Active front headrests (yeah, I know... head "restraints") or headrests that allow adjusting the angle. The OEMs were designed by lawyers, not someone trained in proper ergonomics.

much better clutch, that doesnt feel like its slipping. that or fix the damn tune so it will run better.
wider driver seat, the seat is comfortable but i always have a little pressure on my right hip which is annoying after a while.
one last thing geared better from the factory. why on earth they went to a 3.45 from the 3.73 even with the trailer package is beyond me. other then that i really like my jeep. its my first one, most likely wont be the last. unless of course the clutch explodes and it burns to the ground.... ugh. ...

You might get a better clutch. There's a recall involving the clutch and or pressure plate.

I could tell you, but then....
For the life of me I can't figure out why the back door opens the wrong way. They've done this for as long as I can remember Jeeps having swinging doors rather than tailgates, they open toward the curb side. So say if you're dropping someone at the airport you have to lift the luggage around the door. Compare this to say an FJ Cruiser that has the door swing the opposite direction. Just seems like swinging the door open to the driver side, rather than to the passenger side, would be more usable in most situations.
I'd actually like a drop down gate rather than a swing gate. In a 2 door it gives more floor space for tailgating, sleeping, etc.

Or a dual option pull down or side open. That would be nice.

If you could change anything about your new JL...What would it be? I will start....FIX THE STEERING ISSUE

20200203_115605.jpg
Since I've spent a couple thousand and fixed my steering issues, I've fixed my broken visors, and I'll fix my leaking axle, I guess the only one I can come up with is: I wish the Jeep product line had been sold off to GM and GM was producing it.

I don't know about "trust" toward a vehicle maker. But I'd put my money down on a GM vehicle before I put it down again on a FCA product. But, "trust" isn't a word I'd use in a sentence with FCA either.

I got a Ram, no issues with it aside from the Radio ghosting every halfa year, and even then.

Family had an expedition and a suburban back in the day, guess which one gave the folks issues
