Hello hello and good morning!

Today is order day for me. Getting 2dr Punk’n Rubi with color matching top and fenders.

Last decision is going down to the wire. Torn between tan and black leather. Really want tan just a bit worried it may be too light. Don’t want the red stitching.

Tan probably shows age and dirt more than black in leather. If it is something that is made from thick leather, then this is basically the patina that it develops and it might get the item an antique look. The leather for the seats in cars these days is not that thick though.

My last car had tan leather, would not go that route again. Common thing with tan is it will get denim stains from pants. It was easy enough to clean them off, just I had to clean on a regular basis. That got old quick.

Another day, another "It's not here yet"... :)
Happy thoughts...

Time for more coffee. The pot will boil soon enough. :coffee:

Choices, choices... red stitching or constant cleaning... in a Jeep!

I'd say go tan cloth and then hit Katzkin up for just what you want. That eliminates the red stitching on your steering wheel and gets you better leather of whatever color you like in the end. For less money.

If you are getting a 2 door, you will not loose the built in cup holder in the center of the rear seats. That's the way I'd go anyway.

Except I can't currently replace the steering wheel, hand brake, and shiftier stitching with the same as on this:

I assume that it means that the USB device will play on startup. Every time you start.[/QUOT

My feeling was always have a two tone car not three. With tan interior you will have three. In my opinion blk is the way to go

Dang a lot of movement on jeeps! been a hot minute since I last been on here! When I got back to Phoenix last Sunday a monsoon came through and knocked a lot of powerlines down been on storm work rebuilding all week.
I still haven’t seen any 2 doors around here in the desert.
A lot of nice 2 doors popping up on here!!:rock::clap:

jeep clubs can be a good start but be wary of the big egos. lots of folks just want to show you how to use the skinny pedal to get out of trouble. some good youtube channels with excellent wheeling advice are as follows:
https://www.youtube.com/user/4xforum andrew st pierre white is one of my favorite characters, great story teller with much wheeling experience and info

https://www.youtube.com/user/RonBacardi666 ronnie dahl has tons of good tips, especially his earlier stuff, some great vids explaining lockers and such.

groups are a good time, fun wheeling with lots of support and info, plus they have cook outs so theres food and beer too! when out wheeling with clubs look for things like lax rules about drinking on the trail, trash pick up and that should tell you much about the group. good luck and happy wheeling!
Thanks, John! You answered one of my unexpressed questions! Will get to them after I finish your trip videos!
