Well i got my rear bumper installed . It was jcr offroads crusader mid width bumper. I love Jcr's stuff , and their front bumper went on smooth as silk, but their specs were off about 1/4 inch on the rear bumper. The support brackets were 1/4 inch to close together. Now that might not sound like a lot , but trust 3/16 rolled steel doesnt like to give . So was hammering and using a 20 pound mallet, along with my hi lift jack to get the bumper into place. I finally got it on but not with out some casualties. looks like i'll be ordering some touch up paint.

We've been trying to order a 2 dr Sahara since last Oct (8 mo). Filled out the order and made a downpayment. But dealer keeps telling us they can't submit it. Manufacturer won't allow/accept the order. Seems to be stringing us along. Can anyone confirm whether 2 dr is or is not available?
Sahara is just in 4 door as far as I know. Nobody here said otherwise. The 2 door Sahara is available only in Europe I believe.

When i dropped the Jeep off he said he thought it would be a day or so because he would just alter the 4 doors covers, then he later told us that wow, there are a lot more than just the latch that was different so he had the truck all week. When i picked it up today, the girl told me he had been putting a lot of time and effort to get these right and done. I was really surprised, they were way better than anticipated! Ill post up some pics or a vid. They look frigging awesome!
And their website please!

I hope everyone here knows how special we are. On a 75 mike radius on my zip code there is only one 2 door and 126 four doors!
Christina, all of us unicorns are rare indeed, however, i live near Chicago (I'm in Iowa) & there are a ton of 2 doors available, just not mine.:headbang:

Ok I have the u connect 7 inch I think, not the big one how the hell do you use your phone like the Uconnect app to unlock your doors and stuff like that it’s mind boggling me. Do I need the bigger screen to have those features ?

Why can't I find these on the Bartact website? @jlopes68 did you just use the 4-door JL covers instead of waiting for the release of the 2-door model?

Just found out that my JL was loaded on a rail car on 6/20 (today or yesterday, depending on how you reference time). So, it's headed this way finally... I've got two more weeks before I fly to the UK, so *maybe* it will be here before I leave...

Finally got mine 4 mos. and 11 days in. Kim and the people at Superior couldn't have been nicer. Did a nice cruise today of a few hundred miles through the Ozarks. Good times

we asked about ordering some and it may of been after the other gentleman had trouble with their 4 door version. well they asked if they could borrow my jeep for a template. took him all week to make the fronts, he said seats are way different than the 4 doors. he has the back seat now so it should be another week i would guess.

Its spread out wierd, one dealer in Elk Grove CA had like 16 2 doors last week (they sold a few, but got more, did not recount), then everywhere else in 75 miles has like 4 total. Why huge dealers in Silcon Valley have near zero=, and some dealer west of Sac has a zillion is wierd.

I may drive out there soon. They seem to like safe colors on 2 doors so far, white or silver. I like most colors, but a lil variety would be nice
