Do you always take all 4 off when you take them off? Even without kids inside, I leave the back ones on so my stuff doesn't fly around. JKs were the same way, so i think that's the reason. They are thinking of folks that run half doorless. I want to take the front ones off and still be able to control the windows in the back. It's intentional.
I get. But I still don't like it. Honestly I drive to much gravel to go doorless.

I suppose it would make sense to put the front ones on the doors, and still put the controls for the back ones on the dash. That's how my wife's old Jetta is, and its doors don't even come off. First time I got in a jeep with power windows, I was fumbling for that switch. I've gotten used to it now.

i JUST got the half doors and it changed my world. I loved running tube (or no) doors but it wasn't practical. Now I can enjoy the world and throw the windows on when I need to. food for thought.

Wireless Apple Car Play(should’ve had this to begin with)
My phone needs charging most of the time, so I’m good with plugging it in. Now, if someone made an automotive wireless charging pad worth a damn, I might reconsider.

It has to be an engine with more power for me. I absolutely love everything else about the JT.
It has style and an attitude at the same time. That is, until you want or need power.

I have a choice between a company truck or get paid mileage to drive the JT. With gas prices the way they are I started driving the F150 with the base V6 that is rating only 5hp and 5tq above the JT.
The F150 absolutely is much more the sprinter than the Gladiator. Why is this V6 still so weak?

But, I still Love my Gladiator. That F150 had no style at all.

Id settle for a larger footwell so my right leg isnt always leaning on something.

Its a trend in jeeps but higher gearing would be cool. stock 4.56 and all that

as far as the mirrors and all...I wish they weren't so small but i would HATE for them to be mounted to the body. Looks extra dumb on the broncos IMO. But maybe a simply modular design where an owner could move them if they removed the doors.

As ide from those small things im beyond happy with the JT as it is. I think they knocked it out of the park with this thing.
Definitely agree there, inside cab is too small
