Its black PVC rod holders with marine grade black bungee cords holding them on through spare. I put some rubber pads on back of rod holder to make sure it doesn’t scratch spare rim. Amazon DIY, but it seems solid.
Brought my Willys in for manual-flash recall today and pointed out to tech that I get actual spray inside of vehicle at both passenger doors. Touch-less carwash. Also dribbles in at hatch corners. On doors It comes in at latch where roof meets door and body. Not sure on back. They inspected...
Just drove it again.. it might be my imagination or over-analysis, but it actually feels a little more torquey/jumpy (in a good way). I’ll be interested to see what other people think.
