Finally decided to bite the bullet and get the 4xe.

I guess I waited too long because the Chief Blue I really wanted was no longer an option, so I went with red. I don't love the red. I think it's kind of flat. I wish it were a pearl or metallic, but I didn't like any other available colors better, so this will be a decent platform. I have ideas for sprucing up the surface. More to come on that.

I got a great deal when every other dealership was telling me demand was too high, so it would be MSRP or higher. ~6% below invoice. Call Andrew Crimando @ Fort Collins Jeep. Sure, it was two states away, but I wasn't exactly broken up about having to drive the new Jeep across Colorado and Utah, nice and slow to break it in.

I couldn't get any straight information on the 4xe Rubicon dimensions before I bought mine. I saw that it was one inch taller than other JL Rubicons, but couldn't get total numbers. So, I measured everything in preparation for the lift. I'll post the updated dimensions after, but here is the "Before."

Hi Joe, I actually live in Fort Collins and am looking to order a new 4xe - did you do anything special to receive the 6% below invoice? I'm assuming the price didn't include the federal tax credit (only on leases I believe)? I wanted to ask before heading into the dealership. thanks
