Hey guys,
Thought that I would start this thread in anticipation of the 2013 Anniversary Rubicon.
Im excited to see what Jeep has come up with to make this Rubicon "limited".
Hopefully its more than just some AEV bolt ons like the COD was.

Please feel free to post what you believe it might look like or any info you may have on it.

Hopefully Pat will post some info this month on this thread about the new Rubi.

If this Rubi is as great as I hope, Ill be trading my fully moded 2012 JKUR in on one.

I made a prediction the day we hit 5,000 post that it would reach. 25,000 and I don't think I will be wrong. By May 1 this thread will be like an ant pile with a chicken leg.

I have a question on mounting a winch. This picture was on the Trucktrend web review. It shows the whole winch centered in the bumper, so the spool is more to the drivers side. So my question is about the bumper to fairlead mount. Is the hole already there, or do we have to cut it out?

This is a picture of the pre-production bumper, so things may have changed. I would hate to ask mac to dis-assemble this portion of his bumper without a winch to fill it. It's definetely an area of curiousity for me though.

The picture isn't dead on center either, photographer was kind of off to the left side.

Well, with nwbronco's unit shipping, all I can do is hope that this week will see my unit go down the line. Fingers crossed for some news maybe.

My husband thinks I am obsessed with seeing my Jeep in transit on the Jeep website or my dealer's website and reading this forum. I told him I am not obsessed...I haven't been watching the traffic cams to see if I see a delivery truck with my Jeep...yet :popcorn:

I am not going to lie to you: I am really digging those shift knobs! I'd want to paint the numbers and lines in the knobs black to match the rest of the interior.

Hell, they even match this little guy.... :dance:

Yo 10a guys!
If any of you guys are planning to pull your bumpers and are looking to sell, shoot me a PM...I've got a 13 rubicon unltd, and I really dig the 10a bumpers

I saw them first hand at moab this past week at the EJS and really liked them...

I also saw the red seats, and the ones I saw were quite a bit darker than I was expecting. If you're waiting, you wont be disappointed! The photos I had seen prior do not do them justice. Of course the ones I saw could be pre-pro so who knows...

And I was having dinner Wednesday and this pulled in



had to go closer and noticed this...


wide view


Good luck with the waiting!

and those are 315s btw

Hello and Happy Easter everyone. I have been following this thread long enough and felt I should say hi. Like many of you I have been waiting since Jan for my Jeep to arrive, JKUR, Anvil, Red Seats, auto, 4:10, 430, black fenders and top. Currently in D1. While we wait the pile of parts keeps growing!
Thank you to everyone who has posted pics, the one from Moab showing the Anvil with AEV Pintlers prompted my wife and I to order a set too!

Anybody here in Ontario Canada (i'm in Mississauga) have one on order? Just want to know if anyone around here got a VIN # and if our vehicles can be tracked like orders from U.S?
Put deposit down in January before they were available for order... But had to wait until the automatics are released to Canada or something..... That's what dealer has told me... Should have mine on first shipment of auto JKU's being shipped to Canada... Dealer told me last week that the rep secured my White unlimited with red leather... Fully loaded w/matching top and fenders, just waiting to hear if I still have to wait till mid May... Or if anyone has been told there's should arrive earlier

Thanks

There are a couple of us in Canada that are waiting. I have an Anvil, 4dr, auto, red int. on order. I was also told I will be getting 1 of the first 12 10a's into canada. I got a vin last week from my salesperson but no delivery date. From what I have seen no we can't track the builds with VOTS up here in the great white north.

more 10A photos from EJS

Heres some of the white one there on static display...









air dam/skid is fairly solid, much better than the stock plastic airdam


I have been waiting for EJS to physically compare the 10a bumpers with the AEV bumpers. The 10a bumpers were more solid than I expected, and fit/finish is, of course, factory. Gonna be a tough decision for me for bumpers...

(Sorry, as you can tell, I was kinda focused on the bumper...)

So those are what those new badges of honor things look like. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Nope. Color matched top is $1000 and color matched flares is $200. Separate items. The issue was you could not get the color matched flares alone without getting the top colored matched...BUT you can get the color matched top and black flares. Some dealers and salesman thought they were a set. If it is not listed on your Purchase Order or vots, you are not getting it. Confirming with your dealer tomorrow is a good idea.

I'm done lot of researching this weekend on the 3.73 versus 4.10 gearing. I'm sold on 4.10's for my JKUR Rubi because i think it will better match the other capabilities of it, as well as potential future enhancement (larger tires/wheels). What isn't clear is real-world gas mileage on the 4 door 2012-2013 JKUR's. Anyone having driven a 3.73 or 4.10 auto (Pentastar), i'd be curious to see what to expect. I suppose the sticker rating 16/20 would be the stated number for the stock 3.73, but the 4.10 has to take a hit, but how much?
 
#7,792 ·
I have a 2012 Rubi with 4.10s right now, and real world gas mileage is 16-18mpg period. I'm sure if you hit the highway for long periods of no traffic, it might pop up to 19-20. But in the Hampton Roads area, I'd say 16-18 is the best you'll get. 3.73s would get ya 18-20 prob, but I'm still sticking with 4.10s on my 10A :D
 
#7,870 ·
Awesome buddy. The factory keyboard guy is on his game early this morning :punk:getting our 10A's moving, LOL. I sure hope the red seats see some movement today......
April Fools!
I almost feel guilty about the April Fool's joke... I hope you all realize its an attempt to de-escalate some tension.
