...this truck today :) Delivery could take up to 10 weeks and will be the first band new vehicle I've ever owned.

Very nice, hope you enjoy it. A joey fan really should drive a Ford though....................... just sayin :D
 
Damn fine ride. Now put the matte black side steps on it. :)
 
uh....what is it? Looks like a silverado that hit a brick wall and got slammed by another silverado. They trying to set a record for shortest wheelbase possible on a quad cab truck?

It looks like a Colorado.

Congrats, but get ready for on of the longest waits in your life. I'm normally a pretty patient person. Earlier this year when we ordered a new Jeep Rubicon X from the factory we were told that the wait would be 6-8 weeks. It was every bit of 8 weeks and by the end of it I was anything but patient. As hard as the wait gets the reward is what it's about and that long wait will fade to memory. Have fun with your new ride!

Thanks for the advice.

I was seriously looking at a Jeep but simply need a truck bed - even it's only 5'. I've owned a number of S10's over the years but this was the 1st mid truck I've been in with a crew cab - which I like - but didn't care for the look of the long box.

When my ZR2 burned in a fire, I had no interest in the 1st gen Colorado so I bought a Dakota, which has served me well but it's time to replace it and this latest version of Colorado is far, far above the previous.

The only immediate mod I see taking place is the blackening out of those gold Bowties and maybe the gun metal grill :)
 
Mods are the best part of getting a new ride. My first mods were to put on a winch, bar, & lights. Saving up for a couple inch lift and new wheels/tires now.

Nice looking ride and check out that engine hood.

Lots of options for Jeep mods as well but I'm most curious to see the 5th wheel hitch in the back seat/cargo area ;)
 
well damn, guess I'm an old foggie too.
:D:D

The black carbon fiber overlay kits are $9 on ebay. A friend put some on his new Silverado and they were easy to use.

We're still working on getting that installed. ;)

Actually, we are looking for a small travel trailer that we could haul with that Jeep. Our limit is 2000 lbs. There is a line called Scamp that we are looking at. We're probably another year away from that though.
 
This one is 4 month's old and the only mods so far are the matte black side steps I put on it. It comes with chrome ones but I thought it would be too much silver and chrome.

I'm also considering how long that air dam under the bumper will last in 18" or so of snow and what it does to fuel mileage (I suspect it's minimal).

Stupid splitters ;)

Ram says mine actually helps the fuel mileage and I also don't know what this snow is you speak of. Is that the stuff that looks like sand in DP's picture?
