The wait was worth it!
Picked up my 2 door/2.7/Mid BD today from the dealer. First impressions from a quick inspection and the drive home:
  • MIC top looks good! I will look at it closer tomorrow and see if I can find any imperfections, but overall it looks about how I would expect from molded plastic.
  • Cactus Gray looks great as always
  • I took the roof panels out for the ride home and they came out pretty easily even with the roof rails on.
  • The 32” Grabbers and the steelies look better in person, at least on the 2 door. I was thinking of upgrading to bigger tires, but I think that will get kicked down the road at least for a little while.
  • Averaged 21.1 mpg on my 80 mile drive home, switching between Eco and Sport mode and varying my RPM.
  • 8 inch screen is plenty big enough for my liking
  • Marine vinyl feels great, smoother than most vinyl seats I’ve felt. Feels a little different than my boat. Also feels like it could definitely get hot in the sun
  • Not a lot of rear seat legroom at 6-1, I won’t be using it but if someone is interested I added a pic!
  • With the seats folded down, there will be ample cargo room for my needs.

Wow! Love the way that Cactus shows different colors and shades at different angles!

Got my “built” email about 30 minutes after I got off the phone with my dealer telling me it had arrived lol. I was surprised how fast it arrived after the blend date
