Congratulations; nice color. You're probably the first Punkn' 2 door; at least on this forum.

How long did you wait for it to be shipped after the complete build? Did it come rail to truck transfer or all truck transit?

don't know how ya'll feel, but while i'm waiting for my jeep to be built, it's sure a lot more pleasant seeing these pictures of delivered 2 doors than it was a couple weeks ago just reading words of a bunch of upset peeps

It was about three weeks from build to delivery. It did go on a train then trucked to the dealer.

whats up with that open end on the frame cross bar? Shouldn't that be closed/sealed up?

In looking closer I do see drain holes in the lower aspect so it shouldn't catch water, still looks "unfinished" though
Naw, it's exactly like it should be. No missing welds.

I really need to see Punkin in person to determine whether I’m jealous or not. I’m not a fan of pure orange, and some of the original Punkin photos were close to that. However, if your photos accurately capture the color, I think it looks great.
It's slightly less red in person than in the pictures but that's pretty close.

Called the hotline and was informed that I finally moved into D1 with my PST, 2.0t order. They didn't have a build date, though....

Almost hit 100 days there.
Is your's a Sport or a Rubi?

I was once on a flight from Tokyo coming back home to Canada after a two week trip. Once landed, I was the first though Customs. It was just luck, since I was not the first off the plane, but was funnelled to a Customs window that just happened to open in front of my place in line. I got through with no issues so all that was left was to pick up my checked bag ang grab a taxi.

I was jet lagged and exhausted after an 11 hour flight, but thrilled to be the first out of the 300 or so people on that flight. That’s when I discovered my checked bag was lost. Spent the next 4 hrs at the airport fruitlessly talking to airline staff, filling out forms and waiting. I ended up being the last one from my flight to leave the airport by a long shot and did so without my luggage.

Not the same as what you’re going through, but I think I can empathize.
And that is why I always try to fly with just carry on :)

What is missing is your updated profile pic in your new Punk'n JL ;)
