Still have not had time to really go over my yet, find the ins and outs of it. I did take a few quick shots. Unfortunately the interior pics are not focused. It is fun to drive!
My only complaint is the head/neck restraints are turned too far forward. I cant relax my shoulders against the back of the seat with out the head rest pushing my head forward. Anyone know how to tilt the head rest straight up and down?

Grats!

My first mod will be bending the headrests straight on mine too,.....hopefully I will pickup tomorrow.

I did my GF's JK headrests this morning.....
Press the two buttons at the base of the headrests to pull them out. Clamp the headrest down in a vise(I kneeled on them on the ground, and a small board under my knees). Use a large box end wrench, slip the closed end over the rod, and bend them back about an inch or two. It takes a little leverage muscle, but its not hard, and and inch or two make a big difference once you get them back in.

My JKU Rubi has been sitting in the rail yard since 4/7. My dealer is waiting for the rail yard to release it so they can pick it up. The upholstery shop is ready and waiting for it to install my custom ordered Katzkins. Hopefully I will have it by either Wednesday or Thursday.

Just called to get another update on my JKU Sport S. It's en route as we speak and is scheduled to hit the rail yard here in Kirby, TX on the 11th and unloaded on the 12th. Lets hope these dates stick and I'm in the Jeep driving off of the lot in a week or so. This friday the 13th will be 4 weeks since I ordered it. I don't know how some of you guys made it, having to wait 8-10 weeks. This wait is killing me!

IT'S HERE.

Got the call today, but also can't pick her up until tomorrow. The prep guys had already left, so it didn't even have working locks, and plastic was all over everything... but it's there, and it's mine, and everything is set to grab it tomorrow as soon as possible.

Here she is sitting next to my old traded POS eco-box. God damn she's a beauty.

Well it took all day for my dealer to get the rail yard to release my Jeep for them to pick it up. My dealer is going to pick it up at the rail yard at 1030 hrs today and drive it 72 miles back to the dealership. Then it is going straight to the upholstery shop after lunch for my custom ordered Katzkins. Katzkins will be finished tomorrow. All that is left is for the dealership to prep it and I should be able to pick it up Thursday. Once I pick it up, I will post a few pics of it including the killer red/black Katzkins I'm having installed. The wait is almost over.

Your timeline is very similar to mine. Jeep est. next Wed to dealer. No word from the dealer though. It was originally Monday the 16th when I called last week and yesterday it was Wednesday the 18th.
What did Jeep est. for you?
