Any chance you could report highway RPM's at various speeds and gears
Ok, here are my RPM readings (basic driving; not NASCAR driving!):
Starting out in 1st going to second is really short! I500 rpms;
2nd to 3rd: about 2000 and about the same throughout the rest of the gears.
No need to go into 6th until up in the mid-50s; then once in 6th gear it will stay just under 2000 rpms all the way up to 75 mph.

Morning everyone!

Up way too early for a Sunday, sitting in my back yard doing my morning coffee and internet surfing. Checked jg moments ago and see my Jeep is in Texas and 4 hours away! Pretty sure I know where the final rail destination is and think it will be there today. Then it’s just a matter of when it gets on truck to dealer. Dealership is a high volume one so thinkin it won’t take too long!

So it’s looking like for me the difference between delivery on a March order vs a May order is 1 week. That is just all kinds of crazy but.... that’s FCA for ya!
Good Morning Mordin! You will really have a "good morning" the day your Jeep arrives! Look forward to seeing it. Good luck!

Rkammer - are those the wheels and tires that come standard on the Sport S? I like them. Any regrets?
Yes, Standard wheels and tire for the Sport S. No regrets. This is my first wrangler. I will keep it stock for a little while before doing any major mods.

@Fred

Well, was at Ruge's today and another forum member (a gal) picked up her 2 dr., white, convertible, Rubi while I was there.

So, there are three of us locally with 2 dr. Rubi's.

By the way, she only waited 21 days from day of order to delivery day....
Still waiting see a JL on the road 2 or 4 door.

I've seen three or 4 four doors on the roads locally in the last 2 weeks. Have seen NO two doors driving around though. I get a lots of looks and gawks at my 2 dr. by other guys/gals with JK's, etc..

When there are no Jeep shows, you go to the next best thing. This is an awesome event for anyone in the area.

Bummer, I’ll miss it this year! Saugerties is such a lovely town on any given day, and a suitably quaint backdrop for vintage cars. So cool. And really good for all those great local businesses, too.
I’ve only had good experiences with Sawyer Motors. That’s where I placed my JL order.

Not sure if anyone still looking or if this helps, but I found this screenshot about temperature settings.
Wanted to look it up last night, but my husband was already in bed and would have thought once again I am crazy with this forum!

Mine came from there as well. An awesome place, and Bob is truly a car guy!
