This is my build also. Ordered Jan 26th Built Jan 31
My build as well. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit my wife led me to the white and tan leather (she likes her cars to be light and “beach” and I like having a “....happy life” ha She said the red with red painted tops look like fire trucks, the white with white tops look like appliances, and something about a black top was very “jeep’ish”. Why get a jeep and hide the jeep factors” sort of logic. :idea: I don’t know that I fully agreed, but for $3k savings vs body color matching top, I forced myself to be persuaded. Lol plus I’ll worry less about the top being banged up taking it on and off. So, it was the right decision for us.....but not gonna lie, seeing some of these granite Rubis and red Rubis with the black tops, or the all black with painted tops has me wanting to call a divorce lawyer over all the bad advice :facepalm: :giggle:

Saweet!!!!! congrats first of all. very exciting to finally see another white JLU Sahara with some aftermarket wheels !! I also have a white one on the way in 2wks, and am trying now to decide to lift or not, what size wheels/tires etc. Not a big-time offroader - full disclosure. But till recently , had thought I'd still need to 2" lift and go 35's to get the "look" I wanted. But's your's looks great with the 33's !! Can you kindly please post a few more pics - would really like to see a down-the-side shot to see how wide of a stance look your wheels offer. Nice job !!

I’ll probably never do any real off reading haha but I’d like to put 35’s on it with no lift if possible. Really fill up that space

Curious please, I too am considering different running boards, what are you contemplating ? Please keep posting pics !!! much appreciated and congrats !!!

Thanks! I have a couple more shots, it’s super dirty now because of the snow, but these should give you an idea of the stance. I not an off-roader at all...lol

Excellent !!! much appreciated. So looks like your new wheels/tires stick out about 1-1.5 " outside of the fender flares - looks really nice !!!

Just got my Jeep back from the shop. Here are a few photos. Had door handles, side mirrors, antenna base, and fuel cover all painted to match the body. I think I’m going to take it back in to get the hood latches, and the windshield rest/solution sprayers to match the body as well, since I don’t think I will ever put the windshield down.

They thought I should do the side vents too, but I think I like them black. Opinions?

Here’s a video too. Sorry that’s its kinda grainy. I’m new at this. Lol.

Beautiful !!! Between you and JGrand I think I know what I'm going to do with mine when it shows up in a couple of weeks !! What are your thoughts, and/or your painter's thoughts, on your new white painted parts regarding durability ? I have a local painter who always says " I can paint anything", but haven't yet talked to him about these types of parts in particular. Looks really nice !! Curious if you are contemplating a wheel/tire swap-out or not ? It also looks like you've added window tint. Very nice looking ride ! Nice to see a few Sahara's on the forum as by far the most posted to date are Rubi's.
