I'm pretty sure punk'n comes with grey dash instead of red.

Yes Punk'n comes with the silver/grey dash

Hmmm... not sure the red would match, although it would not need to be perfect. I would go with gray or th beige, black may be a bit too dark for Florida. IMO

I Changed my order from orange to white after one week and dealer said “it’s easier” to simply reorder......they then show up same day. Drove both and going white, absolutely love the red dash and black/white contrast.

In addition they will match Tom Winkels (Hayes Jeep in Kalamazoo MI) offer for the mopar max care lifetime warranty so going through them seeing they will match it.

Agreed

 

[McBeeve]

Hey, anyone knows what happened to McBeevee? Can’t remember hearing from him recently. Looking at his build, in KZ, but offsite in a yard, that’s not as good as “in transit”, no doubt.

I'm still here and still keeping track of everyone's progress Cristina! I got tired of waiting and actually found a non-sold Rubicon semi-locally which had everything but the steel bumpers and proximity. Once I confirmed it wasn't sold, I jumped on it. I had to sacrifice color unfortunately but am real glad I did given the unbelievable delays in my order. I have no idea what "NORTHTOWNE YARD OFFSITE" means but like you, I can't see how that's a good thing. My order actually showed an expected ETA a couple of weeks ago but was then removed. What's even crazier is that the dealer that I ordered through has taken delivery of 2 JL's and 3-4 JLU's within the past few weeks and they are all stock orders.
I've still been checking the progress on our orders along with others on the tracking site. Hopefully it won't be long for you now. I can also echo what all the others have said....they are worth the wait! I'm loving every minute spent behind the wheel so far and have already changed a few things.

Looks like mine except I have the hard top, pretty much the same options. I find it hard to believe yours took 154 days and mine took 39, jeep's

scheduling is messed up. Glad you have it and hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. Now go have fun!

Thanks! I'm taking her out tomorrow!
That's the step bar I want too. Where did you get yours?

The stereo is great as far as standard stereos go. Good sound. The 8 speakers put out plenty of volume and bass. The phone sounds great too when using Bluetooth. I called my folks and they said it sounded good on their end as well.
The standard top is easy-peasy to drop and put back up! Annnnnd... I drove about 70+ miles an hour going home and it wasn't "loud" at all. Of course, it wasn't as quiet as a car, but for a Jeep, it is totally livable. You will have no need to yell at your passengers!
If you have any more questions about the base Sport trim, just let me know.
Oh, and I was told we can roll up the back window! It even has snaps for it!

I'm waiting on a manual 2 door Sport myself.

Are the manual windows nice?
Are there still electrical connectors to the doors? (someone claimed there was)
Is the key fob extremely simple, since no keyless entry?
There's cruise control, right? (preeeetty sure I've read there is, but just kinda wanna confirm)
Is the 6 speed quick with the lightweight bare bones 2 door and the non-rubicon axle gearing? Any chance you could report highway RPM's at various speeds and gears?
Does it feel like a TJ/YJ/CJ successor?

What size lug nuts are those & what did you do for the spare?
