The order for my Granite JLUR was placed on 3/9/2018. I took delivery of the vehicle on 4/9/2018, EXACTLY 1 month to the day after the order was placed. Besides the standard Rubicon equipment, I had my JLUR optioned with Customer Preferred Pkg 24R...Trailer Tow & HD Electrical Group (mainly for the AUX switches); LED Lighting Group; Infotainment System; Remote Start; Auto 8-Speed Transmission & the 3-Piece Hard Top. I also purchased an extended warranty because this is the first year for the 8-Speed Automatic Transmission and I'm not sure of the overall reliability of the system.
The first pictures are of the stock vehicle and will serve as the "PRE" set of pictures prior to the build-out. The "POST" pictures will hopefully be posted within the next week to 10 days after the build is complete...which should hopefully be this coming Friday, 4/20/2018. The following items are being replaced/added to the vehicle...
