Progress of building and delivering the Eco-Diesel

[WMWHV]

The rail segment seems to be moving faster than anticipated on mine. It is currently in Arkansas City, KS and should arrive in the rail yard in Houston Friday night. Looks like I may have it in the driveway next week. FedEx damaged the JCR bumper, which was poorly packed in my opinion, so I may have to get it re-powder coated and the winch is backordered, but otherwise, I think most everything is on hand or on track for timely delivery. I will drive it a while before deciding what to do about a lift and tires. I may let some of you be the guinea pigs on the lifts.

Sam might have beat me here by a day but now I have keys in hand. Just need to finish up some paperwork and I will be good to go. Drives really nice. Good acceleration and the suspension is surprisingly softer than I thought it would be with the stiffer diesel springs.

Oh and online payload listing is accurate.

Congratulations. You win.

@Schreconjeep beat me to the finish line so I can’t claim that honor although mine was sitting in the lot when he picked his up.

Oops. Sorry about that. Congrats to both of you. I think within a couple of weeks, all the early adopters will be burning oil.

I hope to be, but still have no build date and "Jeff" hasn't responded to any emails asking about updates... 07/24 order date

Awesome bro!

The tire 'payload' sticker on the door jamb. Had to go back to work so I have not had a chance to look over it more. Tow rating would be whatever is published on the app/online and it looks like I have to wait until their system moves me from 'subscriber' of the vin in 'My Garage' to Owner to see all the data like I can with my grand cherokee.

Any chance you can take a pic of your GVW sticker in the door? Was hoping to get an idea on the towing capacity? Would really appreciate it!

still waiting on 1st diesel post.....dealer said it should be arriving this week...anybody else with positive news??

Hoping mine arrives sometime this week as well. I am less than an hour from the plant, so you’d think it wouldn’t be that hard

 

[angrynewyorker]

Well, mine made it to the dealer. Just received these pics.

Sure, when I get there to get it if someone else hasn’t already. They are putting new wheels and leveling kit (putting winch on this weekend if all goes well and wanted it level before I put it on to prevent sag) on it tomorrow before I pick up.

Thanks and I am so happy for you and jeasloy at the same time. I like that your getting the aftermarket put on now too. Which leveling kit and how high? Tire size?
