I had the wrong app!!! You just made my day as I was using the SXM Guardian app (gives same functionality - but no watch). I downloaded the Uconnect business one and I can now get both my Jeeps on the same app rather than two apps and on the watch!! You gave me 2 bonuses! Thank you.
Omg I did the same thing. Now I have watch access! Sweet

Anyone know what the button does on the headlight wheel is? Its probably pretty obvious but I couldn't figure it out, just spent a few seconds pressing it earlier and now I'm in bed thinking of it does.

The drain channel on a soft top drains about 4” from the front of the front door when it’s opened so you will get wet....the joys of a soft top....happy to report not a single leak though.

Does anyone else's car make a machine-gun clicking sounds for like 1-2 seconds (like the sound when you try to start a car with a dead battery) when you turn your jeep on "run" and the speedometer hits 120 and comes back down?
I recently installed led lights and have never noticed this sound before (but also never really paid close attention). Sometimes the sounds comes on when I turn my car off. This is KILLINGGGG me.

okay bra you keep posting this so i'd say this.. was the clicking happening before you installed the lights? if yes, then just relax. if clicking is new then it's probable you're responsible for it.

That's the thing - I don't remember if it was making that noise before or not. No codes/CEL thrown or anything. I would just check out another jl at a dealership and see but the closest one with a jl on the lot is 1+ hours away. :(

lolz dude okay okay. turn the main off of the lights/ back to factory and see what happens.

seems to me that if you're noticing it now, you would have noticed it before too, but i'm not you lol

Final note...There is a flag hole in the front bumper on the passenger side, available when you take the endcap off. The flag never hit the hood, as it cants out a bit. This is another nice touch by Mark Allen and his design team, and it lets you know they are real enthusiasts.
I thought this was an interesting piece of info.

Looking at buying this for a daily commuter. it is hard to find a jeep right now with both tops by me. Also storing hardtop will be an issue (I will need to rent storage unit for the summer months). Would you say the soft top is a good year round top now? I live in Boston area.

I get the hard top only verision but I am told soft tops after market may not hit till mid summer

I would have a soft top no matter where I lived, if living in a area that gets snow and cold weather I would probably opt for the premium not the standard top that I have.
