2020 vs 2021 vs 2022

Dunno. My wife has a 21 JLURD and I have a 22. It's the only way I know. I was looking to move an empty to the back seat cup holder and went Wha?

My 21 JLUR has production date 9-20, would it have the select tire fill alert? Is it an option you have to activate or is it automatic because it would be nice airing up after a day on the sand and just hearing a beep? My son has it on his Maxima and because he's lazy to get his tires fixed he depends on it.

My '21 has the cup holders in the arm rest and none on the floor. I understood it was a leather trim thing. I have leather BTW.

One thing I'm very happy with my 2021 is that it has the Tire Fill Alert. From my understanding, jeep stopped including this feature due to chip shortages in 2022 and only a handful of 2020 JLs got it. The nice thing about this is I fill all 4 tires and once and can sit in the jeep or chat with people while my tires fill and then the jeep lets me know when they reach their desired pressure. This feature with my 4 tire device I made making airing up and down a very easy or social experience.

Is airing down / up tires so common on a Maxima that they needed that feature? That's really unexpected.

Maybe they put them in the floor with the Katzen stitched leather….

When you get the optional “regular” leather seats, it includes a rear fold down armrest with built-in cup holders.

Models with standard leather seats, like Sahara Altitude and High Altitude, also come with the rear fold down armrest with built-in cup holders.

Whenever you get the rear fold down armrest there’s no cup holders on the floor.

When you get the Mopar leather seats, or cloth seats, you get no rear center armrest and the cup holders go on the floor, behind the console.

When the dealer adds Katzkin leather to a JL with cloth seats, there won’t be a rear center armrest and the cup holders will be on the floor, behind the console.

In 2022 there is no cupholder on the floor of the back seat, it moved to the back seat as a fold down...

My 2020 is the same.

I have it but I sort of gave up on it. It is really unintuitive.

The real issue for me was I could never figure out how to get it to give me an alert at 34 PSI instead of 37. Again, very unintuitive and nothing I tried worked.

I have it on my 21 and TBH, it's somewhat cool but certainly not something I would get all wrapped around the axle about of it didn't come with it. My portable air compressor has a feature that shuts itself off when it hits the pressure I want and for airing down, a cheap set of AliExpress knock off Stauns works great.
It's a bit of a process to get it up and activated. I don't know why they didn't default it as "always on" instead of the 3 or 4 menus clicks to get it going. It is cool that it turns on your 4ways as soon as you enable it though.

Which tire deflators did you get from AliExpress?

The max is set to what your low psi threshold is. The low limit is 15 I believe, and that might have to do with sensor sensitivity or something. 15 is a great psi for overlanding so I use that a lot, but when I want to do 10 or lower for more crawling or snow wheeling I have to use my pressure gauge on my hose kit.
I find the compressors pump out hot air and I have to fill beyond my cold pressure setting, but I'm not just anxiously waiting for it to honk its horn so by the 2nd or 3rd honk I'm usually there to micro manage it. Doing 4 tires at once will not fill evenly. If you let it sit connected for rouhgly 5min they will all stabilize and be equal, but I'm too impatient for that and just set my dash display to the tire psi readout and disconnect that tire once it reaches the desired psi. I've seen as much as 5psi difference between tires. For 35s I run 33psi cold, but fill to 37psi on the trail to get the right amount of air in the tires due to the hot air; which is actually pressure close to highway warmed up tire pressure.
The whole tire fill alert (TFA) thing is so you can walk away, talk with buddies, change diapers, whatever and not have to babysit the pressure readouts. The first honk is a warning and you're going to want the TFA to let you know you're close and its time to start watching/micromanaging the tire pressures. Its not a "everything is perfect and you're good to go" automated thing. In case you didn't read the owners manual on it, the 2nd honk and 3rd honk are a certain psi above the setting. IIRC correctly 2nd honk is 2psi over and 3rd honk is 3psi over, but I might be remembering that wrong since it wasn't important for how I use TFA so its not info I needed to remember.

LOL, no i was just using that as an example of having the convenience of that feature.

My ‘21 rubicon 4dr XR has the rear cup holders mounted in the center down along the floor
