How close is Hydro Blue to Ford's Velocity Blue?

I *think* VB is a tad lighter. They are pretty close. I've been trying to find one in the parking lot as I have wondered the same but no luck yet.

Just got back from Sand Hollow over the weekend. Had a great weekend, no damage. Wife drove the entire trail. 38 degree climbs and decents make the butt pucker. Hahaha!!

Thank you! It's been a looooong and emotionally challenging 11 months, with lots of twists and turns along the way, but I can finally drive it away on Friday.
Just in time for the weekend and a public holiday!

Dang 11 months?! This is my first wrangler and my build took 12 weeks. I can’t imagine waiting as long as you did! Good things come to those who wait!

Yeah. The entire ordering process and system is way different for Australia. Add Covid into the mix and our wait times have blown out exponentially. It's more than 18 months if you order now.
This was supposed to arrive in June 2020.
I've learned a lot of things since I first ordered in Feb last year!

Woah, this is a new one to me. So in Australia, you get tow hook covers? I wonder why? And the steel bumper gets the fender infills? Do the entire ends still come off? I assume it's a Rubicon? Even the vented hood looks different!

I noticed that, too.

I noticed that, too.

Wonder if those could be ordered as would keep the bumper ends a tad cleaner, especially since I live on a dirt road

Yes, yes, yes and yes. I don’t know about the US, but here, a Wrangler Rubicon is a top of the line luxury car. So, all the things
It might be to protect them from paint damage during shipping?

I have so many gadgets and swag to sort through in the morning. I don’t even know what half of the things are!
I’ve already learned a lot from the last 11 months on this forum. Time to learn the AU version

They came with here.
In saying that, I’ve noticed a lot of differences between the US and AU offerings.

I don’t know, but I don’t think so. I haven’t found a Mopar winch guard here yet. I’ll eventually ask my dealership. The main Jeep site in Aust., is jeepaustralia.com.au

They might be able to help?
