I saw a picture somewhere (can't remember if here, fb, instagram, etc.) of a Punk'n on a semi transport rolling down the highway today...

Edit:
There it is! Was on FB:

This wait is getting painful. At first I thought waiting till August 5th would be bad when they first leaked the schedule but this extra 2 weeks is making it even worse. At this point will we even see Hydro Blue before the holidays... ugh!!!
"Hanukkah Blue" will be the new name :CWL::CWL::CWL:.

Sorry, you gotta laugh to keep from crying sometimes.

If blue is released tomorrow y'all can thank me. I caved and decided I couldn't wait anymore, bought a red rubi. Figured as soon as I buy something else they will release the blue finally after.

I will have to suffer with a second rate color and will admire y'all that waited.

I head they ran a test run on the color the other day. Could be soon since that is what they did with the Punk’n and they are cranking through them! Well, except mine for some reason.... :crying: I really hope your bank opens up so that beautiful color will be seen out on the roads!

That's because BrianEl made the ultimate sacrifice. \/

I'm waiting for gator, but the sooner they knock out Blue the sooner they can open my color. So I'm rooting for y'all

Not yet. I'd LOVE to call someone at JEEP that would be able to give us some kind of date instead of bothering the messenger...

Personally, I don't think it's smoke at all. I think they are purposefully delaying colors to get people to jump ship and start buying all the black, red, silver and white gladiators still sitting on all the lots. See post 289..........

That only makes sense if they stopped all orders. I still haven't seen a Rubicon with the right equipment for me to buy it off the lot in any color. I would sooner believe that they are trying to clear a backlog of orders in the colors they have released. But I honestly think they are working on their paint process and it is causing the delays. Just my speculation based on what we have seen so far
