Factory performance engine option. 350hp/300tq would be a godsend for those of us giving up sports cars for these. Doesn't need to be a hemi. My outgoing Audi can do 333hp/300tq in a 3 liter supercharged V6 and even more with a tune all with a ridiculously linear power delivery. I know they're not supposed to be rocket ships but a little more power would make the JL a do it all monster.
Came here to say this. The lack of torque on the V6 is very strange to me, especially something that has a towing package. Such a high strung little engine, just the opposite from what's needed on an off-road rig.

Were happy the dog hasn’t figured out how to roll the windows down. She figured out how to open the Tahoe and Silverado windows.

Auto up windows. The entry level Honda that I traded in had no auto-headlamps and no variable wipers, but it did have auto up and down front windows.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Bigger gas tank for the 2 dr. Sure we get a bit better mpg than 4 doors, but not 4 gallons better!

I’ll add my vote for Auto Up Windows (with or without a Fart sensor). I’m going to sprain something trying to twist my fingers so I can get all the windows up at the same time.

Other than that I haven’t found anything that I really wish I had. So far...

There are plenty of tech features that I’m fine living without on my Rubicon b/c too many gizmos would seem out of character. In fact there are features I didn’t want that are on the options list - adaptive cruise for example. Perhaps the Sahara could use a few more luxury features to fit its mission.

I know this thread is decades old, but for anyone who doesn't know, you can manually download and install the ORP yourself now.

I had a dealer install them when the TSB came out early this year. Been using them all summer off-reading in CO and they work great.

I came to the JL from the same engine (S4). That really is a great engine and kind of spoils you :).
