Robieman: Pics please. I have an ocean blue coming.
I should add, that the color, to me at least, on a cloudy day is somewhat dark, and seems to have a slight purple tint. But in the sun, it is very blue and just sparkles. When you look close, it has a lot of metal flake in the paint, and it really glistens! If you are a fan of blue paint, I think you will love the Ocean Blue.

Taking a hint from someone else on the list, I ordered a "generic" mat for the rear from Amazon and got it trimmed and installed over the weekend. Not as nice as a Weathertech or Husky but for a third of the price so far so good. The size was large enough to allow it to come up on the sides and down in front of the seat. Should allow my Aussie to ride along without me fretting too much!

So glad to back in a jeep! Haven't done much but wax it with Meguiar's Cleaner wax - unreal the dark (blackish) stuff that came off an otherwise looking pristine paint. Put in a WeatherTech rear cargo mat - PERFECT fit and mold, waiting for the plastic door sill protectors to be delivered, order a Bestop Sunrider top that replaces the Freedom Panels, taken gazillion pics, researched to ad nauseam - ha ha! OH - and I got this free sweet tire cover at the dealer but it had the dealer emblem painted really large on the lower side. Quick call to our custom seat guy and he got the logo out and resprayed to match the black. PERFECT!

My only question for now is do I have to get a lift kit to put on Rubicon size tires (32 or 33 inch). I don't even know the inches of my tires but they are the all terrain Bridgestone Duelers.

No lift needed. You may want to pick up a 2 door Rubicon take-off suspension to give it a slight lift for aesthetics, though.

I swapped Rubicon wheels in and I think they look great with the stock A/T tires. You’ll pay a bit to have the mounting and balancing done, but you’ll keep the better ride and the accurate speedometer and odometer.

Finally got to swapping the Rubi suspension, wheels and tires. Didn't take long, pretty straight forward. Swapped the shocks and springs. Had the lower control arms from the Rubi, but the part numbers were the same as my stock Sport. The front sway bar links seems kind of short for the new suspension at full droop, so I took the Rubi rear sway bar links and put them on the front. I measured before and after (bottom of the pinch weld front and rear). The tires raised it about an inch, the springs added 1-1/2" for a total of 2-1/2" They came off a 4dr Rubicon with a hard top so I think it has the stiffer springs. Rides real good, as smooth or smoother than stock. Steering might be a little lazier than before. Got a great deal locally for everything at $900 so I'm thrilled.

Looks great! I think I read the 2-door and 4-door Rubicon have different front shock valving? I think I remember reading the front shocks on the 2-door being firmer then the 4-door?

First Jeep since early 70’s, have wanted one a long time. Red JL, 3.6, 8sp auto, tow package and Alpine upgrade. Love the stereo. Added Mopar running boards, Mopar door sill plates and a little old school pinstripes

That was a great price. I paid more for just five Rubi wheels and tires for my 2014 Sport a few years ago.
