Default Hi From Australia

Just joined and put my order in for a JK last week.
Orderd a 2 door 2.8 litre CRD Diesel power(a VM euro 4 model)177hp @3800 and 410nm@2000-2600. and 6 speed.
The Rubicon will not be sold as a Diesel here.(only Jeep knows why)
There is very few JKs coming to Aust in the next 12 months ,less than 1000 ,of all models they say, so the colour is something I may have to live with.My dealer tells me they will be allocated cars and what they get is what they get .They will call when a Deisel arrives and tell me what colour it is.If I dont like it then they may be able to swap with another dealer or bad luck just wait .
He did tell me one thing in that I have the only order for a 2 door with them, they have plenty for 4 doors.
In Aust there will be the JK Sport ,a basic model, the Renagage with all the extras and the Rubicon.
The Sport and the Renagade package both will have 245 x 70 16 tyres and thre Ruby will be 255 x 70 17 tyres.
So sometime in March I will trade in my TJ and drive off in a JK CRD
I am looking forward to it as I am a CRD fan and I reckon a JK will go real good as an oil burner.

talking about colour they tell me that Flame Red will not be coming here and if I want one that colour it will have to be ordered from the factory with a 3-4 month delivery.They just couldnt tell me why Flamd Red will not be coming.

Welcome Sydney Kiwi. I am sure that the wait will be hard, but try not to chew off your finger nails, in the mean time. Good luck on getting the color you want.
