HYDRO BLUE Wrangler JL Club

[rcadden]

We didn't catch that our Rubicon would only come with the red stitching and dash when we ordered it. I love this thing, but cannot stand the red accents on the Hydro Blue. I don't get why Jeep would not offer the blue accent on ALL of them, instead of making it a 4XE option only. Yours looks great!

This is a significant part of the reason I don't have a Rubicon. The only way to get rid of that fugly red stitching is to order it with a tan leather interior (which, admittedly, looks nice with the Hydro) and then Katskinz back to black (if you want black). The dash panel is easy to swap - it's the stitching that kills it.

At the factory, they have 4 stitching colors:
- Black (Sahara)
- Grey (Rubicon w/ tan interior)
- Red (Rubicon)
- Camel/Cream (392)
- Blue (4xe)

I wish they would just have a ~$300-400 "blackout" option that gives black badging/stitching to any trim.

Got some upgrades this week. New wheels, tires, steps, bull bar and mudflaps.

Love the 4xe blue on the Hydro. I *almost* went with the blue hooks for my Sahara when I got the steel bumper, but got a pair of JT Mojave ones for free and I like the splash of orange, so now I'm doing all of my recovery gear orange.

Dangit, and that's the whole part of this thread, lol. Updated - thanks.

Did you have to drill holes in your bumper for the bull bar? My bumper does not have mounting holes.

No, the steel bumpers come with all the holes and bolts already.

The color was close but not perfect so I ordered some MOPAR hydro blue spray paint and sprayed them for a perfect match.

That's not a bad idea. I have some of those aluminum covers that fit on my HVAC/volume knobs. But the blue is definitely a bit....off

I also sprayed the Speaker surrounds. Paint match was perfect with the blue spec in it like the Jeep body paint.

Thanks! Had the chance to finally install them with the spring weather and the SOT roof open. So close to going fully topless! But without the hassle of removing the roof.

Why?

 

[Bill_BCNtoNY]

Why?

A combination of a faulty brake booster at <1k miles that pretty much left it undriveable for three months and a poor experience from Jeep corporate to address the issue (happy with the dealer service though).

So, I decided to have them buy it back and am looking into buying a used, out-of-warranty JL that I don’t have to rely on Stellantis to fix if sth goes wrong (hopefully never, of course).
