar
