Down to the Wire!

So I received an email from my Jeep Dealership today stating that my JLU Rubicon will be there in a couple days! Wow, that is huge news for me, I was hoping that this would be a Christmas present (to myself) and now it looks like it might really work out. Still a little bit of a long shot but I am sending as many positive thoughts to the train and subsequent truck that will ultimately deliver my Jeep. Please avoid all storms and delays and drop my Jeep off before Christmas Day! If there was an appropriate dance to go along with my prayers, I'd be doing that too right now.

So now I have some planning to do...I have one more day left of work before I break for the Holidays and do not have to return to work until January 3rd! That should give me sufficient time to install the RSE Step/Sliders and the Teraflex Falcon Nexus Steering stabilizer provided my friend is not too busy and we have some decent weather. I would also love to take it wheeling over the break so I need to fit some "behind the wheel" time into the schedule and then there's going to be many hours just sitting in it with a stupid grin on my face, that should take the most time.

I got a survey to fill out from FCA the other day asking about my experience with Jeep Chat and specifically "Michelle" who helped me on one of my many requests for information. All in all, I think the chat was a positive experience and I would definitely use it again (when I order my Gladiator - don't tell my wife) but I thought of one major enhancement... PICTURES! Wouldn't it be awesome to receive pictures of your build along the way? It does not have to be too many shots but maybe 2-3, from each big milestone, maybe paint, interior, and it rolling off the line. You would think it would be easy enough to automate since they track these along the way by barcode. Once they hit a certain point, a digital camera snaps a quick picture and sends off an email to the lucky "soon to be" owner. It would definitely make me happy to get one in my email.

Not sure if this blog will ever become important enough for FCA to read so I am asking each of you to suggest this whenever you have a chance, maybe if they hear it from enough of us, they will think about it.

Now I need to get back to dreaming, I mean planning what to do first...

The Journey is what counts, Adventure Awaits!
