I've come to the same conclusion. drummerchicks pics make we really want black wheels, so beadlock fakies seem perfect with they're silver ring. downside $

I actually did not order the Trail Rail Management System (CMD). So, yeah, not sure why the delay.

All good though, this wait gets me more drive time in my JK before I give her up. If I only owned a second parking spot at my condo complex I would keep her

Could be the matching hard top, and definitely the manual transmission.

Me too, 10 days after ordering.

Ordered 2/22 window sticker today! 60+ days

I got a manual. Went D1 on 4/6 and was built 4/17 which was the first week they were built. Have a premium soft top too.

Got my window sticker today!!!! Those of you who have gotten yours, how long was the process before you had your jeep in your hands after receiving that.

It all up to the transporter now. It will be hard to estimate.
Your Jeep should show up on your dealers website now too, or soon.

I'm having a hard time photographing the interior accurately because it's so dark. The red dash photographs bright red, but in reality it is more subdued, like red anodized aluminum. I think I will have to take the tops off to maximize lighting and see if that helps.

Yeah, top off, stand in the back and grab a shot pointing down, to grab dash and hood

Yay finally!

I think I just got lucky. I ordered when seems like production is ramped up for 4 door with 3.6l

Also didn’t get any options that cause somewhat of a holdup like painted fenders or top. Also no trail rail or headliner which is installed by contractors after the built.

Works out perfect since my lease takeover is in the final stages, should be gone this week I think.

I initially drove a soft top Sahara because that was the first wrangler my local dealer got. After that I was sold except I wanted a hard top. The next weekend the dealer got in a hard top Sahara so I drove items significantly louder than the soft top was. I then drove them back to back just to verify.

I had no intentions of getting a soft top originally, however the sound difference between the two sold me on the soft top. The hard top was much much louder.

I have now had the Jeep for three days and had it up to 75-80 MPH all three days on the interstate and the soft top is awesome and extremely quiet comparably. Hope this helps

Question: Did you test drive only the one hard top? There is a possibility that you test drove one with a bad seal that affected the impression. There seem to be a lot of people complaining about wind noise. I believe the noise from each top is different pitch too, which might sway which one seems louder to the occupant. I also ordered a headliner.

The soft top alone was not an option for me - I will regularly be using a roof rack. Oh, and Canadian winters? Since I have no garage for storage, the dual-top was no option either. However, Bestop will eventually offer their Sunrider for Hardtop for the JL, and that will be the best-of-both-worlds option for me! In case you (or another reader) don't know what I'm talking about, here is the link.

I ordered my JLUR on 3/16, received my build sheet on 4/23 and my window sticker on 4/26. I'm about 200 miles from Toledo and hope I get a call from my Dealer very soon. Just sold my 2013 JK Unlimited Sport this weekend for $4K more than the dealer was offering on trade-in. Now the wife and I are sharing 1 car until I can pickup my JLUR.

Congratulations and welcome to the club! The wait sometimes seems unbearable but the people here sure make it more fun and help pass the time.

What is your build?

Thank you!

Sport S Unlimited
I4 Turbo
Tow package
Cold weather group
7” Display
Cloth grey seats
Hardtop

Got the Sport because I’m going to be changing almost everything out on it anyway.

Glad to be here, the wait is seeming unbearable.

 

[Firemedicsparky]

Ok. Got my replacement antenna ordered, and new step bars, now I just need... Oh yea, my FREAKIN Jeep!!!

Which steps/rails did you end up going with? I'm really liking the Rock Hard 4x4™ Patriot Series Tube Slider Rocker Guards Angled Downward....for shortest Jeeper family member of my household. Unfortunately it will see less true trail trekking so the clearance of the downward angle isn't as big of an issue for me.

Nice to have another Michigander in the club, so welcome! I ordered my Sahara one week before you and it hit my dealer 6 weeks later on 4/20 and picked it up 4/23. So unless you ordered something unusual I bet your Wrangler will show up any day. I never dreamed living so close to Toledo (80 miles) be a benefit but it sure was.

 

[BillG]

Well my truck is naked now. No sense of “ me” left in it. Hopefully I’ll get the call this week.

 

[olmectech]

This has been tested and measured. The hard top is quieter, but the soft top is not that different at highway speed (aka they are both noisy).

I'm going for the soft top. Once I went to the dealer, and so how easy it was to flip back that soft top I'm sold.
