For deep cleaning tires I'll use soft scrub and a stiff, short bristle brush (like what you'd use to clean tile etc). I do try and keep a good coat of wax on my wheels to make those easier to clean up.

Wow, I must be the lucky one. OnX Off-road works perfectly for me. No real complaints at all. I live in the wilds of Wyoming where there's no cell service more than there is cell service. Offline maps is about all I use.
I went the under front seat route. It works great and I lost ZERO storage space !!!
While it's no competition setup it certainly makes a huge difference (that with the MB Quart front speaker swap-out).

I got a similar product and works great but it I'm no way "seals" the tailgate. There are.re way too many gaps, holes, cracks...to let dust in.

Holy sh..t, I'm driving the cr@p out of mine. Oct 2021 delivery and I'm over 12k now. After the "tick" fix it's running great. The honeymoon was over for a while but in love again !
6 weeks, I called Jeep Wave and they expedited the parts.
Worsening gas mileage and loud tick with doors off (barely noticeable with doors on, windows up etc). No CEL
No CEL.
Started as a slight tick that you'd notice between buildings/trees/canyon walls etc. The JT is a well sealed, dare I say quiet machine so it was hard to hear. Once I took the doors off, oh boy could I hear it then ! When the dealer looked at it, the doors were back on and it was hard...
Something to note, my gas mileage was suffering since new. I hadn't done any mods in months so no real changes yet my gas mileage went from almost 20mpg to lucky if I'd get 17mpg.
After the repair, my gas mileage has returned and averaging 19.9 !!!
Yes, that's what I found. I could not duplicate in the garage revving the engine etc but on the road under load, above 2k it would tick. With the doors off it sounded like a rod knocking !
Only if they also made tan soft doors. Tan top and black doors would look silly
I think my white w/bronze wheels with a tan top would look pretty freaking cool.
Lifelong buddy who's wife is on her second Jeep, drive her JK and fell in love (with the Jeep). I've been a BMW fan my whole adult life and this is my first Jeep. Needless to say, my supercharged, track prepped BMW is collecting dust in the garage and all my spare time is spent in/on the Gladiator !
Trying to get us back on track...
Since our vehicles won't go into gear if the door is open couldn't we simply put a switch inline with the door trigger that fools the Jeep into thinking the drivers door is open and simply won't go into gear? And instead of having a on/off switch that can be...
