I tried to do the same thing with a Sport S and Rubicon, but was around 46,XXX for the Sport S and 51,xxx for the Rubicon, ...where are ya'll getting the 2k difference?
By the time I added on new wheels and new tires and a couple of accessories I was within $2,000 of the Rubicon the way I configured it. I do not like the Sport wheels or tires. So swapping those out is roughly $2000-2500 depending on wheel/tire combination.

I am thinking about having my flares Line x in sting gray color. Anyone done this before or have comments?
I'm also thinking about having the black flares and black freedom top sprayed with Line-X (probably keep it black though) in a couple years when they start fading or get scuffed up. Anyone done this??

Thanks for the response, ...I kept the stock wheel/ tire combo, as that will be immediately replaced anyway. I'm sure that was a big chunk of it.

Additionally, does anyone that has ordered a Sport S with Max Tow package noticed it shows it come with body colored flares? My dealer says they confirmed this. I'd be happily shocked if so.

The Sport S I've seen with Max Tow was black fenders. (And the one that @WXman posted in his video was also black.) I think the "in color" doesn't mean paint color, rather the 2 pieces match. It's poorly worded.

The only way to get color matched fenders is with a Rubicon, an Overland or to order them after the fact and install them.

Poorly worded, indeed.

I figured as much. I just ordered the exact same model in Sting minus the Homelink. Even my dealer thinks this is "body color matched" . Will be interesting to see what happens when it arrives, ...whenever that is.

"Molded-in-color" means exactly what it says...the material is actually molded in that color. As opposed to the fancier fenders on the Overland which are painted whatever color they are to be.

Still on hold until all of the features I want are available. But very jealous of those of you who have gotten to place orders all ready. Hope to be able to join you soon!! :rock:

Just ordered my Stingray Gladiator! I’m so excited!! I had originally planned to order the Sport S with max tow but kept pulling back to getting the Rubicon. I’ve driven the Overland and got to drive a Rubicon this morning. Feels completely different from the Overland. The Overland feels more like an SUV, where the Rubicon feels more rugged like a truck. Both drive really well! Definitely tell a difference in the different suspensions. Dealer said it should be delivered in 6-8 weeks. I can’t wait to get it!!
I heard 14 weeks for sting grey. I hope you are right! I ordered mine this past Thursday

I was 6 weeks to the rail yard. Maybe another 1-2 weeks from here. I was faster than most but it must have been karma for waiting so long on my first order.

That's good, maybe I'll be quick. I got black fenders and hard top, rubicon with a manual xmsn. upgraded stereo package, trailer package, and aux switches. not a lot of bells and whistles

I'd think that you should just wait before you Line-x them, otherwise it seems counter-productive. I've seen it a couple times in person (one truck I saw completely Line-x'd and that looked awesome), but all in all, not soo different that it's worth doing now.

But eventually, go for it. It looks nice.
