1st trip to dealer. In 20 minutes early. Out in 1hr. Oil change, tire rotation, fluid check and a wash.
Was a little skeptical, ended up being pleasantly impressed. I have never taken a car into dealer for any NON have to's. Got 4 services with Jeep Wave and bought a service package including 20 additional services for $300 bucks when I bought it. To good to pass up.
Oh and ordered me a K&N air cleaner element.
Did you receive your Jeep Wave info in the mail after signing up? My dealership didn't even mention it to me. Had to find it and sign up on my own. But I haven't received anything yet and it's been about a month.

Can you provide any more detail on the hi lift mount? I have been looking for one like that for a soft top.
Its from dominion offroad off jeep swag. https://www.jeepswag.com/shop/shop/...l-4-door-hi-lift-jack-mount-kit-2018-jeep-jl/
Install is super easy. Only downside is to drop the top completely you have to remove it and reinstall it. It will do sunrider just fine with it installed though. Its only 2 14mm nuts to take on and off, maybe 2 mins tops, really easy. I made some wedges for the mechanism of the jack its self to stop the rattling and put an o-ring on the top post in the bracket to eliminate any potential metal on metal rattle locations. It does not block the rearview and it will support a shovel and axe mounted to it as well. Im very happy with the product. Keeps my jack out of the elements and out of potential thieving eyes. With the de-rattling mods I dont even know its there now. Worth the 70 bucks!

@Jeepneck, My dealer never mentioned it to me either, but luckily I knew about it...I signed up online and it took about a month and a half to receive anything in the mail. You should be able to use the website for full access to your Wave account.

Backup camera is actually a little better since it sits a little further out with the high offset beadlocks. .
Any suggestions on how I can extend my backup camera? I put on 18x9 with +1 offset Fuel Assault wheels with 285/70/18 Ridge Grapplers. And we lost a little of the view on the camera b/c it doesn't extend far enough.

Rubicon JLU. It's a Jeep.
Yesterday I installed my Hothead Headliners, which are working well so far and an easy install, though worth taking the time to do it properly.

Today I Plasti Dipped the Jeep and Trail Rated badges and added a set of 6 GPCA Tie-down D-Plates for extra cargo attachment points.

Have you noticed a difference in temperature or noise difference with the hothead headliners? Also is the hothead headliners fabric able to have velcro attached to it? I want to be able to velcro patches of where i've traveled to the headliners. Thanks!

It hasn't been as hot over here since I installed it, hovering around 97F so haven't experienced it at hight temps yet, but in the high 90's the difference between touching the bare inner roof with or without the Headliner is pronounced (after letting the Jeep sit in the sun for a while.
Without making actual measurements, the perceived heat difference/comfort level with the Headliner is better.
It is quieter driving with the Headliner installed, particularly at higher speeds but I haven'r checked the dB level.
The boxy sound inside the cab is also greatly improved.
Suffice to say I'm pleased and consider it a worthwhile purchase.

I can't give you a definitive answer re hook & loop fasteners (Velcro™ being a trademark and all ;) ) but the fabric does feel the same as material I have attached things too and my assumption is that you could. I'd ask Hothead Headliners (the link is in my post above), they're really good at responding to questions and they're also on here.
Bare in mind that while very securely attached you probably don't to add too much additional weight.

Yea... stealth mode.... have thought of the locks but assume I'll use they key (!) at least a few times over time so might skip it.Very easy to do btw, just make sure you apply thin coats to start with and ideally coat around 12 times for best results.

12 coats of plasti dip? I've watched several videos by the plastidip folks and talked with them...6-7 coats was recommended

Unfortunately due to how the camera is mounted in the housing I don't see a way to extend it without going to an aftermarket carrier. I had to cut/modify my camera housing to fit with my bumper/tire carrier which allowed it to sit further out, but I don't think you could do the same if you are still using the factory carrier.
Sorry I don't have a solution for you.
