More information is spilling out on the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. A member of the JL Wrangler Forums has gotten images from the FCA dealer system which now features the 2018 Wrangler along with a litany of options.

One of those options is a full-time four-wheel-drive system called Selec-Trac. If history any indication, the Selec-Trac system will likely offer a low-range mode like on the 2008 to 2012 Liberty. Before you start grabbing the pitchforks and torches, Selec-Trac will only be available on the Sahara.

We also have gotten an interesting tidbit on the 2.0L turbo-four. It will come with a "Belt Start Generator" system. We're guessing this will be used with a stop-start system to save fuel.

H'mmmmm Why do I feel that FCA is going to cannibalize the Wrangler!

Looks like they are sticking to their while upgrading it.  The Sahara has always been the lux version of the Wrangler, so this is no surprise.  I am sure we will get the Rubicons with the locking front and rear diffs and sway bar disconnect.  I find it amazing they are able to still keep the live axles (even in the pickup as the mules confirm) and the convertible top, removable doors, and folding windshield. 

When do they put the Hellcat in it?
