Mine was built on 3/7 and should be on rail this coming week with an eta 4/1. I do not know if that eta is to the dealer or to Benecia(I believe thats where it will be offloaded). My dealer is up in Healdsburg Ca bout 60 miles north of the gate. Im going to guess our jeeps will be on the same trains out West!

 

Don't want to hijack the thread, but I'll post some pics about Tuesday (after the lift Monday) with most of the re-build on the 4 door done if someone can give me a very brief tutorial on posting pics. It is different than it was a year ago or so when I last posted a pic, so quick instructions what menu tabs to upload will help me. Been too pressed for time to figure it out (tried with no luck) as I spent the last 15 hours with friends installing parts. The 2012 has a few nuances that are different than my 2007 2 door that I didn't expect.

SSmileys: thanks. Yes, the 35's rub the air dam near full turn, but that silly air dam is gone now. Glad the pinch seam and Rubi rails don't rub (on street anyway) even with bumpers, winch, and tire carrier. Until Monday, I've got a fully loaded Jeep "low-rider look" on 35's and it will be fine getting to Northridge for my lift. Thank goodness. Didn't want to tackle pulling Rubi rails and trimming the pinch seam until my shrockworks rails come in.

Been busy wrenching almost non-stop, but thrilled with everything so far.

 

That's awesome man! What wheels/tires do you have? Not trying to derail this... just wondering for BS and width purposes with 35's and no lift.

Also, to post a pic, upload a photo to photobucket.co m or another similar site. Grab the URL of that photo (right click on it and get properties or copy link, depending on browser), and when creating a post click the 'image' button above the text box (looks like a tiny pic of a tree or something, second row towards the right middle) and throw the full URL of the pic in there.

Hope that helps man! Congrats again on the wait being over!

 

I'm on the factory Rubi wheels with spidertrax spacers (1.5"). It rubbed on the air dam before I changed back to my bumper. With all the weight of my bumpers and tire carrier, winch, etc, I would still rub on the street turning onto a hill at any speed etc. I don't recommend it by any means. All of that will be corrected tomorrow with my AEV lift. But it is fine for the 2 days I had it this way by driving carefully.

Thanks for the posting pics quick tutorial. I'll get a photo bucket account when I get time. I don't know if it is still possible, but I used to post pics directly to the forum servers. That might not be an option any longer and perhaps why I had a problem trying to do it that way earlier.

Loving the new ride, though. Feels very "plush" for a Jeep. Hard to get used to all the extra "comfort" features, but that won't take long. :-) Been a very long weekend and am amazed I have some fellow Jeep friends that could help me turn around this build in such a short period of time. Northridge finishes the rest of the initial basics tomorrow with lift, DS, and exhaust y-pipe mod.
