Got some pictures from the dealer today.

Still looking like I am the 1st 2-door with a Premium Soft Top delivered within 150 miles of Minneapolis.

Hope to pick up Monday night.
those tan seats look really nice!

I ordered an Ocean Blue 2 door soft top. I had the HARDEST time deciding between black or tan interior. I went black, but I think I could still change it... that's the first picture of a tan interior with blue I've seen.

Please give your impressions of it once you see it in person.
I ordered tan to have a little variety. My 2013 has black interior and I am hoping these stay a little cooler sitting in the sun with the top down. May show more stains though. Will let you know when I see in person.

I'm glad I got soft top only. I"m sure the hard top is better in winter. My decision was based on the fact that I don't really have anywhere to store the hard top. To me, the JL looks awesome with top completely off rather than just folded.

that does look sharp/ they are a bit bulkier folded then the JK's

My chick ran the Cobra 75 and was disappointed, replaced it with a Cobra 29. Im from the old days and ran a 148 gtl when they were still made here, but wouldnt buy one now. Of all the reviews i read, the uniden won out for its intended purpose. To talk to your trailmates while on the trail. It doesnt have any bells n whistles though. from all i read its tough as nails. i wanted to go with the 75 too, but she wouldnt let me lol

Damn , you might as well of driven straight to the factory and picked one up.
Lol if that was the case I think a lot of ppl that want there JL’s would have done that. By now lol. I’m from Kansas I orderd it through my dealer there I know the manager and got a nice deal. I’m on the road a lot I work on the power lines, IBEW that’s why I’m in AZ at the moment.
I orderd it April 19th came in last Wednesday. I actually had a plane ticket bought to fly home for the 4th but my dealer text me it was there so it all worked out!

I had my dealer order mine with a 10% discount.
Thanks. i don't think those are available in Canada. I can't get locking lug nuts yet either. I hope my spare doesn't go missing!

Good morning ! I was just thinking about all this waiting time for us. Yes when I
ordered my dealer said 8 to 10 weeks. I did wait 4 1/2 months but my dealer was
correct. How you say ? After production started April 9th mine was delivered to
the dealer in 47 days or 7 weeks. With all the upsetting wait time of over 4 1/2
months I never once figured it this way. Pissed at my dealer----what for----as he
did deliver in the time frame he promised.

Just want to add----If he would have said " After production starts"
I would not have been so very upset.

Glad you can get them. BUT everyone should look at your build sheet.
Jeep was to provide a locking lug nut on the spare. Hundreds of locking
lug nuts that Jeep has that they didn't provide is money in their pockets !!!
Call you dealer get one put on or mailed to you. (this may be Rubicons only)
