Thanks!

I have to agree that the cloth seats work really well with the seat heaters. This was one of my must have packages when specing my JL's replacement. This 4xe is a like for like replacement for my 2018 JLUR Manual.
How do you feel about letting go of the manual? That was the hardest part for me.

Yes. that is probably the hardest part. I love driving the manual. I hate letting it go.

Several things weighed in to make this decision:
Failure mode of the manual - usually destructive
Expense of aftermarket clutches to fix the stock
Lack of power of the 3.6 at altitude ** This is big, last run was above 8k feet and it took a lot of attempts to power over hard obstacles.
The economy of using my solar to charge batteries for daily driving

Excellent about the solar charger; that'll be great. I am in Tennessee and most for me is below 2,000 ft. I wanted more power and looked for a long time about replacing the engine and the transmission (Getrag 238), but ultimately decided to opt for the 392 from the factory. I haven't had a battery or hybrid yet. I think you will certainly love the new ride.

Hmm that sounds a little fishy. You would have a VON almost immediately after the order was entered. Ask them for a copy of your POC (priced order confirmation). If they provide it, then your order is in and you will be able to see the current status on that sheet. If they can't provide the POC (or at least a VON), then they didn't put your order in yet. Let's hope that is not the case since you'll probably be out of luck regarding Reign.
You nailed it right on the head. I am now out of luck. I guess ut was not meant to be for me and a jeep. For now...

I was down to 4xe vs Manual. Just couldn't do it...

Noticed I had a change on jeeptracker but nothing obvious. After investigating, my tires went from BF Goodrich to now Bridgestones!

It's a free security system.
I have tried teaching my daughter but her complaint is " I only need this info because you're so freaking proud that you can drive stick."..
False.
I'm not proud that I can drive stick; I am utterly ashamed that you can't.
