No. They just need to reinvent themselves.

From what i'm seeing. I think it might be an two top option. A hard top (permanent) with removable top panels.
Then an soft top option (removable) to completely go topless.

I was so excited about this body change two years ago when it was expected to happen for 2017 in keeping with the 10 year interval changes. My first purchase was an '82 then I hopped on the 10 year cycle owning an '87, '97, and currently an '07. Unfortunately, much like the Camaro so many years ago that seemed to take forever to be put out for public consumption, I have grown weary of bits and pieces stringing the public along. So, Mr Jeep executive, I am taking myself out of line for a new body Wrangler. Good news is, I did not let go of my '07. Over the past 2 years (2 yrs ago I was softly listing it for sale) it has continued to do everything I wanted it to with great pleasure. Perhaps a couple years further there may be a really nice slightly used JL that peaks my interest again.

Subtle changes. I like it. One can only pray it doesn't have those ridiculous "X" taillights though.

Default Anyone else notice?

On all of the pic's I've seen of the new Wrangler, I did not notice any exterior bolts along the A-pillar or the windshield to mount aftermarket lighting or... Seems there will have to be a lot of drilling or clamps. Unless I just didn't see them.

I just saw a pic that had the bolts. Unfortunately it too was only a rendering.
