Please comment on driving with the power top open (fully or partially) at highway speeds. Does the top itself contribute to the noise level? Is there buffeting that is annoying? How much flutter is there of the canvas?
Thanks very much!

Will this new JL Wrangler make my girlfriend less crazy? Additionally, can it take care of my outstanding tax bill? Dilly Dilly! Sorry, just got caught up in it all.
Dilly dilly!

Can you demo taking the hard top off- all 3 pieces. It’s said to be 20% lighter. Would love to see how easy it is.
Thanks!!

(To ask the questions we don't know to ask.)
After their hands-on experience:
What surprised them most about the JL?
What were they most impressed with?
What were they most disappointed with?
What new/changed feature is going to drive JL owners crazy?

-I've read that the Rubicon can go straight to 35" tires, but am confused as to what has to be done in order to do this with the Sahara or Sport.
-Thoughts on where to mount additional radio gear such as CB and VHF/UHF plus any insight on aftermarket antenna mounts such as on the spare carrier.
-location of fuse panel and best places to tap into 12v power for extra gear.
-is the 110v adaptor available on Sport/S

Initial reactions and impressions of spacing and comfort in the backseat as compared to the JK. Does the extra legroom and greater recline angle add that much more comfort? Or will passengers still be complaining over long car rides?

SAHARA QUESTIONS
-How does the Sahara rear axle compare to a JK Sahara rear 44? Strictly talking strength wise
-How hard is it to remove the power top given Jeeps "recommendations against it"
-In your recent video released 12/18 you had the Sahara in MOAB. What engine did you have? It seemed like it took you quite a bit of pedal to get movement up the large 'slick' rock face. How would you compare this against a JK (you said you had one there in the video) did it seem any more or less "stressful" on the Jeeps engine or components, or was this just simply you being extra cautious with the new toy!?!?
-BRAKES! Size comparison of the overall measurement between JL and JK calipers/rotors....are 16" rims going to be an issue?....can we fit 15s?!
-Can you remove the rear window panels, doors, and retract the top to give us a good look at the "naked" power top look? (and glass rear window assuming it comes off)

RUBICON QUESTIONS (since you drove one at the AZ demo)
-When wheeling comparing it to a JK, did the flat hood, and raised fenders give you any less visibility?...not a big concern, just curiosity
-When you had the JKU Rubi and JLU Rubi side by side, what was your general impression in person, seem a lot larger? Clearance comparison?
-DID YOU SEE A CLOTH SEAT RUBICON AND IF SO WHAT WAS THE DASH COLOR AND STITCHING COLOR?! :cwl:

ENGINE PREFERENCE
-you drove them, did you prefer the 2.0 or the standard 3.6 more? Did you like one better on road than off road / vice versa?

GENERAL
-Can you give us a good video demo of the 8" screen, of how fast and responsive it is...crank up those alpines let us hear em! Comparison to the JK audio system?

With the Hard top... Can the back side windows be removed on all hard top variations? Or is that only an option with the power slide hard top? What happens with the back window? Can that also be removed?

I saw the standard hard top at the DFW show. Back side windows are not removable.
