Is that the @Rau Racing Wheels treatment? They do a nice job.

Sure is...the wheel is a work of art!

Love the tow hooks. I am assuming you took the bumper off to paint these?

no, just taped off and used panther pink plastidip. Front is fine, rear is going to require little more work

Got mine 11/1! Kept fenders and top black and love the way it looks!

This comforts me, it looks great! Wasn't sure how it would look as I haven't seen any other Rubicons yet with the black top. Most people seem to be going the full color match route. I got the XR package with matching fenders but stuck with the black top.

Hey Greg, thanks for that shout-out.
People from the Panhandle, are just superior!

Here's a studio shot of Greg's wheel -

When will this be orderable at your web site? Would the steering wheel be available separate from the kit!

Kent,

We hate to admit it, but that site is in need of an update.
Pricing is dated, newer projects are not listed.

So, following that confession, it's best and quickest to contact us via email or directly by phone:

Parts and particularly steering wheel options are best discussed in real time.

Thanks

I'm waiting patiently (NOT) for my Tuscadero 392 Rubi to be built. Have the VIN, so game on now.
Waiting is painful, but it will be worth it. That color is showing up in hi res pics and it looks amazing. The pearl in that pink flips in all different types of lighting. Amazing color.

I’m sorely tempted to take a couple of hours tomorrow to drive to a dealership that has one in stock, just to see it in person.

It is an amazing color, to be sure! Seeing in person is helpful because the photos can only do so much. I've found the same to be true with other Jeep colors (Sarge, Gecko, Sting, etc).

Agree on it being a great color. Its kind of like Hydro in my opinion that the pearl really gives it a lot of depth in person

I assume the pearl is why I find it dramatically more appealing than when Dodge used it as Furious Fuchsia?

Believe it or not, it was a pearl coat when Dodge used it, too.

Huh. Clearly I need to see them in person side by side, because when I see photos of a Challenger in that color, it does nothing for me (and I love bright colors).

My own completely unsupported theory is that Furious Fuscia Challengers were often photographed using older phones. Magenta is a really hard color for cameras to render properly because it’s a mix of red and violet, which are at opposite ends of the color spectrum. Newer cameras account for this through processing, so you’re getting a better representation of the color on the Wrangler.

At least, that’s my theory, because I agree they look different.

Interesting theory. I know the first time I nearly got whiplash when I spotted a Bikini JL in front of a dealership, I discovered how hard it was to take a color-accurate photo of it. Punk’n I’m sure suffered from problems along those lines too.
