Hey wayoflife- it is a small world! What area of Henderson? Funny that we ordered the same Jeep too! When I was at the dealership, the salesman told me 8 to 12 weeks- he said the LATEST would be January. That can't be right- especially if you ordered one in July and still haven't gotten it. Oh well. I guess I have more time to save my money. LOVE the SEMA pics! When SEMA was in Vegas, I saw the orange TeraFlex Jeep (with a 6" lift). I was in traffic, but I pulled up next to the guy and talked to him for a second. It looked awesome! He said he was on his way to Utah to test it. On a separate note, I like how it looks when the fenders match the body- I have read that the Bushwacker flares can be painted- Do they look good painted? Do they chip?

[QUOTE=wayoflife;5715]Not before me! I've had the exact same Jeep on order since July 10th and was told I may not see it until late January to early February :sad:
Now Just hold on one quick minute, Mine is first. I am getting a White one as well. Since I live in Wyoming and live closer to the factory I will get mine first.

I do not work for Jeep but I was told that the stock tire carrier was designed with the 35" tire in mind. Papabear
When I looked at the Jeep I test drove, 4 Door Rubicon, and it will hold a larger tire than the stock 32"s.

I'm afraid I disagree with this statement. I strongly discourage you from EVER using a spare tire that is a different size then the rest of your tires. When driving down the road, it is going to be hard to steer and handle with different size tires. Make sure your spare matches the rest, you won't regret it when that inevitable flat occurs. Once the spare is on, you won't have to drive 5-10 miles per hour, and you can take your time getting the spare fixed at a more convenient pace.

My inlaws live up in the Del Web community, Anthem which is kind of up in the hills from St. Rose and Eastern. I'm actually up here now. Where abouts are you if you don't mind me asking? 
TeraFlex had painted their Bushwacker Flares on their Green JK and yes, they looked good...
The paint looked great but to be perfectly honest, the real problem isn't chipping but rather, the flares seemed kind of flimsy. From what I understand, Bushwacker is reworking the flares now to beef them up.

YES! I like the matching fender flares. Wayoflife- I know exactly where Anthem is- I have a few friends that live there- very nice area. I am probably ten minutes away from Anthem- I live further east off Horizon Ridge- Horizon Ridge isn't far from Anthem (where it intersects at Eastern)- I don't know if you are familiar with the street names. :confused: Probably, if you guys visit here alot. Hope you had a good Thanksgiving.
