My system just downloaded two more apps last week, so it does look like the info center does continue to evolve.

Blocking the window is no big deal, more often than not you'll be blocking it with whatever large item is in the bed anyway. Remember, this is a special situations vehicle. Compromises are expected when maximizing for utility. |

I think those are the standard tires for the JGC Trailhawk edition. I will file away to an always tire-obsessed corner of my mind that you like them, good to know.

That folding Bakflip cover is intriguing.
However, the only thing I don't like about it is the inability to see rearward. Isn't there a law in which you MUST have a clear view towards the back ?? Could you get a violation/citation for this ??

If you're looking for a better all-terrain tires for your Jeep, the venerable BFG All-Terrain are highly rated. The KO2 is the latest version which I have, and I like them a lot. Not only are they capable in most conditions I subject them too, but they're quiet and not as expensive as compared to Pro-Comp, Dick Cepek, Mickey Thompson, tire brands that are more geared to trucks.

What bothers me is that you can open it in 10 seconds with a wire coat hanger. I know that no tonneau is a vault, but it should be more difficult than that. |

My folding cover has levers that clip under the bed rails. I can't remember who makes it, but it is really easy to take off and/or fold, but it doesn't flip-up to give full access to the bad so it has to be totally removed every once in a while for something. |

I just checked the wheel bolt torque spec. 140 foot pounds. Seems kind of excessive.
I'll need roadside assistance just to break the bolts free if I don't carry a breaker bar. |
