Where is your window switches at? That’s the first time seeing that panel like that.

It's a Willys Sport, so manual windows and door locks.

But if you don't have doors.... ya don't need power right?!

Well, I was hoping someone else would post again, but I had a busy day.....

Also swapped the stock Sport 5" to the 8.4" w/ JL Mini..... Fantastic swap, the 8.4" is great. I just get roll eyes from the wife

Nice, I love my 8.4" radio, so much better than the Tundra I had.

Gotcha, I didn’t realize that was still an option

Yep, I was shocked too when I test drove it lol. But, liked everything else, and the cabin is small enough to reach around. And with a soft top and a rear window that slides out in 10 seconds, figure the locks are just to keep the honest people out and make us feel a little better.

I drove an F350 crew cab all manual windows/locks for 14 years... now that got annoying at times lol, couldn't reach any of the others while driving.

Does the backup camera work on the new screen?

Yes, backup camera works great. It was a super simple plug and play install, took maybe 10-15 minutes including removing the old one. Definitely a significant improvement to the Sport dash ha.

Even got the Off Road pages working since I had a Tazer mini.

Apple carplay, XM, NAV, all work great like it should.

Scrubbing the JT inside and out, even soaped the box sides and floor and broom-scrubbed that, washed up mats, cleaning everything as my wife want's it clean for the CO trip next week. She's taking some of her sewing/quilting stuff and wants the truck clean and places to put her sewing machine(s) and tables and other stuff.
I dunno how some of you guys do it - clay bar, all the other applications, etc. It's bad enough doing my show cars even the little Eagle getting things cleaned and polished - but a truck, just too much real estate and I'm too old. But it's not NEAR as bad as my Silverado was to clean!
I think when I get back I'm going to HIRE someone to detail it, no holds barred.
Man is that thing beautiful when it's cleaned inside and out. You can see so much of the undercarriage even cleaning the back and bottoms of bumpers, in the wheel wells, the inner liner.....

Emailed the dealer agin to get an update on its arrival…Jeep and the dealer report that it shipped on 6/1. Virginia isn’t that far from Toledo and my prior factory orders arrived in a day.

Distance is irrelevant - you are at the mercy of truck drivers, trains and logistics. IF they don't have a full load, they aren't going to pull out.
Deliver ONE new vehicle on a truck transport? I doubt it.

Installed a Weathertech tailgate liner/protector. I've seen reviews that the holes don't line up etc... They must have revised it, everything lined up perfect.

Installed GoRhino table on my rack.

Rugged Ridge rear inner fenders.

Awesome. Looking to do that someday with my Sport (also all manual). Where’d you pick up the 8.4 screen from? Are you planning to replace the A/C controls as well?

I took delivery of my gladiator 10 days ago and got to drive it for the first time last night. Other than driving it around the dealer and into the trailer to bring it home I had not had a chance.
Today I washed it, removed the eco diesel emblem, gladiator stickers on the quarters, paint corrected and ceramic coated it. I was going to pull theRubicon stickers and Jeep off the front quarters but decided to keep them on for the time being. I have a bad habit of removing all stickers and emblems from every new vehicle. I probably will end up doing it when start modifying it.
Tomorrow I am going to put a couple hundred miles on it.

Installed Hellwig swaybar today... awesome!!!

Looks just like mine ?. With my nfabs, they started to discolor around the steps. I sprayed them with some Amsoil hdmp to prevent any further corrosion. Have been fine ever since spraying them.

I have corrosion on the welds after just one year. Quadratec sent me new ones. I’m thinking of having them linexed before putting them on
