Wow, Dan...congrats again and I can tell that you are pumped to finally have the Summit! I think that Jeep really got it right with this car b/c a bunch of us have been waiting, and even with all the time gone by, and growing expectations....when folks receive the car, it seems to continually exceed (high, and built up) those expectations. Really cool stuff.

if it's any help to you or others I'll keep you posted on mine when I receive it, and like I said I'm in contact w/Arrington performance (virginia) right now as I may just handle some performance upgrades right away (Corsa exhaust which allows for skid plates, CAI, etc.). I already have the Shark Fin, Weather Tek mats, and new shift knob. Great reviews, thanks again. You made me a believer of the Brilliant Black color...I was really leaning towards Mineral Grey for a while...

I was in the left hand turn lane a few minutes ago and as I was waiting for traffic to clear, a black RR with saddle color interior pulled up behind me....couldn't help but smile thinking how much I like my Jeeps and what a far better value they are (and made here too)....and that the RR or LR whatever it is looks a tad dated.

Congrats Dan! Glad to see you made it!

Have you spent much time with the iPhone connection? I have 3,000+ contacts, curious if they'll all sync.

Also, do they download each time or are they saved on hard drive after first sync?

My wife's 2011 BMW X6 downloads EVERY time. While it syncs 100% (thumbs up) it takes too long (thumbs down).

Any feedback from friends/family on quality of mic when you're making calls? My 2006 GC sounded great on my end when others spoke, but everyone always complained about the mic...said it sounded like I was talking through a straw.

Appreciate any insight - also, thanks for sharing the pics! Would love to see more!

^^^ I think it downloaded once...but not 100% sure. Will check it out though. Also, used the bluetooth and sound quality was good...better than with the UConnect in my 2005 GC.

^^^ Yep....but they do match. I can take in the dark now but might not be the best until daylight. In the meantime, trust me...they match since I would have noticed immediately.

See how lighting conditions and the camera affects the color of the photos of the saddle interior....this is with my iPhone 4 which like most camera phones does not take great photos in low lighting conditions...

The saddle on the seats matches all of the saddle on the doors in my Summit...

If you have a flash or bright lights that hits the saddle at one angle while hitting other parts at another angle the saddle comes out looking different even in the same photo. These photos were all take within minutes of each other...the last one with a flash.

Hope this helps...

^^^ The first two had overhead lights on in the Jeep...so seat bottom looks brighter...the third one I opened the passengers window so I could close the door and turn off the overhead lights. The fourth one was with a flash (ugly in the photo for sure).

The ventilated seats are very nice...more pleasant than expected. But then again, I am in Florida. Definitely will be nice on long trips.

Hi Dan,
Not sure what the temprature is in Florida this time of the year.
But over hear in OZ outback 112f 44c during summer.
How does the sunroof with the shade closed feel?
Does much heat come through it?

Thanks Lawrie

Also, as others have pointed out earlier....my tires at delivery were over-inflated 41-42. I think they are supposed to be 36...will check tomorrow and adjust accordingly.

I also noticed there is no coin holder/organizer thing in the center console.....or a place for a pen like in molded into my 2005 JGC center console.

Dan, congratulations and much luck with your new baby! I am in limbo with my Overland. It is in JB and went from ramp compare inventory to hold released on the 15th of March and no movement since then. I am waiting, but I must admit I am getting very antsy!!!! I want my new baby!!!

Took more photos. Will post when get back home.

Dan- does the rear view mirror have a tiny green light that shines on the dash? i like ambient light and am wondering what, if any, i might need to add later.

K, there was another recent thread where a forum member found a green ambient spot just behind the console clear lamps. i had to go and confirm in my overland, and it's there.

^^^ Nope.

^^^ That shines on the dash from above??? I will check now that it is dark but didn't see anything earlier.....???

OK - Pulled over into a park parking lot while driving today and took some photos in the bright sun with my iPhone 4. Note, yes I accidentally had my finger in two photos...LOL...I was in a hurry. I was gonna crop those two photos but that would have cut out a lot...so ignore the finger! :) Also, some are duplicate angles but do show more so I just went ahead and posted them... It was very bright out (Florida 80 degrees).

^^^ So far, excellent...I would expect yours to go "I" this week...unless of course...my worst fear is realized (well, maybe not MY worst fear anymore since I got my Summit already)...that Jeep ends Summit production because they have ran out of Saddle colored cows...it could happen! :eek: :p :eek:

Maybe my comedy act needs a bit of work...

kaflyboy: There is a light but it is not in the rearview mirror...the center console. See photo... :)
