Purple JLUR Build

I thought I would start a build thread even though our JLUR is still sitting in the shipping phase. We actually ordered a fully loaded Black JLU Rubicon. Once it arrives, it is going straight to Pristine Detail, located in St. Paul, MN. There the vehicle will be Avery vinyl wrapped to change the body color to purple.

Once it arrives at the dealership, I will take photos of the Black JLUR and post. Then, I will again take photos of the new Purple JLUR and post.

We are very excited to get this project started. Here is to a new build!!!

Any update on this? I like the idea. Also, if you are getting it at Fury off of Concord you are going to need to get it cleaned out. They have the worst possible detail department for new car deliveries I have ever seen. I have had 3 cars from there and all 3 were horrible.

Well...the Jeep finally shipped. It was in "KZ" status forever. It shipped on Wednesday via rail and made it to Gibson, IN. Gibson is actually a county, not a city. But at any rate, it made it to Evansville, IN on Thursday. On Friday we checked and our JLUR was on the second train and had reached Bensenville, IL. This is located just outside of Chicago.

We did a bit of research on the rail lines and assumed it would take a much faster route then it has. On Saturday morning our JLUR was in Milwaukee, WI. n the afternoon, it was showing that the vehicle was located in Wabasha, MN, about 71 miles from us. So yeah, we are getting closer.

We talked with the dealership and they are saying that it should drop into the Twincities on Monday, April 2nd. Vehicles have been down to sit at the rail yards for a couple of days. We are going in on Tuesday to finish the paperwork.

We have asked the dealership to notify us when it arrives. We want to try to get photos of the vehicle on the transport truck. That probably won't happen, but it is worth a shot.

Once it arrives at the dealership, we will inspect and then have it shipped to Pristine Detail, located in St. Paul. There it will be wrapped in purple and make it's way back to the dealership. Once back at the dealership, we are adding 35" tires straight off the bat. We are going with Goodyear Duratrac 315/70r17 on the original wheels. These are fabulous tires. We are also adding the tailgate reinforcement system (3 parts).

Once we have this baby in our hands, we will be adding a Warn Zeon 10s winch, a winch/ grill guard and 7" Jeep lights to the guard. From there we will be adding 5" A-Pillar lights, a new stubby antenna, a CB/Ham radio and accessories that are required for that system.

Photos will follow as they become available. We are most excited about making out Black JLUR purple. It is going to look AWESOME!

Ours was ordered from Fury Stillwater. They have been awesome for us so far!

So, our new JLUR is at the rail yard in Cottage Grove, MN. Not sure how long it will take to arrive at the dealership. Tomorrow we are going in to do most of the final paperwork with the dealership, Fury Motors, in Oak Park Heights, MN.

Today, I ordered the winch mounting plate. I opted for a Rusty's Offroad mounting plate. The cost is $229.00, shipping of $22.58. Here is a link to the plate we ordered. They have already sent a tracking number. So that is pretty exciting. We are planning on mounting a Warn Zeon 10s. It was taken off of our 2013 and is still in great condition. I do have to do a bit of minor paint touch-up to the body (black). I also ordered new mounting bolts for the winch itself. I purchased them through Fastenal. As this winch has synthetic line, we are using a Factor 55 Hawes plate on the front of the bumper. The nice thing about the Rusty's plate is it includes everything we need to mount the winch, including the on-center Hawes plate mount.

Link for the Rusty's mounting plate:

I also ordered a Wrangler JL Grill and Winch Guard Hoop. I ordered this from JustforJeeps.com. The have a descent price of $224.10. There is a promo code available, JeepGarage5, with gives an additional 5% off the price of the guard. The total cost, $212.89. No Tax and free shipping.

Link for the OEM guard:

Lastly, I also ordered a new antenna. The stock antenna is hideous. I went with the Off-Road (13-inch) Antenna from AntennaX.com. We had one of these on our 2013 JKUR. It works and looks awesome. The cost on this bad boy, $16.99. I now, it will break the bank!

I hope everyone finds this information helpful. Once our JLUR is in our custody, I will begin to post photos!

It has arrived!

[FONT=&quot]So, Our JLUR was delivered to the dealership around 7am this morning. The sales person called to let me know that it had arrived around 12 noon, when she got in today. The hardest part is sitting at work and not being able to go look at our beast! Oh well. We are going to look at her and have our first photoshoot tonight. Pictures are coming![/FONT]

Post up pics as soon as you can!
[FONT=&quot]Well, here are the first photos of our gem! It was in the shop getting cleaned before sending out for the wrapping. As you can see, they installed the Tailgate Reinforcement Kit already. It leaves tomorrow for about two weeks to Pristine Detail in St. Paul, MN. There it will be wrapped in purple. The current stickers will be removed and replaced with all black once it is wrapped. The Jeep emblems will be painted all black. It is a very exciting day for us!
