Very jealous seeing all these deliveries! I ordered back on July 5, and not a single update.

Same here, haven’t spotted any JL outside of the local dealer lot, though to be fair I may simply not be very good at spotting them (the only features that really jump at me quickly are the rear lights and the newer colors; if I drove past a black JL and a black 2017 JK I’m not sure I could tell them apart at a glance).
Funny, I wrote this a couple of days ago - then the following day I actually spotted 3 JLs in the wild!! I guess they’re not that hard to spot after all, even for a relative newbie like me.
I first saw a gorgeous Firecracker Red Rubi with premium soft top and briefly chatted with the owner, then later on drove past an Ocean Blue JLU, and finally came across a Silver JLU later that same night. They all looked fantastic. No 2-doors though, and no Sting Gray! Can’t wait to see one soon, hopefully mine :fingerscrossed:

You're going to love it. I know I have been enjoying the heck out of mine. I just wish I could make up my mind on which mods to do. It is difficult because of all the options and I keep second guessing myself.

Yours looks like a twin of mine! :like:
I ordered the 2.0L, which is slowing things down quite a bit. But they say good things come to those who wait.
Which mods are you most excited about?

On the side look for the vents. Front look for fender lights. Those are the things you can notice fast when in motion.

Curious as to why? I know it's none of my business but..............
Don't really need the extra length and never carry passengers. Appreciate the higher break-over angle and maneuverability on the tight trails I run. And once I saw that color in person, "I think it moved, Jerry."

That is the hardest part and most frustrating part of the wait time for an order .. hopefully you will get it soon

Mine sat waiting to truck about 500 miles for almost three weeks.

Thanks @BillG.

You’re spot on, the front fender lights are what caught my attention on at least one of those. The rear lights also have a very distinctive shape. And of course the premium soft top stands out. Thanks for flagging the side vents, I’ll keep an eye out for those as well! Exciting to see more JLs on the road.

I got one of the first Renegades in 2015, and it was a similar pattern: at first I couldn’t see any; then there was a slow dribble; and suddenly the flooodgates opened and they were everywhere!

Probably the first major purchase will be 35in tires followed closely by AEV Borah bead lock wheels (if I can convince myself to spent that much $), the 2.5 MOPAR lift, functional side rock rails, both front and rear bumpers, winch, differential skids, a front axel disconnect skid, and probably a rear shock relocation kit to raise the lower shock mounts. I can see this taking some time to accomplish because I want to do it right and everything for the JL seems to cost quite a bit. I don't foresee myself off-roading all the time but I want it to be very capable. I have hopes of trying the Rubicon trail someday.

Forgive my ignorance, but I’m new to Wranglers and even newer to mods... Besides looking awesome, what are the pros & cons of getting bigger tires and a lift? It seems like it would make your JL even more trail capable, but my understanding is that it might decrease drivability on highways, and stability in tight curves / strong winds? I don’t have my JL yet but I’m already curious about 35s... ;)
