Top 10 things Jeep should have done

[aldo98229]

I wish Jeep offered a factory-installed TrueTrac helicoidal LSD instead of the clutch-operated Trac-Lok.

1. Stop water from running into the Jeep when the doors are open when its wet outside
2. A front window defroster that actually exits the whole vent opening at equal speed and heat. Instead it blasts out from the center section and trickles from the ends where is really matters.
3. 35's with proper gearing and suspension from factory as an option all models
4. Modular hard top with removable side and rear windows
5. Dana 44 axle options front and rear on all models
6. Lockers front and rear as an option all models
7. Rubicon fenders as an option all models
8. LED lighting package standard on all models
9. Lower pricing
10. Lower pricing

Bonus: Built in coffee maker and years supply of your coffee choice

Hell, I would be glad if they just made a sensor for the rear locker on the Rubicon that didn't fail and require the replacement of the whole axle. I find it fucking ridiculous that a guy can figure out that if you drill two holes in the sensor and fill it with silicone that it will not fail or a company can make a wiring harness to bypass the sensor and yet Jeep and Dana has not been able to fix the problem in three years. How hard can it be to properly seal up a sensor so that diff fluid does not leak into it?

Rubicons getting three and four axle swaps over a bad sensor. WTF Jeep, Jeep Engineers, Dana Engineers and FCA in general. Get your shit together. Stop making @JeepCares apologize for your short commings.

This should be a no brainer for FCA to prioritize due to cost savings, efficiency and customer service. It should have been fixed over a year ago. @JeepCares Please pass this up the ladder to FCA corporate.

A small nitpick thing nobody mentioned.. a sun visor that when extended covers the entire drive side window. No matter what, the sun seems to find that 2” gap right into my eyes (I did say it was nitpicking ).

Lots of other good suggestion that I won’t repeat.

I think the road planners just make it that way

You know they slide / extend , right?

Wait, there's More ; fold flat front passenger seat on 2 and 4 doors, like the Compass and Renegade had ; 60/40 split rear seat for 2 door, easy removal for either section, leaving one in place.

Everything is hooked up to the dome lights. I sent a video but I guess it can’t be opened. hope this helps.

found them in all kinds of colors but white

nah - still not enough. there's always that spot just above the mirror. I swear the surveyors and engineers who lay out the highways calculate those angles just right...

FYI - they have #5 as a $4500 option. But it comes with a free diesel engine thrown in!

LOL good one... well.. I carry long items like that on the roof... but I see you have a softtop

You put things on the roof?!! Maybe it's just me, but that fiberglass seems too thin to support much weight.

nop.. I never do it for trips and such.. only when I need to carry a large item for a couple miles.. Here I am transporting 20 foot round tubing and flat bar from a local metal supplier back home (just a couple miles)

It will support more than you know..... I have no idea how much that cargo weights, I heard it is not polite to ask.

looks to be about 720 lbs of support for a dynamic load

Wow...kidding aside, you're lucky it didn't collapse in the middle towards the rear. Orthopedic surgeon's dream..

I would have bet a lot of money that there was no way it would support that. The roof weighs around 100lbs, total. And half of that has to be glass.

I made a single fiberglass roof to replace the T-top panels for my 2000 Trans Am once (made into racecar). It was 3 layer medium weave, around the same size as both Freedom panels, and weighed around 15 lbs. It was barely structural enough to not deform at race speed.

I am baffled.

Gas door cover standard from the factory.......how much could that really cost?
