Isn't that are identical on all models?
No.
The upper trim levels/more options have things (like an inverter) & wiring harnesses in the way, making access to the SG difficult, to say the least.

A big HAH to you guys with the upper trim levels!
On the Sport & Sport S trims without all the geegaws, reaching the SG is straightforward.
Don't even need the extensions!

My old 2020 Wrangler Sport S gateway access was easy. My 2020 Gladiator Sport S is not. Guess it all depends on how it is optioned.

This is why I keep kids and a wife with small hands in stock at all times.

It could be worse. A nut in the frame won’t really make much noise if any. My foxbody has a push rod stuck somewhere in the K-member from when I did my head swap. Been trying to find it for 6 years now. It is a noisy SOB.

'Tis true. with a loaded Overland it's a real pain to reach, but it's worse when you are 65, 30 pounds too heavy, have back issues and arthritis and hands damaged by saws, hammers, pinched by axles and more........
There was a time when I could re-wire an instrument cluster without taking the dash clear apart simply by laying in the vehicle with my feet up in the air over the back of the seat. These days it would take fire and rescue folks to get me back out!
Enjoy it while you can, kids, and take care of your back!!!!!

I haven't lost my nuts yet.
Me either. They're on the shelf, right where my wife put them.

Speaking of lost nuts, are they considered "lost" when you know the general area they're in? Like they fell down, bounced off the rail/suspension, rolled down the driveway, and hid somewhere in the grass? I know they're there, just taking a nut vacation.

I'm telling you, a micro black hole was coincidentally called into existence at the exact moment and position of the falling nut. I never even heard a knock.

somewhere in the universe is a ever growing mass of random nuts, bolts, and socks.

I got small kids and a wife that loves to complain about anything and everything. the compressor is loud enough where it is, I can only imagine the cry's if they had to sit in there for 7 minutes with the compressor in the cab screaming.

In the end, I ran the chuck to the front bumper and the switch to one of the factory aux switches. I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

I already had a four-tire inflation hose I built a while back.
