Florida Roll Call!

Boy, the price can jump way up there quickly! Looks like you got everything, except the kitchen sink! LOL

I have seen a couple over 60k. I was able to get JAX CJD to do 6% below invoice since I had purchased 2 other cars from them....so at least I stayed below 50k. This might be my Valentines Day present to myself.

I emailed the dealer that my Jeep was on the way from Toledo to Jacksonville CJD. I received the following response:

It is good to see it is getting close. The ETA for the vehicle getting to the port in Jacksonville is saying 1/30/19. Typically once they get to the port it takes a couple days to a week before they are put on a truck and brought to the dealership. I will keep following it though and I will ask the people at the port if we can come get it once it arrives and they finish inspecting it to speed that up a little bit. Most of the time they honor those requests.

The only thing that they could possibly install at port would be my hard top liner. If I recall reading correctly, those are installed at the factory in Toledo.

I see you also have a Miata, I had a 96 in Mint condition that i sold 2 years ago. What a fun little car, and I had the hard top for that as well. A guy from Chicago flew down to Orlando and paid me $6000 cash.

I have had a Miata as a second car now for almost 20 years. My first one was a 95 M Edition...the Merlot with the BBS rims. I take mine up to the Tail of the Dragon every year on the TN.NC border. www.tailofthedragon.com

There is a huge Jeep event in Pigeon Forge (Gatlinburg), TN every year in late August if anyone would like to caravan up. Tons of Jeeps, vendors and great mountain trails.

Maybe we can all meet up!! I usually park by where the Bass Pro Shop is and walk over the overpass.

Yours came with a decal?! WTH

When I buy mine at the shop there I don’t get one?! Maybe it’s a new thing this year?

Your cats in the dishwasher BTW

But I get it, probably the easiest way to clean a cat lol

 

[DWheelerR]

We always order ours the day after we leave Rolex . Maybe because we get the full package? Not sure. I've always got the decals and hats with our tickets in the mail. This year its gold for the 50th anniversary .

I usually get a media pass too for my job. (automotive photographer) but I stopped doing coverage the last few years .

And yes.. cats are way easier to clean in the dishwasher. Lol

Beautiful Rig !!!!!

Congratz !!

Hi Florida Jeeples !!!

I couldn't wait a full year to swap out 35's > 37"s ......Waiting on my dual Fox stabilizers and we go up !!

Also received my Jeep Beach 2019 packet today !!!

37's on 20" will look just fine. I wouldn't do 20" on anything less than 37" tires as it will begin to look awkward, but, that's just my opinion, not saying it's wrong.

I think you should be more concerned with putting 37's on a non-Rubi though.

I too have a Sport (with upgraded rear axle D44) and I would not trust that front axle (the weaker axle) with a 37" tire and 20" rim. Sure people do it and that's great but I wouldn't. Some people have done it and not re-geared and some people have done it and re-geared.

IF I were to do it, I personally would re-gear as well..

I run 33's right now on a 17" rim and its perfect for me. My plan is that when the tread is gone, I am going to lift it and run 35's on my 17" rim and I may also re-gear but wont have too.

With so many options its worth the investigation but I can tell you now, if you go that route (37's on 20's, do it right and just re-gear and get it out of the way. It would provide a much better ride.

I personally would just run 35's on 17's OR 35's on 18's and call it a day..

Thank you for your feedback. I think I'm going with 20s 35s.
Here is a quote given to me by my Local Dealer. What do you guys think? This is with me providing my own wheels and tires.
