My dealer called me to tell me mine is ready to pickup. Mine is only there to have the speedo recalibrated to the 315/70/17's and I CAN'T wait to get off work and pick it up and I've had mine for almost 2 months haha. So I can't even imagine your excitement sitting at work!

Looking forward to the build.

Was Fury able to give you a decent deal? Did you get it under invoice? My current plan is to go to Illinois to get mine but if I can get a deal locally I might go that route.

So another Mod that is happening: Today we purchased a Blackvue Dash Cam System. We decided on the 750S - 2ch version. We chose the 64GB version. This will record 1080p both front and rear. The front will record at 60fps and the rear will record at 30 fps. It will also record in Park Mode, such it sense a collision or intrusion.

Here is a link to the Blackvue Dashcam System:

https://www.blackvue.com/product/dr750s-2ch/

In addition, we are adding a Blackvue Power Magic Ultra Battery. We will hardwire this into the Jeep's electrical system. Rather than rely on the vehicles battery, we are using this battery to power the dash cams when the vehicle is parked. This is an outstanding battery and will power the cameras for up to 24 hours.

Here is a link to the Blackvue Power Magic Ultra:

https://www.blackvue.com/product/power-magic-ultra-battery-b-124/

Our beast is slowly coming together. We have a lot of work to do once the vehicle is done at the wrappers. We are so excited!!

We are currently debating.....and most likely will order Fuel Off-Road Beast D564 wheels the early part of next week. We had these on our 2013 JKUR and they look awesome. We were originally thinking of sticking with the OEM wheels, but after looking at all the JLUR's with stock wheels, we are re-thinking this plan. I have searched the Internet high and low for a descent price. Most every outlet is pricing these at $225/ea or $1125 for 5. I did acquire a quote from an online dealer mrwheeldeal.com. They quoted $1065 for the set.

We should have it by the end of next week. It is currently at the wrappers. They are dismantling what they need. Then they will wrap and re-assemble. We should have photos of the wrapping process on Monday or Tuesday. And of course, the final wrapping photos will be plenty!

@mnrafter any updates this week? Can't wait to see how the purple turned out!
It is coming! The wait is agony! There was a death in the family of the guy doing the wrapping, so it is a bit delayed. I have a photoshoot setup for Monday. It should be completed on Tuesday. The dealer should have it all day Wednesday to add new tires and do the final cleaning. We should get it late Thursday for Friday. Cannot wait!

[/INFO]So..I pulled the trigger once again. I really hate waiting for this vehicle to be done!

Today I ordered XD231 17x8.5 Black Satin Beadlock Wheels. Every place I looked, they were running $318. I ended up finding this website that had them for just over $265. A link to the website is below, as well as a link to the XD231's.

Manufacture's website:
http://www.kmcwheels.com/wheel/43919/xd231-rg-race

Where I bought the wheels. They show $318 until you put them in the cart. Then the price drops to $265.39:
