That picture is a lot easier to stomach than if it was a picture of a $60k (stock) rig and probably the biggest reason most of us don't try to push them to their full capacity.
He told me it's *typically* 7-10 days after it arrives in Utah to come in via truck. I'll keep updating so the others ordering from Peterson will know what to expect.
Brown leather looks great. Considering Katzkins but I have had to pull drain plugs on more than one occasion. I'm pretty sure leather seats wouldn't like my negligence.
I ordered mine through Kent at Petersen Jeep. He's been good at keeping me updated through occasional emails. It seems like they've got a well oiled machine there.
If I wanted to get an automatic, I would probably opt for the Max Tow. Might be worthwhile to mock up a build on Jeep's website to see where it's at pricewise compared to the used market which is really crazy right now. Use the final price for the build mock-up as the "out the door" price as a...
I'm excited for you! You went through a pretty excruciating process on deciding whether or not to even order yours and a lot of second guessing after you did order. For reference, mine was "built" on the 24th and "shipped" yesterday. Maybe the shipping process will be faster than we anticipated.
Absolutely agree. Even with lower beltlines I managed to back up into a parked truck and crease my trunk one time (and I am someone who is typically very aware of my surroundings). I don't like the auto mirrors that point downward when you put it in reverse as I prefer to use mirrors to back up.
It's all about liability. A strong case can be made for backup cameras. Nearly all of us have backed up a little too far and given a "love tap" to something behind us. No big deal if insurance doesn't get involved. It becomes a real big deal when you hit a child you don't see.
I was "in production" on May 12 with an estimated June 14 delivery date. That got bumped back to "TBD". Today I have "Build Sheet Found". That's a huge step in the right direction. We all know that YMMV a lot on orders, but wanted to share a frame of reference for others near my order window.
I think I'm sold on getting either a Softopper or Agri-cover but am curious about a couple of things.
I expect the initial assembly will take some time and that's fine, but what's your experience with removal and remount? I don't think I want it on all the time. Is it a one person job and how...
My 2020 JL would do this on occasion (like every couple of months). It was a short burst of crackling and it would reset the radio clock. It happened so rarely that I never got it checked out.
It's heartwarming to hear stories of all the kids learning to drive manual transmissions. My daughter learned on my TJ. The skills came in handy when she applied for a job washing semi trucks at age 19. Cute little blonde 5 foot nothing wearing heels to her interview. "Yeah, well you have to...
