The Capitol City Krawlers (CCK) are a pretty active local group and do quite a few local runs, of course they are mostly JK, though I'm pretty sure I saw one of the members post up pics of his new JL on the CCK Facebook page.

I'll be ordering mine in a couple weeks, then the long wait for it to show. After it shows we'll be out almost every weekend exploring or playing somewhere.

I ordered a Rubicon on 1/12 I live in Hoquiam WA. I never driven a Wrangler in my life but all the info and you tube I fell in love with the looks and styling. I researched the JL for only about week and half before ordering it. To me there is no more better looking vehicle being made then the JL especially all the SUV crossovers on the market look like a like to matter what brand they are and they are ugly. I am blown away by just sheer looks of the JL. I have learned a lot in a short time.

Ive also never driven a wrangler before this, so before ordering I told myself I at least want to drive one. Did so about 2 weeks ago, and absolutely loved it. The drive was pretty short, dealer wasnt very friendly. Im still a bit concerned about the reports i see on wind noise and things like that but from the short distance i drove it was really cool. Ordered myself a 2 door Rubicon. Not sure how im going to survive the wait though

I am with you I never been so excited about a new vehicle purchase.

I am expecting it to have the wind noise but as long as I don't have to shout at passengers to communicate and I don't think it will be the case from videos I seen and how its been described. But I did order the headliner but been thinking if its just some carpet stuck on the hard top that going to be a rip. I hope some good foam under it. I discovered the JL when looking up flat towable vehicles for behind an RV. Not even thinking of buying something new but. It will serve multiple purpose a daily driver and a tow behind. Have not bought a new vehicle for myself since my Toyota Tundra 2005. Wife has has had a new Camry and then traded it in on a New Sienna in 2013 . It is my turn!

The one I test drove did have the hardliner in it, its proper. Looks good. I also ordered it.

I looked at the wrangler before my previous car (Ford Ranger Pickup), but where im from the maintenance on jeeps is pretty high and fuel costs are too much, so I decided against it. Now with this new version and here in the states it seems like the perfect vehicle, really cant wait. Ive been without a car now for 5 months it feels like im in prison

Nice Jeep! It's really hard for me to wait, but I have to work on paying off one of my cars before I buy another vehicle. Hopefully in two years.

I’m in The Dalles Oregon. I’ve never seen a JL, my local dealer said there still a few weeks out. They do of course have the oldest versions. They have suggested that we take one out for a few hours, I might do that later this week.

2018 JLUS, Bright White.

Just drove this off the Showroom floor, 13 miles on it. JLUS, didn’t have the LED option or Tow package, which my wife and I were looking for, but got them to add both (here at the dealership). $45,120 before TTL.

KARMART in Burlington. A little more than “invoice”, but honestly I’ve lived outside the US for the last 5.5 years and my wife has wanted a Jeep for the last 11 years and it’s what she wanted.

Sean Connor was the guy we dealt with and was a straight shooter. They have another all black Sahara with similar options.

Didn’t feel like driving down to Tacoma / past Seattle from Whidbey Island, where they had some more white ones, so that’s why we paid a little more; and it was off the lot.

First impressions; my wife loves it. I’ve yet to drive it.

Jeep Wrangler JL Any PNW folks ordering the JL? C635DBD0-97F3-44A1-9EA3-3A88D0ED6864

Tacoma has 2 Sports, a Sahara on the lot and a Rubi in the showroom. You can test drive the Sports/Sahara

I'm located in Puyallup. Anyone order within past two weeks and what% below invoice did you get? Looking to order my 2door as soon as sting-gray is available. Looking for the dealership with the best price.

I ordered JLUR MT from Sean Gallagher at Dishman’s in Spokane. He was between was not able to match Dillons however I was willing to pay $500 not to drive to Boise. Also prob save $500 in taxes by buying outside Tacoma.
Sean was excellent to work with.
