Were these ever released? I don't see any mention on the website or my email. I just spent a few nights sleeping in the bed. I was a bit nervous I would accidently lock myself in.
I went to adjust my Oculus Bi-LED headlights today and found that a 5mm allen fit better than a 3/16. Also if you have a bin of loose freebie allen wrenches, chances are that 50% of them are 5mm, only 1% are 3/16.
That explains a lot. I opened the letter and went straight to the proposed remedy assuming it was for the clutch pressure plate. It said the solution was to replace the 'tailgate controller' and I was pretty confused.
I have smoked the clutch twice and both times were under some load in reverse. Once I was stuck in mud, the other was backing up a trailer. Why is reverse so hard on the clutch on the JT?
This is an old thread, but seems like a good place to post. I made some custom 3D printed clips for attaching light strings to the JT. There's 1 design for attaching to the gutter on the hard top and 2 designs for the gaps around the hood.

I wanted some tie downs for the roof of my SmartCap. I used stainless anchors and added some patina so they weren't so shiny. Then they bolted right on with some stainless M8-1.25 bolts
I added power and a switch in the bed as well. Instead of adding them to the existing plastic plate, I designed a new plate from scratch. For now it's 3-D printed in ABS plastic. Eventually I'd like to mill this out of Aluminum.
The STL of the plate is available at...
For a trailer camera, I installed this:

It's not nearly as good quality as the JT rear camera, but it's decent. I really only use it for parking. The trailer gets pulled by a few different vehicles and it's easy to move the monitor between them...
I just installed a Smittybilt Gen2 XRC. My Rubicon halogen fog lights would have fit, but I changed to some after-market LED fogs. It comes with adapters for different styles of fogs and can even take a cube light.
Ordered EVO Sport 4/11/22 from @OffroadAlliance.com (a month before I got my JT)
Shipment notification 9/22/22
Arrived 9/28/22.
Now I just need to find the time to unpack and install it.
Technically the offer from Gupton is good for that day only because factory pricing might change the next day. In reality, the quote is going to be good as long as the prices don't change from Stellantis. I waited about 5 days before putting down the deposit on mine and there was no price...
I didn't, but there was a car shipper picking up when I was there. I think you just have to complete all the closing paperwork electronically and then they'll release the car to whoever you setup to ship it back.
Just picked mine up. 60 days from order to ready at the dealer:

Picked mine up on Tuesday. I ordered on 2/28 and it was ready for pick up 60 days later. I took a leisurely drive home and stopped by Badlands off road park in Attica, IN on the way home.
