I have a 2017 JK on order. This will be the 3rd JK/JKU I have owned. My last one was a 2014. This is my 1st time ever ordering a vehicle, and let me tell you....I am dying of anticipation. In the meanwhile, I am getting my fix by ordering accessories :). My husband even designated a shelf for me in the basement! Lol! New head unit, XM tuner, backup camera and mount, remote start, grab handles, fuel door cover, and black 13" am/fm antenna (on its way). Still need to order my trailer hitch and hoist system for the garage. Now I just need my new ride!!!!! Technology Electronic device Room Electronics Auto part

Mindy, congrats on the order! I'm also waiting for my '17 delivery.

Can you let me know what backup camera you are going with? With it integrate with the 430N?



Thanks

I ended up ordering the Raxiom head unit. It comes with a backup camera. I ordered a Willys, which a 430n is not an available option. I could have gotten the 430 (no nav, just the screen) for $695. I decided to stay with the 130 radio, then put a couple hundred dollars with the $695 I saved on the 430 and order this Raxiom. Looks stock, but has Nav, backup camera, mount for camera and XM. I know there are back up cameras only, but I am not sure if there is one that works with the 430n. Might be worth a search of the forum :). When did you order? I ordered on8/9. The suspense is killing me!!

You ordered a willys?! ewwww. JK. The Willys is one of the most sought after special editions... I can't blame you. My order came in before I even placed an order ... I wanted a billet 4dr willys hardtop, manual, and the alpine upgrade. Did a quick search and my local dealer had one. My dealer had it for 30k so I cancelled my itineraries that day to pick up the willys before someone scoops it up.

LOL!

I am currently driving a bone-stock 2015 JKU Sahara and compared to my lifted 2013 and 2014 JKs, it looks so low, small and plain.

But I'll say this: it drives and rides like a sedan!

I swear PayPal or Google should come up with an app that links Jeep's order bank to Quadratec/ExtreneTerrain/4WP to FedEx/UPS/USPS to our bank accounts to our right hand thumb.

Every time we buy a Jeep and we twitch our right-hand thumb, parts are ordered, our bank accounts withdrawn, and parts show up at our door the next morning.

It does help receiving packages every week to pass time (1st world problems).

I also blame this forum and all the members! haha. Most the mods I bought I never planned on doing until someone just had to bring it up and talk about how great it is and show pictures of it.

285 Duratracs
ATX wheels
Hothead Headliners
Tyger side steps
Antenna
Fuel Door
Grill Insert
Grab Bars
Rancho 9000xl
AEV 2" spacer/teraflex leveling/RK 1.5" (TBD)


Hopefully that is it.....

Hey there. I've got a 2016 JKU Sport S on order and this will be my FIRST JEEP ever and i'm like totally OFF THE CHAIN excited. Maybe even an addict already. hahahaha
I've been wanting a Jeep for a very long time. lol, Pretty sure everyone i know will be super happy when i finally get mine too cuz i'll shut up about it. (probably will keep talking about it LOL )

I went with my bff to a Jeep show here in Orlando last weekend and bought some sweet rock armor step rails and a mesh top (getting a hard top) so i too am starting my Jeep shelf off right. I'm totally excited. YOU however are rocking the gear on that shelf. I'm thinking about setting up the rails in the garage and use the mesh top as a cape and take a pic and call it "Go FUND my Jeep........JUST NEED JEEP. lol
Where are you finding the best place to buy accessories is?
Hopefully mine will be in in 2 weeks.......
I PRAY!!

Awesome to see another female on here that is stoked too!

If you go to the vendor section on this forum, there are a bunch of vendors that give discounts! From my experience, anywhere from 6%-10%, plus free shipping! I have used Extreme Terrain, Quadratec, and Amazon for parts so far! My husband probably feels the same way as the people around you do....just get the damn Jeep, and shut up! Lol! This isn't my first one, but it is the first one I have ordered and built all by my self ;). Here are my details:
2dr Willys
Firecracker red
Auto
Dual top
Headliner
Alpine speakers
Connectivity
Pwr locks/doors
LED lights

Congrats on your order! Jeep chicks rule :p

Retail therapy! I have ordered 4 different vehicles over the years, each one was torture to wait for and I swore I would never do it again. Then I ordered my 2012 JKU, lol. My poor husband had to suffer, yet again through a 3 month wait while I made his life a little rough :)

Ironic thing is, it came in and I was in the middle of a project at work and he had to go pick it up. That day still leaves a small ding in my heart, and gives him a sick little thrill.

I have made him regret it over the years with multiple large modifications to my Jeep. He's a wise man though, he just goes along with whatever crazy idea I have. Lately it's been a complete revamp of the original build I did the first week I had it. I grew up with my Dad having Jeeps, Scouts and Bronco's so it's been an addiction for many years. I'm pretty sure it will never end and I've even gotten my 5 year old grandson hooked.

Good luck with your wait, keep shopping and supporting the economy.......sounds good, doesn't it? Lol
