This is the plan for my Rubi when the stupid recalls get completed and I can bring it home. Dealer quoted me for a partner shop to do it at about the same price. I wanted to order it with the perforated leather, but this is definitely a better option. Looks great!
My deposit is on this one. Signed contract with shown price.

Great, so now even if the clutch recall is fixed, I still wont be able to pick it up. Even tho I'm getting it for a steal, I'm not even sure waiting on it is even worth it anymore :headbang:
It's like they don't WANT us to buy it so it gets discontinued. Just a few more standard options that I didn't want in the first place. I am pretty disappointed in the axle options also, considering what's available for the JL.... yeah, now I'm really happy I didn't wait to put my order in and...
Mine is still sitting at the dealer due to the "Stop Sale" order. Went to go see it a couple weeks ago for the first time. It's exactly what I wanted without custom ordering so I'm in for the long-haul, however it's getting harder with now actually needing a new vehicle as my current Jeep needs...
Just wait until the federal government withholds state funding until the respective states cave to EV mandates. And if people think it won't happen, just reminisce on how seatbelts, drinking age and smoking age came to be ✌
Not going to lie, I loved Boise when I visited for a few days. My wife lived in Nampa for a couple years as a teenager. I work on aircraft and a quick search showed mechanic jobs were countless; medical jobs (for the wife) were also paying much better. I joked that we should move up there; she...
Drove out to see mine in person for the first time today. 4 hours there, 30 minutes at the dealership and 4 hours back. As I said, been on the lot since February, so it's got some "lot rot", but nothing a detail won't fix.
I'm so ready to take it home :crying:
Mad respect for people that have...
Well mine is built and sitting at the dealership. But I didnt order it. But I beleive someone had and got tired of waiting to take it home. And now, as the new buyer, they won't let me take it home since the recall is a "do not drive" order. The dealership is checking on a weekly basis, but last...
I'm waiting on the aluminum production to belly up while they keep thinking it's the best option to reduce weight for EVs. It's 5 times more expensive than steel, more difficult to form (heat oxidation and cracking) and less corrosion resistant.... oh, and half the melting point on a car fire...
Working as a firefighter and having first hand experience with EVs, I never saw a car burn to the ground the way my first EV fire did. We couldn't do anything about it but keep spraying. Oh and the foam is useless too. I'm pretty sure we used over double the water.... definitely not an ideal...
I lived in NM for 5 years. If I was still out there and not climbing thru woodland rocky ORV parks, then a Mojave would have been the option for me. I used to love blasting thru the arroyos (dry sand creek/riverbeds) in my Ram 2500 Cummins at 45-50 mph. Yeah, it was a heavy recovery truck, but...
Thanks, yeah the Overland was going to be in my price range, but there was just something about the stance of it. I drove it, I parked it, I stared at it in a mall parking lot from a distance, I drove it again, I parked and stared at it again (I'm a creature of habit :CWL:) but I just couldn't...
I'm all about spending a little more for less hassle, especially in regard to dealer visits.... I also second (or 32nd) going to Autozone and pucking one out myself. I don't like them for much else, but their battery supplier has been revered as the best in the industry. I just coughed up the...
Can't pick mine up until September due to the clutch recall, but mods are already in the shopping cart. With my XK, there was no aftermarket support, but now I think I'll def be going full Jeep-tard on this :CWL:
Thank you! I'm more than ecstatic. The bad news is that I'll be spending money on both now. I'm buying it to also give my XK a break on the daily mileage. I know it's not a thoroughbred Jeep, but I love it. It's got all the bells and whistles (for what 2006 offered) and I just can't bring myself...
