Waiting for my Copperhead Pearl 2014 JKUS

OKay I am now waiting for my jeep! it is the shipment phase. I have a sport S JKU Copperhead with premium black top and black fenders. I have decided on AEV 2.5" lift (coil springs and shocks kit). Tires will be Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs 315/70r17, very light and close to a 35". So here are several photos of how it will start stock; then a Rubicon, with what I think is a 2.5" lift kit; then the several wheel options I am considering, AEV Silver Pintlers 17x 8.5" ; or Black Rhino Moabs (black center with machined lip), also 17x 9",; and finally Method 17"; Also have not ruled out the Black Rhino Imperial 17" machined and silver (which are shown here on my Black TJ, still really like them too). So what do you think is the best look for the wheels. I just can't do the all black thing. I'm old school and like a little bling on my trucks. Can anyone combine these to show a Copperhead JkU sport with black top, fenders, and these wheel options with a 2.5" lift? Or is there a site I can do that at? Too much time on my hands waiting and dreaming...... Have a great Thanksgiving.

By the way, several of these photos were borrowed from the forum, other posts on other forums and my own as well.

I am not in either of the first two photos, those were new proud owners of their 2014 copperhead JKU's.

I am soooooooo jealous.

I am glad I went ahead and ordered one. I have seen a single one out here in the desert, and none of the dealers even show any in inventory or in transit in whole Phoenix area (which is a big Jeep sales area).

Current status, KZL, released but not yet shipped.

If anyone else posts, please add pictures or comment on the plan, wheels, etc..

Nice. Thanks for the post.

Keeping the dream alive.....dealer said it may be I n next weekend...big maybe.

I will have the AEV lift and silver AEV Pintler 17" wheels with Duratracs done at the AEV dealer that is part of their operation. Already have some take off Rubicon Rails and new ACE sliders to add once I get it delivered.

Still haven't decided on bumpers yet...thinking Or-Fab but don't like the logo cutout.

Enjoy the Jeep.
