Dan, thanks for making the video! And the interior looks great.

Do you have cloth seats? If yes, are they black or grey? In a lot of the pictures the seats look grey.

If you do another video can you show the seats in good lighting? They interior of your Jeep looks awesome.

They are cloth and I can assure you they are black. They really look great!

I don't know why, but even these pics make it look more grey than they are to the naked eye. This is my first aid kit attached to the molle webbing on the back of the seat. The first of a lifetime of modding for this baby!

Ok, you asked for it, you got it! Remember, this is all just my opinion.



I've got about 160 miles on it now, mainly country roads and city streets, and I'm loving the clutch, shifter, and transmission more and more. At this point, I would not change a thing. I did a short highway stint, as well, and I thought the gearing was perfectly matched for this Jeep. I could not be happier! It is vastly different than the JK, but it I've now got a feel for it and the shift points and action are now natural and very comfortable. It rivals my 06 Pontiac Soltice for best clutch/shift action I've driven.

It is so well matched, I'm having some second thoughts about a lift and 35's. Hmmm. We'll see!

Well done, Jeep!
Thank you so much for doing the review. I can't wait for my manual

GJ on the vid! I am def tempted to get the manual but for those of us that commute regularly I got tired of clutches years ago. Maybe a test drive will change my mind.

Essentially your phone is trying to capture a higher dynamic range with more detail in the blacks. So blacks tend to look like grays so that you can see more shades of black.

Thanks for that! I’ll be ordering a manual once I can order Mojito, but I don’t expect to get to drive one first, so I appreciate this video.
Same here. I am waiting on Mojito! to open up..also with a manual. This waiting is killing me

Lol, that hat is a pirated ebay Jeep knockoff I bought for about 4 bucks on Ebay years ago. Its one of the most high quality caps I've ever bought!
