For all those JL Sport buyers (I guess JLU Sport buyers can come too)! Bask in your stripped down homage to the days of the CJ as you hand crank your windows, wonder what the premium soft top is like, potentially wish you had A/C, and cringe at the sight of your base-ass rims.

Who's ordered one? Who's ordered or taken delivery of the most basest JL? Anyone ordered the ultimate purist version--a 2 door manual trans with no A/C?

Unless I end up hitting a minor lottery, or getting a nice raise at work, I think my sights are dead on a JL Sport, 6MT, leaning softtop, undecided on A/C.

OIIIIIIIO

I was thinking to buy bare bones, but one thing lead to another and got this with everything instead:

I don't think it saves a lot of money getting all that stuff after the fact. Maybe you'll enjoy doing it all yourself as a hobby but I got a base model because I don't want that stuff.

That’s what I thought. Thanks guys.

Does anyone find the flip key kinda a pain and bulky to unlock the doors and then use the push button start? Anyone modify their key to make a smaller key on a normal key chain and hide the fob inside your Jeep?

This exactly! when I read that my initial thoughts were, "Why not Rubicon?" but I Guess if he really wants to do it himself....

Is it just me, or does hiding the fob inside the Jeep have some possible downside, like a person who doesn’t actually own your Jeep driving off with it, perhaps?

I have a base model JLU sport. I do however have AC. But I love the manual trans and windows and soft top. Have already put new front bumper, a-pillar lights, hitch, mesh top over the front half, and bought a cargo basket for the hitch. Couldn't be happier with how its coming along.

Every mod you mention must be accompanied by at least one picture, or it didn't happen!

Anyone got pics of the stock JL steelies with LT285/70R17 tires on em?

I'm looking at a '18 JL brochure, and it states the Uconnect 3 with 5" is not compatible with iPhone. I wonder why the brochure says that? Anyone have an issue with the Bluetooth not sinking up or no being compatible with their iPhone?

There are pouches you can get that block the signal. They would have to locate that and remove the fob it for the keyless ignition to function. We use one at the beach.
