Today I took my first road trip in my SG. Still under 500 miles total in 5 days, but I drove 2.5 hours one way today and learned some sh!t.

Like, the auto engine stop thingy, if you come to a stop and don't hold the brake pedal through the floor, the start/stop doesn't activate. (See if that changes as brake pads wear and I am forced to press harder to keep JT from rollin)

I opted for the 8.4 screen and stereo and its freaking killer. Could it be better, sure but it is an open air vehicle and its loud and clear. The steering wheel does shake a bit with bass, but not horrible like some dudes earlier were talking about. Again, they are big speakers in the dash (not in doors since doors come off) which is directly adjacent to the steering column, what could/should one expect, it's tight.

I think I'm the only SG JT in the Chicagoland area, and by the looks I got at a gas station out in the corn fields today, it might be the only JT they ever see. I was stopped at a gas station by 3 old dudes asking me questions. It was hilarious. Not sure they knew WTF it was.

Anyways, here are some road photos from today. Wish I got one of the old guys when they were lookin' her over. Oh and a pic of the hard top, low budget, storage system I build last night.

I've always disliked the black plastic on any Jeep, and was planning to order color matched everything. However, after seeing the stinggrays being delivered, I think it needs either fenders or hardtop to be black. Otherwise it gets a little "blobish" (wife's words)

In D1 per chat, Ordered 7/17.... Dealer says ETA still showing 8/17 :fingerscrossed:
I’ve already sold the F150. Will be truckless for a wee bit.
Ahha! We are in a very similar boat, ordered mine on the13th, got vin on the 16th, jeep chat said D1 several days later, same status prior to last weekend. I'll check in with dealer this coming week. Also sold my leveled F150 with the 5.0 V8 and 35s for this. Ugh, hope it's worth it! Haha. Cheers!

I can vouch for the Quadratec stubby antenna. It actually does get really good reception.

I agree. Don't really dig black fenders and colored hardtop, but the other 2 option look really good. I went with both black fenders and hardtop not only the contrast is good but save money also!

Just heard from my dealer, ordered 8/9, went into D status today and got my VIN! Seems to be moving along nicely. Hopefully the wait to D1 wouldn't be bad.
