I LOVE the red dash and the red contrast stitching on the Rubicon... On the black or red Rubi...

Might have to scrap the Punk'n Metallic and get my 2nd black Jeep.

Black, GCM, while, billet silver and sting-gray should look good with the red dash. Firecracker red doesn't appear to match the dash and I think it will look silly.

So rare to see a 2018 vehicle actually coming out in 2018. I was hoping to at least get some price details so I'm not ordering completely blind without knowing what I would be spending.
With all the hype on this I am disappointed...no info on colors, pricing and so on.

Hopefully they will fill in the gaps before the show is over.

Pricing won't be announced at the show. Closer to the end of the year is what we were told.

Would be nice to replace the stock window bolts with ones with Heavy Duty Thumb Screw Type Bolts with matching threads for easy removal without tools.

BTW, I have a feeling those bolts are Torx sticking to a theme, but the guy might not have known, “just a normal wrench” seems like a strange reply as they would likely work best with a socket of some kind. No?
I think he was referring to the bolts holding the wipers on.
Header bolts for the windshield are Torx.

Jay, since a lot of people (including myself) are upset about the dash colors on the Rubicon, could you confirm with one of the reps if we will have an option to get something other than red, when ordering black seats? Thank you.

so much info yet we need more.
"water water everywhere but not a drop to drink"
so if I have this right the dash color is tied to the interior seat color?
Tan seats = black dash
black seats = red dash
we need a really good photo of the black dash.
and the silver dash and the leather stiched dash are only available on the Sahara ?

I would like to know which wheels are the standard rubicon wheels and which one are the optional.

Wow! Just saw my first picture of the underfloor storage in the 4 dr. That is huge. An awesome improvement.
That looks really good. Wonder if a very secure lock could be added
