The "middle" 7" screen with accompanying audio is more than adequate. Took the JT on the highway with the top off today, speakers kept up incredibly well.
Also interesting in my JT, the top off entirely somehow has less wind blasting your head than with just the freedom panels off. Both wife and I noticed that today.
I think it sounds plenty good enough, this is a tent on wheels, not a studio control room. Also I did find the 5” screen kinda poverty spec but the 7” and accompanying tech is very nice. Overall just love the interior.
The 5" is embarrassing and shouldn't be std on a vehicle that price.
The interior is absolutely awesome

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

I just noticed leather !
Another clue/insight into the deets on the spec! Stay tuned for next week when we see another key feature!
All joking aside that is a very very good looking jeep. Would love to know about the soft top operation, I could see myself going with it if the day comes where we pick one of these up.

Took the freedom panels off and cruised around. It was a perfect day.

My wife has gotten pretty good at taking the panels off and putting them back on. She did it today when she went to her friend's house. I'm actually surprised by how often she takes the panels off. She loves it.
She has no interest in taking the rest of the top off though, she said it seems like too much of a pain, even after watching me take the top off my truck in under 5 minutes. I really enjoy driving with the roof all the way off.

I’d love to take the whole roof off, but we want to keep the back on so the kiddo has some protection.
It’s crazy easy to take the panels on and off. And they don’t leak!

Honestly, you get 90% of the top off experience with just the panels when you're in the front. It really would be a PITA to get the roof off a 4-door, you'd do it one time, enjoy it, but never do it again. And it's probably best to keep protection over the kiddo until she's a bit older anyway.
I can't count how many times we've had the panels off both our JL and JT, and we've gotten ZERO leaks. I was a bit worried about my truck leaking after I took the entire roof off, and it sat out in a downpour last week right after and it was bone dry inside.

Biggest issue with the panels is storing them...
The storage bag is nice, but you can’t see shit out the back. We stuck them in the apartment on Saturday. And our spiderwebshade was delivered today.
It’s so open and airy with the front panels off.
We leave ours in the garage, but that's resulted in some wet drives home...including one in the snow.
The bag is a PITA to deal with, wife won't even bother with it.

is why I fought for the soft top and ultimately agreed. It really just makes it more of an actual convertibleand not just a novelty thing you may do once a year on a beach trip or something. If you do the whole top down with removing the side/rear window it is probably about three minutes to remove the top or put it back on. The flip back option is great as it removes the roof over both front and rear seats and is basically the effort of dropping the top in a Miata, especially with the running boards on our Edition
Anyone ever had a soft top before? I'm wondering how cautious to be with the plastic window pieces... like will they get scratched up if we just throw them in the back? I think preferred method is leaving them inside... at least the top could still go up in a pinch, only the hatch would get soaked.
