What we NEED
I really like all the bumpers,rock rails, etc... so far for the JK, but I was thinking about things we need for the JK that seem to not be of much interest to the vendors so far. This isn't a complaint but more of a wth?
1. How about stronger hood latches? I mean we all deal with a major hood flap in the wind that has actually caused some concern for some of my passengers.
2. A pillar gauge mounts. The lower section of the inside a pillar cover could be replaced with one that will hold gauges. How about an oil pressure gauge, battery voltage gauge, transfer case temp gauge etc...
3. A cover to block the massive mud and water flow in the back quarter panel. You know, the one that is covered with a 1/2" thick foam pad. It doesn't work and that area will hold 30 pounds of mud and dirt. Can you say " Hey why did it rust out my body in the back in 3 years?"
4. Better brake pads and rotors. I ran through front and rear brake pad sets before 15000 miles.
5. A programmer that costs less than $200 to reset tire size or one that does more than setting tire size.
6. Wheels. I realize that there are several wheels available, but we could use a larger choice in design.
7. Maybe a different design a pillar driving light bracket that stick out further as not to block the view from inside.
Anyway just some suggestions.

Hood Latch
Yeah Thanks for posting about the Hood Latch... I scare myself everday, let alone any passengers I may have. Plus, I have heard of the rubber stops on the hoods coming out. What is up with that?!

There's a real easy fix for that hood problem.
