So we may just have our first look at an unwrapped 2018 Wrangler JL, courtesy of a Reddit image posted by a member of the Cincinnate JK Crew club.

The member claims he took it from a post on the group’s Facebook page, but it is unclear where the actual photo originated from.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has been very protective about revealing any info on their newest Wrangler – only stating that the vehicle will be displayed near the end of November at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

This image does seem to display some of the bells and whistles many believe the JL Wrangler will have as the hood, hinges, handles and fender vent all make their appearance.

However, like anything else with the upcoming Wrangler redesign, this picture is not official and we probably will not have a full look at the vehicle until Los Angeles.

FCA currently expects the JL Wrangler to enter production around the middle of November, and reach dealership showrooms by the end of this year.
