It looks like a little dome security camera because that is how the govt watches you.

Cherokee experts at the Northern Idaho Institute of Post Renix Jeep Cherokees have identified the dome positively as the Bermuda Triangle Wormhole Resistor. It was an option on all Jeeps, but most popular in the Southern reaches of Florida, Bermuda, and Atlantis.

You can traverse the Bermuda Triangle with confidence now.

Why? Does it eat them? Or turn them into a dual-pocketed marsupial? Will it try to clone them so as to steal your precious like a thief in the middle of the night unbeknownst to you?!?!?!?

You guys are thinking way too far into this... It's simply a detector that tells the jeep to roll back over when it goes tire side up.

I thought it was one of the earliest model projection systems. Allows for watching some **** on the windshield while u make the sexy time. If not then I guess it must be what he said ^^^^^^

You guys are all wrong... It IS a mini dome camera. No one knows this, but all of us that have this in our jeeps are on a jeep reality show. It's called JEEP PEEP. On another planet they watch what we do in our jeeps and vote on who does the coolest stuff in it each week.

And for those of you who have messed with the camera... Well you got voted off!

You mean it's not a dampening emitter to stop the aliens from reading our thoughts?
