Ok folks.. talk me off the ledge. My 2 door granite Rubi has been in d for 8 weeks now and I'm tempted to change it to a punkn.

Grey is my favorite color, orange is second. I used to have an orange international harvester scout. 1970. Loved that beast. My wife has a phoenix orange range Rover in the garage already....

Discuss amongst yourselves.....let me know what we have decided..

Love punkn but originally thought it would delay my order, show the dust and dirt more, and stand out and draw attention and I drive to juarez daily and don't really want to be the center of attention......

I like the red dash

I had a 2-Door Sport S in Ocean Blue on order since February 12th. I test drove a 4-Door Sahara in Granite last week and fell in love. Cancelled my 2-Door order and haven't looked back since.

.....realizing now that doesn't help you at all. But....hey....good luck!

Glad to be joining the club, absolutely love the look of this JL, I've had mine for almost 3 weeks now and I wouldn't trade it for any other colour!

I almost went with Rhino but thought better of it. I love this color! These are from the day I brought her home.

JL Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
My 2/6 order has been sitting in Alorton, IL for ~45 days now with no shipping ETA.

Loaded Granite Rubicon w/ dual top & regurlar bumper.

Anyone else been stuck there as long? Facility seems to have logistical constraints and getting worse by the day. Any reason i might be getting held for so long? TRMS was supposed to be equipped, but either the dealer or factory did not include it on the order/build sheet.

My 2/22 order was shipped last week from Ohio to NY, then back to Ohio. Neither the dealer nor Jeep have answers for me. This is all a big game to them. Jeep = Worst automobile company ever!!

My Rubicon just arrived at the dealership this afternoon, to the disbelief of myself and the dealership. Ordered 2/6 - was in Alorton ~45 days. Was given shipping dates/targets numerous times before getting defaulted to no ETA.

1st Jeep - excited to join in on the fun. Keep posting wheels / rims / etc. Look forward to getting ideas on how to best customize the rig.

Just switched over to full-time open rig! This is the most fun I've had with any vehicle, and I love California!

Hey guys, so I finally completed my move from New York to California, and got to work on my JLUR.

You may remember the photo of my parents picking it up from the dealership for me - it was used in a few articles, and I included it below as a reference point to where my Jeep is now.

As you will see, this is no rock-crawler build. This Jeep is my daily commuter, weekend offroader. Mostly forest trails, fire roads, desert, sand dunes, etc. My wife and I also have to load my 1 year old boy in, hence the step.

Here's what's done so far:

1. The wheels are Fuel Beast, 18" x 9", with 4.5" backspacing and -12mm offset.

2. The tires are 35" x 12.5" BFG KO2s.

This wheel and tire combo will make the tires stick out around 2" from the wheel wells, which I think looks awesome. It's a dramatic difference over the stock tires that hide inside.

I purchased the wheels and tires from ExtremeTerrain.com, which shipped them mounted and balanced with TPMS sensors. They went right on with no trouble. Big thanks to them!

3. Mopar 2" lift ordered through Quadratec.com. Installed at 4WheelParts with alignment done too.

4. Mopar tailgate reinforcement kit.

5. Mopar oversized spare tire kit (may not be necessary)

6. Mopar grab handles, front and rear.

7. Redrock 13" antenna.

In my garage, waiting to go on:

7. Mopar grille and winch guard hoop for Rubicon steel bumper.

8. ARB twin on-board compressor.

9. Smittybilt Gen2 X2O 10,000 lb. Winch, Synthetic Rope & Wireless Control

10. Spider Web Shade

Ordered, and waiting to come in:

11. JCR winch plate for Rubicon steel bumper

12. MORE trunk wall compressor mount

13. Aries ActionTrac power "step-within-a-step".
