The Story Behind The Jeep "Sandals" Easter Egg with Rick Péwé and Tony Carvallo

If you own a Jeep Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT then you are probably familiar with the sandals or Flip-flops located on the cowl near the windshield wipers, but do you know why they are there? Hear the story from Rick Péwé and former Jeep engineer Tony Carvallo at SEMA 2023
