LOS ANGELES, California —Dig under the surface of the new-for-2018 JL Jeep Wrangler, and you'll find the kind of details you should expect from a model that's redesigned no more than once every decade. While the 2011 JK Wrangler face-lift introduced such hidden details as the tiny black World War II Willys Jeep MB image found crawling up the passenger-side vertical edge on the windshield glass, the new JL Wrangler pretty much adds up to one big Easter basket full of eggs.

Speaking of Easter, Jeep isn't planning to let up on the Moab Wrangler special concepts for its big annual off-road extravaganza next spring—as long as brand design chief Mark Allen can get his hands on a half-dozen or so production models. While you're waiting for more Easter eggs within this big Easter egg unveiled between Thanksgiving and the new year, here are a few details under the surface.

1. Designers raked the windshield back in 1-degree increments before finding the right angle.

Allen's JL design team tried everything from nearly upright to a very raked-back windshield, moving it in increments to everything in between before choosing the angle you see here. It's the most raked-back windshield ever on a Jeep, but it's still conservative for a new model.

2. The hood prop-rod is, once again, permanently attached to the hood instead of the body as on the last model.

This makes it easier to lay back the hood against the windshield with the prop-rod.

3. Don't worry about the standard start/stop system when rock climbing.

There is a defeat switch, and the system is automatically disabled in 4Lo.

4. Exterior hinges were never much of an issue.

Jeep clinic-tested a TJ in the mid-1990s without exterior hinges. "It washated," Allen says.

5. "T50" is stamped into the door hinges.

This tells you the Torx bit size needed to remove the doors.

6. The Wrangler Rubicon's high fenders were inspired.
