This is my plan as well. I'm going to be getting my seats re-done sometime soon and while they're out for that, I was going to pull up the carpet and put something down. Not sure I'm going to go armorlite, but some kind of sound deadening for sure.
Following up on this thread, I decided to take a road trip and grab a used top from Alabama. I used the trip as an opportunity to test sound levels. Keep in mind idling registers at about 68-70 dB, so you can't really go lower than that.
All the numbers below were at the same speed, on the same...
Okay, so first I totally agree with the level of aggravation you have towards this. I would be pissed too that Jeep can't seem to get their act together. In all of this, I feel like Bestop and the dealership are trying to do right by you and Jeep is the one standing in the way of progress.

The hood plunger for instance will trigger an error condition, so disconnecting it was a strange idea. You want it to be connected and fully functional. The goal...
Used? Yes. But in different configurations...parallel in a cold start, independent in an ESS start.
As per the techincal information provided from Jeep, this is accurate. Should be no surprise here.
Yes, in parallel. Sufficient SOC is one of the parameters required for ESS to engage.
Because...
