What’s coming first? The new TOOL album or my gladiator that I ordered 2 months ago?
TOOL album

This made me laugh for a good 5 minutes at my desk. I got more funny looks than usual

Imagine getting both on the same day? Be sure to wear your white pants (Deadpool reference)

Interesting, GM at my dealership just called and said first MT is being built today and mine will be sequenced 30-50 so as to avoid any mistakes....curious that there are some already delivered unless he meant first MT Rubi?

“17038661700 Depositing new message Hey Steve this is James Kenzie at Safford Jeep hey I just wanna follow up with you I got a text message from the Jeep Business Center last night. Alright so the plan is going to start building the manual transmissions. They're gonna try the first one today so that's good news for us and what I told them obviously we all know about your car including the folks at the plant but I've asked in the sequence yours roughly around like 30 to 50 in terms of the manual that goes to the plan I just want to be the first one I work with them long enough I just don't want to be the first one because that's that's one that sometimes there's some mistakes and things like that so anyways I just wanna let you know it's not gonna be August any more they're gonna build the first one today and hopefully I'll see years move from the current status which is scheduled into Gate Line probably tomorrow and once we get a gate line we're we're in good shape at that point it'll go through fairly quick. Okay. Anyways I just wanted to give you an update. It's Thursday. Alright see you bye bye.. Click here: 14699825000 to listen to full voice message.”

Apologies for the speak to text translation errors on the voicemail

My manual is a Rubicon and it’s already built. Just waiting to be shipped. I’m sure much more than 50 have been built. Sounds like your typical GM/Salesman.

Right?? Yeah not sure what he got from Jeep corporate, but as long as mine goes on the line tomorrow, I will be happy...until the most recent posts, the only MT's I was seeing built were Sports and Overlands, so I thought it might be reasonable that MT Rubicons were starting today, but not I guess if several of those orders are already built. There's a bunch of misinformation being spread and it is definitely frustrating.

The only part I have already is my bumper, but I have been looking at wheels and tires but haven't pulled the trigger. Still waiting on MetalCloak to have fenders ready for them and haven't committed to a lift yet. I saw a couple at Bantam with 37's on the stock suspension and there was plenty of room and I only plan on starting with 35's because most guys running 37's re-gear and I'm not ready for all of that. I ran 35's on my JK Rubi 2 dr with the 3.6 and had zero issues, but did have a 2.5" lift and fenders from MetalCloak on that...I liked the look and ride and had all the clearance I needed off road. Just hope I don't get hung up in some of the build stages. Saw one forum post on a different thread that someone was in shipping storage for like 3-4 weeks!!

Ive got wheels, tires, stabilizer and programmer at my house, dealer is gonna install the 2" mopar lift for me. I am gonna wait until after my trip to do the bumper and winch

The bad thing about everything is that I have rims and tires waiting to be put on.

what size wheels and tires are you running? Mine are sitting at the place I bought them at being stored away. The guy feels bad for me
