It's apparent Rubicons/their owners don't need molle panels on back of seats their gonna install panels on every interior and exterior surface anyways ; ) lolz

Mojave owners are the cool kids now LOL

This seems to be hit or miss and kind of weird.

Now let’s be fair, I would probably make better use of a seat back pocket than the Molle panels I have now anyways. Lack of rubicon stitching, unacceptable.

Funny how so much shit is missing yet prices higher than ever...

Yep, this is why I ended up buying a used 2021 JTR that matched exactly what I was planning on ordering on a 2023. It was somewhat of a unicorn but happened to pop up for sale out of state and I bought it. Even though used prices are still slightly elevated, I didn’t want to pay for a 2023 that was missing random things that other model years had, yet priced higher than ever.

In fact, when I went to order my ‘23, the quote from the dealership (one of the ones well-regarded on here and this is NOT their fault) was $2K higher than what the Jeep website quoted as MSRP (we know the Jeep website was a bit behind in terms of pricing and detail). I earn a decent income and could afford a new one with the under invoice pricing and affiliate code but it got to a point where I just didn’t want to pay those prices.

I understand supply chain issues and the current economy but there’s also a point where I don’t want to reward what I consider to be bad behavior on the part of Stellantis. I get that they need to make a profit but to me, these little things that are missing and are obvious cost-cutting measures really do add up.

This might not be so much a 23 model year as a built in 23 issue

Perhaps the build date gives some insight mine was built November 28th. I hate paying the same price for not getting them more than actually not getting them I put bartact covers and on so ether way I still have some.

Mine was built 10/25. Theres no recourse for this from Jeep, is there? Just gotta eat it, or go aftermarket.

This is weird stuff.

Can you post the seat description that's on your window sticker?

Please check your window sticker and post the description of the seats and where, off anywhere, the molle panels are listed.

My build sheet mentions nothing of molle panels...2021. It has them. I'm not sure I've ever seen them mentioned.

I have a line item for behind seat rear storage too but I figured that was referring to the rear seats.
