She’s here! After placing my order back on December 23rd and all the delays, I can’t believe shipping actually went so quickly. Not even a week. I’m trying to free up my afternoon so I can go get her. Ahhhhhhhh!
Epic. Super jealous

I believe the difference is the measurement in the JL is to the fully reclined rear seat rather then the center console. If the JL was measured to the console it would likely be greater.
i believe the rear seat is removed in his pic as in mine, you can see the similar mounting hoops for the seat are visible.

Any new updates on PST build schedule?

Im seriously considering dumping the PST and adding the Turbo engine.. 23/25mpg sounds a lot nicer than 18/23

Has anyone driven a 2.0l turbo? any reviews? I'm still apprehensive on ordering a new car with an entirely new engine w/ a new transmission.

I walked into my dealership to see what the real story is, as far as they know on the 2 door builds. After having been told that my 2 door will not be on lot till July if I am lucky (Ordered it 3/24 - Rubicon, Ocean Blue, Hard Top) I decided to try a 4 Door Rubicon in White they had on the lot with every option (Sticker was $57k). The ride and handling sold me immediately. Since it really was not that big of a difference in driving and turning radius for me, I made the change over. I never thought I would get into a 4 door but I certainly see the appeal in it. I suggest while you wait for the 2 door build just test drive the 4 door for fun. I honeslty think if my 2 door came in at same time I would now choose the 4 door. The extra space will help with all the gear and friends I drive around. Anyway I still have 2 two door JK's at home (my daughters jeeps) that I could drive when in the mood. Good luck on waiting for your builds to arrive. It will all be worth it.

Everyone here tends to be very, very aware of the extra cargo space, convenience of 2 extra doors, and fifth seat that the 4 door gets you. We're knowledgeable buyers and want those 2 door good looks (and cheaper price)!
