2021 JLUR Gecko Ordered 5/4/21 Delivered 8/27/21
Just checked in with Jeep Chat and parts are still being gathered for my build. Had I known it would take this long Im not sure I would've done Gecko/GG. I could've had my Jeep back towards the end of May more than likely without these 2 options.

and about $1500-2000 cheaper because it would’ve been ordered prior to the increase.

If my Jeep ends up being $2k more than when I originally ordered it they will 100% be selling it to someone else. I’ve already lost most of my interest in it.

Might as well post up! I bought this 3yrs ago right after my Hellcat as a winter vehicle. Did help it was my favorite color. This cloth interior and no bells and whistles plain ass Jeep won me over. So much so selling the HC and upgrading to a 392. It's true what they say. You don't get until you do get it.

I may be mistaken but I think the price increase went into affect he same time Gecko came online to order. It wouldn’t be more than you ordered but if you had ordered prior to Gecko it would’ve most likely been in before the overall price increase.

I understand what you mean now, I agree and had I not been waiting for Gecko I would've ordered even sooner

I'm about 24 hours away from pulling the trigger on a Gecko Rubicon XR. Have you wheeled with this color? How does it handle light scratches? It looks like it would actually hide them pretty well, but I'd love to hear from an owner. I don't baby my Jeeps and I overland extensively. OTOH, I don't like them to look like crap when they're all cleaned up. I enjoy bright colors. If I wanted easy, I'd just get Fridge White and be done with it.

Any insight would be mucho appreciated. Thank you.

I can say the shop that cares for my vehicles(Chicago Auto Pros) well does the biweekly washes, coatings ect. has said that Mopar paints are far better then most brands. Though I don't off road much she's a 16 with over 100k miles and when washed still shines like new. What minor imperfections she has due to time you really have to focus on to notice. Love the color. I think you will as well.
