The bright side of being built low to the ground is if someone drops 20.00 on the floor you will get to it quicker that the V-ball and B-ball peopleI'll be a jockey making dad
I'm 6-1 and its fineI'm a little under 6'2" and have sat in several JLs but not driven them yet .It did seem slightly tight but fine . I've seen multiple posts like yours though and it's making me a little nervous.
You and I have had ours for just about the same amount of time. I agree with all the likes you mentioned, but your dislikes, well...I'm 5'7" and I love the driving position, mine came with the tool kit. I'm with you on the last one...I hate the ESS...training myself to hit the override as soon as I hit start...
Same here on the tool kit. Well, the trail rated kit. Calling dealer about it.So I've had my JL right at 24 hours and driving about 60 miles in it. There are things I love and a couple of things that I consider a problem.
First what I love:
What I don't like:
- Fit and finish seems very tight. Feels very high quality. I love the ergonomics of the controls
- Android Auto
- How it drives. It handles very much like our Grand Cherokee and I think it rides better (to be fair, our WK2 has a 2" lift so it's not exactly apples to apples)
- Performance. The engine/auto-transmission combination works very well together. Seems much better than my JK.
- The driving position. I'm a big guy, 6'3" 300lbs. The lowest setting on the seat puts my eyes way above the instruments so that i'ts hard to see the top 1/4 of the display. The seatbelt is quite snug and leaves little room for movement. To be clear, I never felt at all restricted with my JK's belt. The elevated position also makes it uncomfortable keeping the foot on the gas pedal on a longer drive. My wife once had a Scion XB and it made me feel the same way. Also, with my leg on the gas pedal, my knee is embedded in the transfer case lever. It is very uncomfortable. My wife is 6'0" tall and she feels the same way. To see the instruments completely, I have to recline my seat back considerably, which puts my head directly under the rollbar. In a collision, I would definitely crack my head on the rollbar.
- No toolkit included with mine
- start/stop. I just don't like it.
Someone needs to develop some seat drop and extended brackets for the seat. If anyone knows of any, let me know!
Otherwise, I love the Jeep.
Dealer ordered me another one. I eventually found mine in the cubby hole in the rear in the bag with the license plate frame and window straps.Same here on the tool kit. Well, the trail rated kit. Calling dealer about it.
Window Straps?Dealer ordered me another one. I eventually found mine in the cubby hole in the rear in the bag with the license plate frame and window straps.
Probably the strap that holds the front windshield down when in the down position for speeds over 45mph or when off-roadWindow Straps?
Wow. Who is supposed to teach us about all this... We are first-time Jeep owners and the dealership never even said anything about the window straps, they suck. The more I read about what you all are trying to teach me about, the more aggravated I'm getting. Where would I find these at in the Jeep? Thank youProbably the strap that holds the front windshield down when in the down position for speeds over 45mph or when off-road
I believe I read something about the window straps being an add-on that have to be purchased separately.Wow. Who is supposed to teach us about all this...

Mine didn't come with the toolkit either, so I called my dealership and told them I'd be picking one up when my plates came in. Had to remind them a few times, but that kit is supposed to be standard so I just insisted on them finding one. I actually spoke to their parts department when I went in before checking with the salesperson I worked with, his response kind of led me to believe they may have been removing those kits out of ignorance or a misguided attempt to sell them separately. His initial response was that he would need to charge me for it or have a manager come speak to me. I just walked away and checked with the lady I worked with originally and she'd pulled one for my and kept it in her desk.No toolkit included with mine
My dealer had everything that was included sitting on my front seat.... then went over everything and it’s use. The strap should be included with your manual bag along with top removal kit... when you do the FCA review then ding them on the items they didn’t go over with you... they should’ve programmed your phones to the U connect system...this forum will have a list of everything a dealer should show you. Not my first Jeep so I already knew how to do everything but to a new owner it can be a little daunting....Wow. Who is supposed to teach us about all this...
