2023 Gladiator Rubicon without plastic molle panel behind driver and passenger seat?

[Hootbro]

Tomorrow thing. It is cold and dark and I get scared easily in the dark. I will just clutch my teddy bear tonight when I am sleeping and get through it.

In my case, it's the coyotes out there and I am NOT joking. You can hear them and in the morning I can see the tracks in the snow all around my shop and the edges of the yard and something that's larger than most house cats has been leaving tracks in the snow. I'm tempted to take my rifle out with me every time I go out after dark lately.

Looking around at 2023's on the lots near me, and it does appear that there are none on the cloth seat models.

Yeah, it is foxes and skunks in my area. While my development is somewhat suburban, the lots are large like 1-2 acres and it butts up against a large wooded area. Plus there is no street lights and it is darker than a well diggers ass crack outside at night. Foxes I am not afraid of, it is risk of bumping into a skunk I worry about at night.

Wow that's weak.

Well that’s a bummer. Jeep can’t really blame $5 worth of plastic and straps on a microchip shortage. I wonder what else they have cheaped out on.

That looks weird

We have quite a few packs of coyotes in my area, but this month I found a good size mountain lion track in the yard. It jumped our 6 foot wall and roamed around the back for a bit.

I wonder if the panel delete is due to a supply chain issue, like when they would give you a credit for the bed electrical plug or some other option they couldn't build.

Have a 22 jtm that used to be cloth, and it definitely had Molle from the factory. Definitely a MY23 change and definitely bullshit. The nickel and diming on what's already a truck with a premium price is getting ridiculous.

Put some Bartact seatcovers on it to get seatback Molle area.

Still weird as my son has a 2018 JLUR with cloth that has the plastic Molle panel.

Wait is over. I have the Molle setup on my seats.

Nothing mentioned about Molle in the 2023 options:

Also noticed the Tow Package and Aux Switches don't mention an upgraded battery anymore. Wonder if the 700 is standard now?

Not even listed in Standard Features. I notice the seats don't have the Rubicon name on them, either.

Now THAT is weird....

Chip shortage on the sewing machine?
