Welcome to the yellow can club.
I like it a lot, and i've got as much to say about it as anyone ( see post #1219, birth of the YCC), But I'll go with what ever the group picks.
I like your shadowing on the letters, and the over all graphic design quality jumps out at you. We could definitely use your talents to help make the finale design PoP.

When did you pick up your diesel?
Thanks for the welcome!

Happy to help out if y’all need/want it for final touch-ups. As far as materials, Stickermule offers a wide variety of materials. Different materials/styles can be made to give everyone options for final applications.

I’m still waiting for me JLRUD. It was built last Thursday, waiting for inspection.

I went and weighed the Jeep! About 3/4 tank of fuel, full DEF and nothing else inside. This is without me in the Jeep

As expected, the 850lb listed payload capacity on the sticker is at odds with the actual curb weight and GVWR (6100lbs). Why is this difficult for FCA to straighten out?

This is within 20 lbs of what TFL got, almost certainly due to fuel difference. Also of interest is the comparison to their JT 3.6 (scale weights below). All of the hoopla about tons of extra weight on mostly the front axle with the diesel is mostly nonsense.

Fascinating. Earlier Window Stickers had 60K and newer are 100K (judging by my small sample size). Maybe 60K was a mistake.
I discovered that the vehicles with a gasoline engine have the 5yr/60K powertrain warranty. The diesel's are 5yr/100K. So, it looks like it was a mistake on the earlier window stickers (not yet updated to the diesel engine).

Cwu21, Your not alone, I ordered 10/14, still waiting, got the build sheet and window sticker and I do think it is in inspection, hope it ships soon.
I ordered on 10/14 as well. Dealer has the window sticker but the vehicle is still in inspection.

For y'alls consideration.
This is just a low-res version for review. The original file is vector.
Small detail: I gave Eugene 7 teeth to match

his namesake's grille.

I've been a Jeep person for 40 years and this is the first I've ever seen of Eugene the Jeep. How did I miss this LOL? I like the sticker with or without Eugene--this is my favorite look so far.

I would guess the payload is figured on the heaviest available config. As long as your gvwr is 6100 or less and your not over axle weights it dosent matter what the payload sticker is.

I’m not seeing 150 lbs of options to be added to these essentially loaded rubicons being weighed.

Cwu21,

I know how you feel. I’m 2 VIN behind you, and it hasn’t even shipped yet. Last I heard it’s in inspection. Taking over a month to get from Ohio to you is terrible. I’m a bit closer to Ohio.....maybe mine will only take 3 1/2 weeks shipping........
I am in central Florida and mine shipped the 10th March and is scheduled in Jacksonville Fl the 27th. I am told it gets inspected by the train yard then should be in central Fl the 2nd of April. The trip is 1100 miles. You would think anything in the continental US should be within a few weeks.

Rockhard midwidth aluminum bumper and smittybuilt winch added yesterday. Ran out of daylight. We will spool up the winch today. Have the LOD rear bumper and tire carrier to do yet and I'm a bit nervous about the sensors.

So I’m about a week away from getting my diesel. Any suggestions or pointers. Dealer wash or no wash. Anything at all let me know. Thanks.
Don’t let them wash it, they will swirl up your paint pretty good. If that sort of thing doesn’t bother you then I guess it doesn’t matter, but to me it does, I do detailing on the side and I did not let them touch one thing. Drove it home with all the plastic on the seats and whatnot. I will spend 2 1/2 to 3 full days doing a complete detail and ceramic coating myself, and the less swirls I have to buff out the better.

Not sure what you mean by "front and front side angle". Here's a couple shots from today. It's finally sunny. Amazing the difference in this color depending on the angle of the sun.

That is a real eye catching color.
Mine does the same thing in different light conditions.
