RV10, former Rubicon, CJ7 in workshop for rebuild, 2Door JL ordered
The width of the rear door opening is 41 inches. This width carries forward about 15 inches and then it widens to 45 inches at the rear wheel wells (where the rear seat sits).
The MT gear ratios are just where I like them. A couple people described them as tall. I like to upshift as soon as possible to keep rpms low. It's just the way I drive. Better fuel economy.
This is my second Wrangler (not counting my sons CJ7 that is in my workshop being rebuilt) and I like it more than the first. In fact, I'm loving it!

Not sure if anyone else even ordered trail rail, but I just got this response from the JL hotline:
Dear Christopher: I apologize for my delayed response. The only thing holding your vehicle up in the Sub-Firm Schedule Status is the Trail Rail Management System (CMD). I would be more than happy to look into having this feature removed if you reply to this email approving the change. Thank you for your email. Sincerely, Nicole Jeep Product Information Center
I told them to go ahead and remove it, if it turns out super awesome how hard could it be to add later.

The cavernous cargo are of my 2dr 2 seater. The front seats are slid fully aft.

Could you take a picture of the front seats fully reclined? How far back does it go? Thanks!!!

There is a white Sport S with PST at a dealer in London Ontario. I have just talked to a sales guy. I will stop in today to look at it.

She’s here! After placing my order back on December 23rd and all the delays, I can’t believe shipping actually went so quickly. Not even a week. I’m trying to free up my afternoon so I can go get her. Ahhhhhhhh!

see this is what pisses me off, i have no problem waiting , but jeep says its a supply issue with the PST, and then you see this and the 2 turbos that went D1 even though they were ordered months after me. Jeep is straight up lying to us , and thats what is so frustrating.

I believe the difference is the measurement in the JL is to the fully reclined rear seat rather then the center console. If the JL was measured to the console it would likely be greater.
