We're successfully back in NM and had no issues on the drive home from Iowa. We really love our 392!
We picked up our 392 on Thursday morning at Granger and the pickup process was easy. We literally had two documents to sign. Joe picked us up from our hotel near the airport and Hayleigh and Shelby wrapped up the final details when we arrived.
A few of you wanted to know about ceramic coating and window tint options. We had Rudi at Protective Solutions (in Urbandale, about 10 miles from Granger) do Xpel ceramic coating and Xpel tint. Granger dropped off the vehicle the week before and Rudi took it back to Granger a few days later. For those of you that may want to get your Jeep coated or tinted, just know that Granger asked that we have the check "in their hands" prior to the ceramic coating and tint since the Jeep was going off site. The body side stripe with the 1941 text had two very noticeable imperfections in it and we worked with Granger to refund the cost of the stripe and have Rudi at PS remove the stripe. This was the only option in order to keep us on our timeline otherwise we'd have to wait for a new stripe to arrive or have it done here in NM. Neither option worked for us so we opted for removal. This is my first time with a ceramic coated vehicle but the Jeep seemed to stay cleaner and more dust free than usual. When we hit the rain in western Kansas, you could really see the hydrophobic properties of the coating. We had everything coated on the Jeep including the wheels. Rudi communicated via text and voice and kept me in the loop with the Jeep's progress. We went 20% on the windows and I think it came out well. Overall, I enjoyed working with Rudi and his prices were in line with others in the area.
