Default Any Manitobans out there?

Just wondering if there are any 07/08 JK owners out there. I am from Brandon, MB and ordered a loaded 08 Rubicon (Rescue Green) standard at the beginning of October. I am trading in a 00 TJ Sport (Solar Yellow). Am in the waiting process right now. How long did it take for you to get yours in Manitoba?

Hi, there!!

I am a former Manitoban. I grew up in Portage La Prairie and then lived in Winnipeg while I went to University. Moved to BC in 1992 to get away from the cold winters and the wind chill. BRRR!!!

Welcome to the site.

I ordered mine on 28 July and got it on 23 Sept this year. The dealer (pembina Dodge) in wpg was a corp DC guy before he went the dealer route. He made a call to the factory in Toledo and it was a friend of his who is the VP Operations. Got to jump the line a bit.

Went on a trip to Rennie with a Brandon based group. Great guys. Find them at www.wore.ca

There is a great local club in Brandon. It's called WORE. Look up their site. Went off-roading with them in Rennie. Great time. Also a local jeep club in Brandon I believe.
