How did you get a hold of Kent? I've sent multiple emails with no reply. I tried calling but he is never available and they transfer me to the 'sales tower' which doesn't sound friendly. TIA

Kent is busy and doesn't spare a lot of time for tire kickers or chit-chat. When you're ready to pull the trigger, email him with your order. I emailed Kent in early November with my order and asked for a price. A few days later he called me and said Sarge wasn't available yet. He gave me a quote on my build in another color (about 7% below invoice) I told him I'd wait for a little while to see if Sarge became available. On Dec. 6 I learned from this community that Sarge was available, so I sent him another email to confirm. He responded on 12/7, sent a new build in Sarge, we talked, and I signed the order sheet that afternoon.

Here's his contact info:

Alright, thanks. I did send him my order to quote so just unlucky I guess. I'll keep trying.

He's a really nice guy -- he's not intentionally ignoring you. Call and leave a voice mail -- try for a couple of days in a row, and you will get through and get your order placed. It took me an email and two calls, and then boom, order in. We put my wife's 2 dr JLR in on Nov 25. Super nice guy. But probably (one of) the busiest dealer salesman in the country.

Color wise, I went with white because I didn't care for any of the color options besides Hydro and thus will wrap it instead. We went with Chief Blue for the wife's 2 door (will be delivered likely in Jan '21) so I didn't want a blue.

So the current plan is to get PPF on the vehicle and then add a wrap. Thinking of something along the lines of the color below -- different green than sarge (I don't care for sarge). Then add custom tan interior w/ ventilated seats. Once done it'll be on 37's (40's for Moab), Savage wheels, King 2.5's (w/ reservoir's and adjusters) with about 3" of lift.

Thanks everybody. You're right, I just needed to be a bit more patient. My order is moving forward with Kent now.
