Why isn’t this factory? Full Hotheads Headliner, with an OEM+ twist.

[jay21mojave]

The one I bought lol. Sticker was $73k; 2023 Diesel Rubicon without any safety packages, no Bluetooth speaker or extra decals.

Super, You got what you wanted - excellent choice and decision.

Looks great, do you have a link to that paint ? How many coats and or cans were utilized ?

Yeah, I’m with wild taco on this one. They already paint the hard top factory colors, take 2 minutes to spray the inside black at least. Us Jeep guys will buy anything as cost is rarely an issue. Anything over $40K deserves an option. They do sell a headliner, and it’s decent, just give it a quick spray - add $125 and call it a day.

I bought six but ended up using only 4 full cans spraying 3 medium coats per instructions on the can.

Excellent addition and installation! Luckily, I haven't done anything to my top since I've had the JT so it's still factory. Looks like I've got a project on my hands now

Thank you! Definitely recommend it. I drove it around most of the day yesterday and it's a nice quality of life improvement. I tested to see if it's any quieter using Decibel X app but found that the sound levels are almost exactly the same. The acoustics are definitely better though. Now to find the source of that sound bar rattle...

If you ever find that rattle, please let me know lol. It's been driving me crazy on my wrangler.

Hoping to find it before my cross country road trip that's in under 2 weeks ?

Eh that’s a lame excuse for a $70k truck. I’d be happy to pay extra for that option. Their vendor already paints the top black on the outside so it’s not too much additional steps for a much cleaner looking product.

Yep that is what is wrong with the market today. Everyone thinks that its ok for manufacturers and dealerships to just charge extra for everything when many things should be standard on current vehicles with the prices being charged. I don't know how many times I heard "Its the Jeep way" when I got my JT and just kept thinking well it is if everyone just lets it go at that. Ah you want LED lights gotta pay premium, Ah you want back up sensors well ya gotta pay a premium for that. Oh you want a steel bumper well that is upcharge as well, Ah you want your hard top panels painted better well that is another upcharge (LOL). Its the Jeep way

I had an issues with a rattle behind me that turned out to the cable that is connected to the sliding rear window rattling against the glass. Maybe something the check.

Thanks, I'll check on that. There's definitely one in the soundbar though because I can make it go away by putting pressure on it.

I'm in South Florida and have zero issues staying cool with the AC on, and I don't need to keep it above half or so while driving around. Personally I've never understood the need for these, though I'm not hating, I'm glad they are being made. Also, great install and it looks great.

Hell we are cooking here in Texas and I have a soft top and the A/C keeps it fine in my truck

Dang, that looks killer!

This looks good, but I thought about a different color (my Rubicon is Sting Gray). Ultimately, I installed the Hot Head Headliner (in gray) but left the exposed fiberglass white. At the time, we were living in Southern Nevada, and triple digit temps and black can be a tough combination.
