Just saw this and was wondering what is the history and purpose of this.

The panel or the foot prints? Following.

The flip flops. I don't think it's a coincidence they are there outside on the hood by the wipers.

Anyone else notice this?

Thanks. I'm interested too.

I don’t have them on my 06. Haven’t heard of them before either. Interested to know about them though!

The flip flops are a tribute to Rick Pewe which I never knew until now.

Easter Eggs! All Jeeps have them. My compass had a lizard by the wipers. Wranglers usually have a few. Still looking for them on my new Willys!

That’s awesome!

Found this, Jeep Included Flip Flops As Easter Eggs on the '20 Gladiator But Won't Say Why - The Transmission Interesting article.

The flip flops are on all JL Wranglers. They’re tribute to Rick Pewe as he usually has flip flops on. Pretty cool stuff.

My 2020 Rubi has them.

There's also a 1941 Jeep Willy's mentioned in the article:

It isn't by chance an "Islander" trim package, is it? That would fit.

Ok. Curiosity got the best of me. Had to go out to garage. My 2021 Rubicon has them too. What else haven't I noticed in 9 months of ownership?!

I don't think they started that until the JKs came out. The ones in the photo in the originating post are on a JL.

I only skimmed the article mentioned above, so I could have misread/misremembered the info. (My memory is pretty bad nowadays)

I went on an Easter egg hunt today. Found all of these while cleaning. Speaking of cleaning. Does anyone have any good cleaner for floor mats to get them back to that rich black color?

That's cool.

Westley's Bleche Wite is about as good as you are going to get. I also use 303 on mine afterwards but SPARINGLY as it makes them a bit slick.
