Ive been keeping in contact with a few of the dealers as im trying to nail down the ultimate price for a JLUR with all options and waiting on Mopar list..Had a face to face talk at my dealer yesterday (22/01/2019). Now it is going to be the first full week in February before they will have a vehicle to test drive.
They are only getting one, as are most dealers unless they are a large dealer in which case they will get two.
The vehicle they get will not be for sale, or not until they get more stock that is due March/April. So the sampler is just to help get firm orders/deposits.
My dealer will be getting an Overlander, so at least its not the base model we get to look at, and test drive. From what I can gather they are going to try and keep the test drives nice and short, though he was talking about how they could take them off road and still be covered by insurance.
Hopefully only another few weeks to wait.
ARB are no longer my go to. they are behind the times in ideas and styling , so maybe for the JL it is still a good fit :DAfter ringing ARB, my local ARB guy said they are already selling JL gear in the USA I should hay a look at the ARB USA web page.
They are primed and ready for the Australian JL release, they just want to confirm all measurements on the Australian model before releasing any information and pricing for Australian product.
