Default JK innovations

The Chrysler Advisory Board had an interesting question the other day. They asked:
What types of features, capabilities or functions would you like to see in your vehicle that are not currently found in any automobile (including other manufacturers)? These can be entirely new ideas or ideas from other industries.
So I'm just wondering what are your thoughts specific to the JK.

Here are mine:
  • Wheel cameras for technical offroading
  • Water sensor in the fan that will turn the electrical fan off temporarily for water crossings, or a button in the cab that will keep the fan off for 30 seconds
  • inclinometer (pitch and roll) with warnings
  • complete gauge package

Ya Toyota has that in the bed of the trucks (Tacoma) and in the inside cargo areas of some. Pretty cool, 400 watt system. That would be nice in a JK.

1) Built in CB
2) Clinometer would be cool tgrt
3) hmm... Ill think more on this

If it can't be found on any other production vehicle as a qualifier, then I vote for machine guns that come out of the headlights. Otherwise I think your ideas are pretty good.

110 outlet in the front between the driver and passenger. 110 and 12v in the rear cargo area.

Tinted polycarbonate in the freedom top panels. Like mini sunroofs.

Dana 60's as an option.

37" sneakers.

Factory winch.
