Drove up to the show today and the 2 door was definitely with a body color top.
The body color was quite different from the AMB F150 that was sitting 15 yards away under the same lighting. The tube frame door , 2 door was darker , much darker than the production vehicle. I suspect that this is because it was a preproduction model and might have to do with ? paint color coat thickness , primer coat color or metallic flake density ? In any event I suspect that the ultimate product will be closer to the F150 since it came off a production line and was not a hand painted one of.
The 4 door A51 in person was much more pleasing than multiple photos that I have seen and was lighter and more blue than an Amazon truck. Very pretty actually . Still not my cup of tea.
Last week I saw the COP in person at a DFW dealer on a Ranger and while it was pretty it was definitely close to a pearl metallic school bus color. Not really my cup of tea.
After much thought it looks like the order will go in for AMB a with late availability painted top ( body color or black ) and an aftermarket red leather upholstery
badlands 4dr 33s standard wheels. 2.3, manual , high, trailer package
Although the 4 door was Sasquatched the 2 door with 33s appeared as though the seat height was slightly higher than my FJ with 32s.
Overall the vehicle looked better in person than expected. For those wondering about the 35s I would suggest a quick trip to their local tire dealer to toss around a mounted 35 and a slightly lighter 33. They are both beasts. But the 35 is a significantly bigger beast.
The high point of the trip was a very nice member of the list who had driven all the way from Austin to OKC with his wife and kids and was just as nerdy and excited as I was to see them in person. If everyone on the list is as nice as them we are all in for an a terrific adventure and shared ownership experience with fellow enthusiasts.
