Excellent wheels!! Are they the Quadratec Rubicon Xtreme's? Were you able to use the stock OEM lug nuts?
Thank you and yes they are Rubicon Xtreme's. I initially used the stock nuts but then replaced them with a set of Gorilla black.

I'm still here and still keeping track of everyone's progress Cristina! I got tired of waiting and actually found a non-sold Rubicon semi-locally which had everything but the steel bumpers and proximity. Once I confirmed it wasn't sold, I jumped on it. I had to sacrifice color unfortunately but am real glad I did given the unbelievable delays in my order. I have no idea what "NORTHTOWNE YARD OFFSITE" means but like you, I can't see how that's a good thing. My order actually showed an expected ETA a couple of weeks ago but was then removed. What's even crazier is that the dealer that I ordered through has taken delivery of 2 JL's and 3-4 JLU's within the past few weeks and they are all stock orders.
I've still been checking the progress on our orders along with others on the tracking site. Hopefully it won't be long for you now. I can also echo what all the others have said....they are worth the wait! I'm loving every minute spent behind the wheel so far and have already changed a few things.

Not exactly sure what you were trying to say here but this technically isn't in Lafayette and it's most definitely not a park. This is a field on the backside of my house and I figured pictures would look better here than in a parking lot. ;)

I'm hoping for a picture from the driver picking up my Wrangler in abq today. If I get one, it'll start to feel real. I'll be sure to post it here tonight if I do.

Be a nice 4 month orderversary present

Foe those with rubicons, if your doing a lift what brand are you using , and do you think their suspension is better then the factory rubicon suspension ?
Im doing a suspension lift in the future after theres enough options and then research which is better for the stuff id be doing as well being an upgrade from stock. Mopar is ok, they just have shitty springs.

I did the same thing as you, I found another Rubicon and picked it up instead of my order and sacrificed color and the soft top, color was the bigger sacrifice for me as Ive had a lot of black cars lately I wanted something else. I can't complaint, I love it and stoked with it as it had a few more options that I really enjoy that I didn't have on my order.

I was planning on waiting to i hit 40000 miles then change the rims tires and suspension all at once. I hate to pay for the quality parts on a rubicon and then just toss them aside as soon as i get it.

I have about 3400miles on mine so far but there no decent suspension lift kit for them just yet. You can easily sell the stock rubicon suspension as it'll give about and 1inch lift to the sahara and sport models. Ive seen people selling them in no time. Im probably gonna keep my stock wheels and just do a 2" lift and add 35" tires. I won't be doing anything crazy and I still want to have ok mpg.
