Seems like it. I read today that the 2016 Wrangle or better yet Wrongler may not even have solid axles.

I've seen that yesterday on JP they were talking about it they also changed the engine to from the 3.7 to a 3.6 if I remember right from what my buddies at the dodge told me.

I'm not too obsessed with the looks on my XJ but there a couple things I would like to do. I have some ugly body moulding on the bottom quarter of the body I'd like to remove. I don't care about the paint underneath since I'll probably hit it with some bed liner or mossy oak wrap down the road. Anyone got some nifty tips for removing all that trim and the adhesive?

The trim should just pull off and for the adhesive I have heard good things about these.

I used heat gun to heat it then peeled it off and then acetone to get rid of the adhesive,

Been going nuts without the beast here to tinker with. Been separating brass to reload. I put a new light on the shorty today.

Its should be the same I think everything is pretty much the same on the middle parts and brackets. Expect for a extra slot or hole.
