2018 Firecracker Sahara (ordered 4/16/18, received 5/12/18), 2015 QX60, 2012 5.0, 2013 Prius V (hers)
Finally, finally, finally. I broke KZ-L status Thursday, then got the surprise phone call from my dealership today! Still can't bring her home, but I had to go see her. I met Wruby for the first time. Dealership experience was superb. Watched her get unloaded from the truck (met the driver even), drooled over her, then dealer allowed me to start her up (only 2 miles!!!), and drive her into the service bay for the first time. They are storing her in there (out of the elements) until Monday when I pick her up. Love, love, love how she looks and feels. Am looking forward to being a FIRST TIME, Jeep owner. :rock: Time to make some new memories. Thanks JL forum - you've been a BIG help the last few months. :handsinair:

Will post more when I bring her home Monday/early next week after I get her detailed.

Even on the truck she looks good!!! Lol

Here's the proof that she's a stick, and that everything is still WRAPPED!!!

And only 2 miles!

Looks sweet bro. I always wondered why the firecracker club is not as active as the new colors; i get they are new, nice and people are excited about them like blue and sting gray but i feel red is under rated. The color pops and when is contrast with black it really tones well. Welcome to the club!!

Thank you!

Agreed. Though, I would have had a tough decision if I had seen the Punk'n in person before ordering.

Just got back from White River Crossing on the east side of Mt.Hood... Max incline today was 38 degrees with minimal offcamber... good day... was actually looking for a problem cougar on my in-laws ranch...Love this rig...wife thought we were getting stuck or worse and this beast barely spun a tire fully locked...

Hello everyone, first post and long time follower of this awesome forum. This is my first wrangler and super excited to the world of mods. I have a 2018 jlus in firecracker red and had it for a month with 950 miles and it has been sweet. In the past ive had several luxury vehicles and none of them has made me feel this way. Once i started the first simple mod which was installing door sills it has opened up a hole in my pockets because im hooked and the posibilities are endless

Did you get new grill and headlight inserts? Those are Rubicon inserts and your Jeep is a Sahara, right?

Today should be a good day, im installing the first aftermarket fog lights for the jl available for my red sahara. They are led's by morimoto and with the best warranty available. Is an easy plug and play. No need for resistors or bulbs, everything comes together and the housing is all designed specifically for the jl. I will install later so stay tuned!!
