Wtf, you bought one today? Off a lot?
Not to speak for him but I remember him saying a local dealer had some coming in so he bought it or put a down payment on it before it got to the dealer. But basically bought it off the lot.

Exactly. I initially went in to order an LE but decided against it once I was told it could be August before it gets here. My dealer said they had three pre specs coming in, one black rubi was already taken which was going to be the first one in the area. Somehow mine showed up three weeks early and before the black rubi, making mine the first in the Hampton Roads area.

I had some difficulty at the dealer though, took over four hours to sort things out with insurance, my bank and the dmv since it is a brand new car and is in no ones systems yet. There is no title yet either, just a MFO (?) saying that Jeep made it. The title will be done in about a month, which obviously the bank doesn’t like. And insurance didn’t have any information on it so it was hard to get a quote. For everyone’s SA, I used Navy Federal Credit Union, USAA car insurance and the Virginia DMV. All parties tried to make it as smooth as possible, but still took a while. Just wanted to give y’all a heads up in case anyone runs into that issue as well.

First off, I’m a Lowe’s guy, but I’ll try later! Have to go work and then get ready for a little road trip tomorrow.... first to 1,000 miles? Or first to get stuck off road?

Sorry to hear about all the headaches. Sounds like it was a big, time consuming pain in the rear end. But just remember what Steffen707 said. Road trip can wait for a quick trip to Lowes for a fast plywood picture. Then you can tell everyone about the results. Lots of people here are waiting for that picture of just one sheet of plywood in the bed. Nike, just do it. And again congrats on your purchase, sweet looking ride.

It’s at least 4”x8”! Does the contest specifically speak to 4’x8’? @5JeepsAz ?? Rules committee!!

I'm so with you brother. King Plywood over there kicked me outta the contest cause my original Kaiser-Willys Jeep pickup isn't new enough! That is soooo AMC takeover. What, cause I don't have ESS? And then he outlawed the rules committee!!! I mean, I like the King, on a personal level he's authentic Plywood. He's been really good about sharing thoughts and opinions. And I get it's difficult managing fluid situations like Plywood Nation. But damn, he's stubborn!!! Anyways, really liked your plywood photo. Looking forward to seeing it on your LE. On that day the King shall be giving out an award, I can pernally say that for sure!
