Default Saw a new? JKU

So today I was driving around at work and happened to have a white JKU in front of me. I got to looking at it and it had manufacturer plates on it from Michigan. The thing I noticed was it was an all white Sahara that looked a lot lower then usual (maybe 2wd) I wanted to snap a pic of it but was driving a firetruck. The rear bumper had tail lights mounted inside of it. And the tail lights on the back by the rear door were red on top and clear turn signals. Just wondered if anyone else has seen this. I'm from Ohio too

If so, then I bet the front bumper looked like this.

Someone was selling that front bumper on Craigslist last year. I thought they were mistaken. Ha

I wonder what a Euro'd up model is doing with MFR plates here in the states. Diesel motor testing, maybe?

Pretty sure the Euro spec models are built right along side the domestic models.

BTW: they don't make a 2wd model anymore.

Yeah, sorry, didn't mean it was imported. Just that maybe Jeep is doing some durability/warranty testing on it, or testing it as fitted with US-spec emissions equipment if it's got a diesel under the hood.
