Pick it up this morning. It had 14 miles, +2 for a trip to fill it up.
Drove it straight down to the river, to get some mud on it before it got home.

here are the first pics.

Congratulations on geting your rig.

Wondering if anyone has any experience with the Tread Lightly discount? I figure since I'm probably over a month out for delivery still I would have time to apply, but I'm curious if this would could be combined with Friends/Family discount which I'm already using. I wouldn't mind donating anyway, so I may just sign up either way, but would be nice to put the extra savings to some upgrades if I can get an additional discount.

Most dealerships do honor the extra 1 percent off with thread lightly, but I would think it is up to the dealership, if you made a deal blow the 1% off invoice then I would think it is not mandatory for the dealer to add another percent off, but I have heard of them doing it, I think if you have a havy discount, like 4,5,6 or 7% off invoice already then it would be unlikely for them to add the 1%, but it would be best to check with your dealer, be aware that Thread Lightly requires to be activated for 30 days before the code can be used for a purchase of a vehicle, so you may want to get the facts straight as soon as possible.

White with white fenders and top... Just what I ordered, Drooling over yours!

I am too, it is also the way I ordered, all white, but my wife made a comment yesterday and it may be that she wants to take over once it arrives instead of waiting for next year for a car she wanted to order, I am gonna fight her all the way, I am willing to compromise it called "ours", but I wont give her up haha.

I got the same $40 but they didn't have a shirt that said "We'll deliver when we deliver".

I was going to use mine to pick up the $42 Kong water bottle for my dog (the same one that costs $18 at other online sites without the Jeep logo) but they want $33 to ship it to me in Alaska. Not getting that "we appreciate your business" warm fuzzy feeling.

Buddy of mine bought a new 18 JL rubi and he said when he first went into 4wd he thought the shifter was going to break. It was VERY hard to shift first few times he said. I wondered about mine on the way home so I made 2 shifts into 4H. No problems. It was firm but no where near how he described. I did pop the hood and open the fuse box. I seared all fuses and relays. And I’d say I had 20 that had an audible sound when I pushed on them. A couple of the taller relays and fuses were actually tilted a good amount. A MUST LOOK AT ITEM. I feel good about it since I did that but can see where it could possibly cause some issues if I hadn’t done that. Just an FYI. Enjoy it !!!!! They drive amazing.

Yep... hard as hell ...4H is not to bad... N to4L was a struggle. Only tried it once this morning. I'll exorcise it some more tomorrow.
I've got 224 miles on it, and it's great. It's way to early to calculate gas mileage, but I will post it when I get a few tanks run through.
Coming from a 4 cly base YJ, this thing has so many bells and whistles, it is over whelming.
Is there a way to permanently turn off that worthless and annoying auto stop/start? I'm sure pushing that button to turn it off will be come automatic, but it would be nice to turn it off once and not every time you start it.

TazerJL is one of many ways to turn off the start stop. Also has many other features. Like adjusting tire size and tire pressure.
