I called the Factory Rep for my dealer and she said that she can make the changes on Tuesday but to tell the Sales Mgr, give him the changes so he call her her Tuesday morning. No changes will happen in the system during the holiday weekend. I told the Rep that I was in D status so it looks like the Factory Reps can make changes in that status. Dealerships cannot make changes in their system.

 

Sounds like you may get a resolution.

 

If the engine is truly tuned for 87 octane, 91 will be a waste of money and you will get a little less power and lower mileage. Remember, octane does not give gas more BTU (power), it raises the temp and CR (compression ratio) at which the fuel will ignite. IE: it delays combustion and, for 87 octane engines, will not give a complete burn.

I agree that Mobil 1 would be fine but would wait 3 to 6 thousand miles to introduce.

My Jeep went into D1 status and I received pricing today. The "Max Tow Package" (for the Rubi) is retail: $320.
The base Rubi Unlimited appears to have gone up by $250 and the auto gearbox up by $250. Everything else appears to be the same price as 2011.

 

Milous, or anybody that knows, where or how do you check the option for 4.1 with auto? My dealer can't find that option, please help ! Ordered 6/30 , need to find answer as soon as possible.

Thanks,
Bob

 

Does anyone know when the oranges will be available?

 

I'm pretty sure you can get oranges year around these days. I see them at the store year around and in fact still have some on my tree in the back yard.

Milous does a great job in updating page one as he gets updates...

CRUSH (production starts 8/22)
DOZER CLEAR COAT (production starts 8/8)
GECKO GREEN (late availability)
HEADER ORANGE CLEAR COAT (production starts 8/22)

 

For anyone following my trevails, Milous has responded on another forum that there is currently a glitch in the ordering page not allowing that option. Hopefully to be fixed soon.
Thanks to Milous, a much appreciated asset in the Jeep world. He' probably appreciated elsewhere too!

So did they fix the problem that was preventing people from ordering? I am hoping to order one next weekend . Can I order one from any dealership? Anyone know the best dealership in the Charlotte/Lake wylie area?

I have owned a lot of jeeps, but never bought any new and never ordered a vehicle, I want my first brand new jeep to be exactly how i want it (minus a diesel and portals)

btw, has everyone been doing the $500 deposit, or is that not required?

 

Any word on the 5 speed auto tranny and flat towing? Will the sequence be easier than the current tranny?
