Got the call yesterday and brought it home this afternoon! Tested the 4WD modes on some steep gravel backroads on the way home just to familiarize myself again with the controls. Once home I installed some 1 Up bike racks with Kuat Pivot swing arm (swings to passenger side before openings back gate). This is going to be a fun vehicle! Also- thanks to many of you here for some advice along the way. Most recently thanks to those who gave suggestions the last week for coming up with a plan for presenting price protection. The dealership already had the 22 to 22.5 price protection ready to go this time, but I was adamant that I was also due the 21 to 22 difference despite my changes made along the way. I gave them the PMG code for 21 to 22 and asked they enter it into their order system. It seemed they were curious but also trying to appease me, and look at that, the additional certificate was there! Full price protection.

Looking good! Congrats!

Looks GREAT!
Carbonized Gray was my other color and I'm still not certain I chose correctly, Haha.
Glad you finally got it home!!

Congrats! How do you like the rack. Doesn't the Kuat open more than 180 so you can fully open the tailgate as well?

Finally after three weeks of shipping and a installation glitch got the the wheels/tires upgraded. Also did a few quick, inexpensive interior upgrades (all of those I got on Amazon). Not pictured is the Rough Country tail light extension. In a couple of months I'll take care of the fog lights, tray table and some Molle panels.

My wife's pavement princess is ready to go.

Edited: Added a few more mod pictures. Fog lights, grab handles and SAS fender flares for winter driving

Looks really good. Well done.
Are you LED panel lights work well?
I recently decided to renovate the lighting system in my garage. I also had led panels then. They worked terribly. Constantly disconnected at the wrong time. But, then I found out that in the garage it is better to use a special consecration for the garage. This article has been helpful.
They work perfect. No issues at all. They can run up to 10 on one plug. They just chain together.

Cole, sorry if I missed but where did you buy those lights and what did the cost each? I need more in my workshop. Can’t have enough light in a workshop

Congrats! How do you like the rack. Doesn't the Kuat open more than 180 so you can fully open the tailgate as well?
I wanted the rack to mount a cargo box for road trips, even if the roof only supports 110 lbs dynamic. You can still remove the very front roof panels. I just mounted the Thule carrier (large), and it is pretty noisy above 55 mph- no whistling noises thankfully. As for the Kuat Pivot, the tailgate doesn't quite open all the way because the spare tire hits my 1 up rack with the Kuat at full open (which I believe is 120 degrees). It's not really important, because the tailgate still clears 90 degrees and then some.
