That's almost exactly my Jeep except the color. Ordered 6/30, dare I hope for 7/30?

According to Josh, timeline was El Mirage friday (which seems like 3 weeks ago lol), seemed like it got there Sunday, available for pick-up Wednesday afternoon.
I desperately tried my best not to annoy him, and when the time did come for actual vehicular interaction and purchase arrangement he texted me a’ plenty.

P.S. If you were not aware, an issue on the uh, ‘Issues’ forum regarded improper fuse seating in the box underhood next to the battery. I picked mine up yesterday, drove it halfway home and figured what the fiddlesticks...and sure enough quite a few were somewhat akimbo...my 0.02. Also steering was like riding an African elephant...however 100 miles later seems to get better. I’ve stalled it a few times, take-up is not far from the floor...and the engine isn’t happy until about 2,000 rpm.
However any worries fly out your manually rolled down window the second you drive over something tho...it’s awesome!

Thanks for the info MartyParty.

I plan to check the fuses and tire pressure. Hoping I don't get one of the bad steering boxes so many have posted about. If so, I'll be spending a lot of time down at the dealership.

My tire pressure is around 43 on all corners...there’s a neat-o scrolling thingy on the left side of the steering wheel that has tons of info!
I wonder if the combo of hard/new tires and highway speed lift makes the steering a little off...I mean, a couple times on the way home today, if I wasn’t paying total attention it just went thataway lol. But I also drive an 18 wheeler so maybe I’m used to it!

So like, it’s prob not gonna be perfect at first but I would def see if things improve before you walk around the showroom yelling ‘don’t buy a car from here!’ as some guy did when I showed up to buy my car.

Whoa! Did he elaborate? What was his issue

GRAK....near as I could tell he claimed he had a scratch on his vehicle that, again, he claimed nobody at EJCD would address, despite his persistent efforts otherwise...he walked around the showroom shouting, and was eventually called into a side office. I then spent the next 3 hours getting my ordered JLU, cause you know, f*ck that guy. I had zero problems.

 

[GRAK]

Hm. Ok. Good to know.. mine's on a train incoming to this place. Thanks for heads up

 

[jmcdtucson]

My tire pressure is around 43 on all corners...t.

Everyone says that's too high. Air down to 37 or less, whatever's on the door plate. Lots of people report improved steering once that's done.
Your jeep looks great! Love that color.

 

[MartyParty]

You mean 7 psi over a recommended 36 is too high? Lol...yeah I’ll get around to it...and thanks on the color. I said if I’m really gonna get this thing, it’s gonna be what I want. I’m not gonna settle for light gray, whatever. It helped that factory orders are apparently a ‘Wrangler thing’. I wouldn’t dare complain about waiting a month...when I did see it tho...it’s pretty amazing. Exactly what you want, right there!

Well, I'm a bit late to the party....but I ordered my Sting Gray Rubicon from Earnhardt/Gilbert on June 25 at invoice pricing. (Wish I had seen this earlier). She arrived on the lot yesterday, July 25th, and I pick her up this morning!!!! Feels like Christmas morning for me!!!!!

How do you figure out what Invoice pricing is? All I see is MSRP

Somebody on this site made a spreadsheet that calculates it. I don't know if it takes into account the rumored price increase.
