Didn't think, you could have had it shipped to me, wouldn't have cost as much.:clap:
I can reroute it if you're willing to make the payments. ?

Trust me that's the first thing I said to her. Still don't think it's going to happen though. :shock:
Should have bought a manual shift, probably stop her from wanting to drive it.

? Seeing as she's only 5' tall I could add a lift and 35's and she won't be able to climb inside. ?

Be careful you don't lift it so high that YOU can't get in it either!
That'd be hard to explain! ;)

That's an easy solution.....I can add power steps and not tell her about it. ? :D

Hey Dave look at this awesome jeep safety feature I just noticed. When the wheel comes off while going down the road and flies through somebody’s living room window, there’s a little picture on the wheel so you know which vehicle its supposed to go too ha ha!!

Thanks, that’s good to know Kent. I know comfort is subjective and I’ll have about 4 months before leaving. Maybe we’ll take a weekend trip up to Sedona or Flagstaff to get a better idea on the ride comfort. It’s only a couple hour drive but in my Tacoma my back would be aching by the time we got there.
Dave, one of the best things I've bought for my Jeep was the Hot Head headliner with the assassin sounds strips for my hard top. It quiets things, and insolates the cabin from extreme temp changes. If you decide that you like the idea of the liners I recommend you also buy the liners for the side panels of the top. I've found the KO's on the Rubi are much quieter than I thought, and they handle well at speed. The only thing I see that may make a trip uncomfortable in the 2 door would be the shorter wheel base. But as you say, comfort is subjective to the driver and passenger, and what they fine uncomfortable. We've taken our 4 door on a 5K+ mile road trip, and found the seats to be quite comfortable. YMMV

BTW, that's a good looking Rubi you have there. Congratulations, and enjoy.

Jim, With the heat here that's already high on my list to buy. I wasn't sure about doing to hardtop and sides but since you said it makes a big difference I'll most likely do those too. I'm going to try and drive it as much as possible between now and the time we leave. Maybe even take a day trip up to Flagstaff which is about a 2 hour drive. I couldn't stand that drive in my Tacoma so if I'm comfortable in the Jeep I should be good to go.

Glad it arrived.

Imagine if you ordered it when you reserved your bronco.
Thanks Doug! If I did I would've been driving it for 15 months now. ?
