Granite is one of those colors that look 10x better in person

How did you fit in it? I found the seats very comfy. Did 11 hours in it yesterday and must say i do like the seats a lot.

Hey John, what are you doing here? I thought you were playing out in the dirt for 10 days!

I'm 6'3" 270 pounds and have 6 inches of extra pounds headroom. My new Rubi is awesome and my daughter loves it, especially the PST and Upgraded Alpine speakers.

My daughter is after mine already too lol. She does not like my plan of getting a 6 speed though hahah
In another thread we determined fitting depends on height and inseam. I am 6' 4" (34" inseam so even spread) and my head is long (common for vikings), I seem to be able to easily have my head hit stuff others dont. When I get in and the dealer starts talking about re-welding the seat I know :P

I think I will fit with a lil side to side head banging, but will know soon, I got caught up signing more tax forms and paying stupid amounts more to the blood suckers. They sure do make it stressful.

First ride home minus freedom panels.

Windy and she's wandering. Tires at 35.. Alpine stereo as all have mentioned is awesome and worth triple what you pay for it

Houston to be seems to go on forever, Hillsdale was primarily a farming community. Population 1800 still lots of open land.

Do the people there commute to NYC for work? If so, you might unfortunately get lumped in with the classic NYer stereotype of person -- rude, obnoxious, and often leftist scum.

When I say the "Houston metroplex" is a certain distance, I'm basically saying the point where farmland stops and you start seeing strip malls, lots of concrete, postage stamp size lots, and your typical urban sprawl and until that stops on the other side of the metroplex. That's easily 100 miles and if you include those places where people are a bit more rural, but still commute into Houston to work, it's even larger. I don't live in Houston proper, but I'm too close to it as far as I'm concerned.

It is my understanding the important issue is the price, not the monthly payments. What is the actual price?

Yep, the dealers are just *drooling* when you come in there just wanting to get the monthly payment down. They know they are going to be making some serious profit. They can always play games with the monthly payment by making the loan longer or requiring more of a down payment. Negotiate for the price of the vehicle and the value of your trade-in first. Dealers often don't give that great of a deal on trade-ins, so check other places like CarMax. My dealer offered me $3,300 for my Ram 1500. CarMax offered $7,000, and another lot down the street from them eventually gave me $7,500 with a bit of haggling.

Black is also out of stock!

You waited for Vida, you can wait for black. Black / red color combo will be nice.

No, they are weekend people, and you described them perfectly! That is why I try to stay separate from them by stating upstate NY. But infortunately not far enough "upstate". anymore.

Yeah, if you get too far "upstate", next thing you know, people start thinking that eating poutine is *normal*... LMAO...

So, in your case, it would be "well outside of NYC, but when the wind is wrong, I can still smell the NYC scum"...

Thanks! I'm taking her out tomorrow!
That's the step bar I want too. Where did you get yours?

I bought the ones for a JK had to shim the front bracket with a couple of washers and use longer bolts, but it all matched up. I got them on ebay and here is the link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/07-18-Jeep...201321?hash=item51fe717ca9:g:jIAAAOSwHYpaArYp
