Hidden/Buried features of the JT

[MarineHawk]

LOL Love it. Sound like something my son might say. (that's a compliment, by the way)

I get it. I have two sons. I have about the mental maturity of my younger 12-yr-old--if that.

Why would Jay give a rip about this Question?

Hey @Troybilt I don’t know if @JAY would give a rip about this or not. I just know that he seems to know who to go to about things for questions. That’s why I asked him.

If you haven't looked at the front of the bed, where the motorcycle treads are, and looked closely, you'll see a 5 slot grill (7 if you count the treads), with square headlights and round turn signals below.

A better picture. Once seen, can't be unseen.

Would have been cooler if 7 slats and headlights, looks like 5 slats and headlights to me

Isn’t it that way on the tailgate too? I’d look, but mine’s in D1 for the holidays.

No, on the tailgate it’s different... it’s more like a perfect fit for a magnum size (1500 ml) bottle of sparkling wine! Happy holidays to the Jeep Gladiator community!!!

The seven slot grill is found numerous places. On the cowl, under the hood over the headlights are another set.

Any idea if there’s a way to get a photo of the 419 build crew with my JT? Just a nice posed snap, hidden away in the glove box; smiling workers with the Punk’n on the line.

The spooky ghost noise when going in reverse is pretty cool

But really... I’m sure it’s not their intended purpose, but I use the rubber blocks that come with the Freedom panel bag to wedge the bag and panels into place in the bed. Keeps them from sliding around while driving.

The cutout in the center console to allow the phone cable to pass through is a good idea.

Found it a good idea to label on the door hinges which Torx to use, but found it odd it isn’t labeled anywhere else (that I’ve found).

I really like that they’ve integrated a drain hole in the sunk in portion for the windshield bolts. That’s a decent look for getting rid of standing water.

A feature I like in theory but dislike in practice is the phone holding slot between the cup holders. It’s not deep enough and the phone just bounces around.

I don’t understand why the door locks are on the doors but the window controls are in the center stack. Why not just put a central lock by the window controls to keep it all in one place? AND cut the cost of an additional lock and more expensive doors. Surprised the bean movers didn’t voice on that one.

I’ve got more, but I’ll check in later.

It's not a phone holder. It holds your key fob

On the driver side of the windshield is a small recess in the black dot periphery for your oil change sticker

Hey @JAY I think that @glady8or has a great point. Do you know why Jeep does not make it so the hoods can be locked shut? Know who at Jeep can comment on this? Thanks much.

And yes I know. Go doorless and anyone could reach inside release an inside lock.

Anyone else here have a good suggestion for this?

I added a DV8 off road hood locking hold downs and replaced the clamps. You can look at it in my build thread. It is not bullet proof but you need a key to open it or a pretty heavy duty bolt cutter . I mainly added that to secure what is under the hood and to keep the hood from flapping up and down in some harsh conditions.

Steering wheel media controls
Right side back of steering wheel - top/bottom of switch controls radio volume, center of switch controls source (AM, FM, XM...)..

The volume of the guidance system can be set with this switch while audible guidance is active.

Left side back of steering wheel - top/bottom of switch controls tuning up and down, center of switch controls saved favorites.

It hides the VIN number nicely from the police.
