Hidden/Buried features of the JT

Easter egg or not? Penastar on fender liners.

Just got my Jeep Wave packet in mail … they actually give you a small Jeep sticker that goes there and it is supposed to tell the dealer you are Jeep Wave (like they don't already know) and to get VIP benefits at Jeep Events (I guess they go around looking for stickers).

edit: oops it say put in top corners windshield - that kind looked stupid. I put at the small recess anyhow.

how long after you purchased your JT did it take to get this packet in the mail? Just got mine about 3 weeks ago, nothing yet for me.

I found out that the windshield wiper switch says FRONT WIPER on it, still looking for the rear wiper.

Sorry it's the OCD in me kicking in that they reused the Wrangler wiper switch and didn't change the text.

You must not have gotten the Overland Mall Crawler Edition. I did and use the rear wiper frequently. Bugs are still pretty bad here and after backing up, really need the feature.

You see that on all sorts of things. I even have that on the seat foam of my Pierre Cardin Javelin. Apparently Chrysler made the foam for those seats. It's on connecting rods, heads, blocks, almost everything that is cast or forged.

You must be Canadian by birth. That dry serious humor.
But seriously, I spent over an hour removing thousands of bugs from my grill, bumper, front edge of hood, windshield - that took some doing - and even the air dam underneath before I swapped bumpers and installed a skid plate.
When I showed my car in 2019, I was one of the only ones there laying UNDER the car removing bugs while other guys were cleaning from the bumper up. I was removing bugs from lower control arms, skid plate, front cross member and other parts. (it's a 4x4 car, sits high) Our bugs are nasty, like super glue.

I worked with several guys that had the same humor, so had to do it to put up with them. I had bugs really bad on my Wrangler grill and had tried to scrub them off using warm water and car soap. I finally sprayed WD-40 on the grill and was able to get them off. I also, read that spraying olive oil on them will help get them off.

It took me a while to notice everything locks. The center console, glove box, under seat storage and the rear seat back. So when the doors come off, don't forget to stow your gear and lock it all up!

I must be a dummy, where Is the key slot to lock the center console? I knew in JKs it was just right on top

You're correct, should be the same spot as JLs. On on the top lid, in the front, passenger side.

Near the handle that opens the console.

My mama said NEVER call anyone pointing a gun at you a dummy - so I won't........ LOL
Up front, to the right of the lever that opens the console lid. It points forward

Hey Papa...hope you invested in a bit od clearbra. If not, should make that job a bit easier and prevent damage from caustic bug guts...
