I like the color!
Thanks everyone!! I know the Renegades aren't for everyone but Cindy and I love them and glad that most of you do too. We're also glad you like what we've named ours and hope you'll follow us along in our adventures with it. :yup:
LOL!! That would be badass!! :crazyeyes:
Might be a bit longer than that especially here in the U.S. Overseas, there are a lot of people already working on it but aside from Mopar, I really haven't found too many if any aftermarket manufacturers who seem interested in the Renegade or at least, not as of yet. It's unfortunate too being that the Renegade is a great little Jeep and one that I think will reach a completely different audience.
They do appear to be standard 7" round lights and swapping them out for a set of Truck-Lites is on my to do list. Doing so will get rid of the cool little easter egg they have in the light but, more and better quality lighting is more important to us. :yup:
Actually, I most people don't realize just how big these Renegades are. Fact of the matter is, they are just as long in wheel base as an old XJ and they have WAY MORE HEAD ROOM too. :yup:
Thanks! All the way home, we kept on referring to the Renegade as "the Renegade" and eventually, Cindy started referring to it as just "Renny" for short. The name stuck and we both liked it and so it was.
Well, the Renegades are a big hit in Europe now and I personally think it will be a huge seller globally just as FCA is wanting it to be. With the sub-compact SUV or "B-SUV" market taking off as being the fastest growing segment here in the U.S. and, being that the Renegade is the only one in it's class to be a worth 4WD that still gets 30 MPG, it is my feeling that it will be a big hit. While we got a Trailhawk that had most every bell and whistle you can get, you can get a 4WD Sport for as little as $19k. Obviously, the Renegade will never compete on the same level as a Wrangler but really, I don't think it was ever intended to.
So when's the IRS ProRock 80 and EVO coilovers going to come on?
LOL!! That would be badass!! :crazyeyes:
I like it, great mileage too.
Wonder how long til aftermarket parts start showing up? If it's like the JK it will be 7-8 months before you start emptying your pockets.
Can't wait! :beer:

Well, Cindy and I do love white and typically, it's our color of choice but on something like this Renegade, red just seemed so right. We really like it. :yup:
Us too! We'll for sure start working on it as soon as parts become available or, if we have to, start figuring things out ourselves :crazyeyes:
I should note that 25 MPG was with us doing close to 80 MPH and into a headwind. I would bet that we could easily do better if we slowed down a bit :yup:
Maybe today if we have any in stock

Congratulations!
Really looking forward to seeing what modifications you make on the new guy. :clap2:
btw Renny is also our male border collie's name.

Well that makes sense. Didn't make that connection.
You'll have to get her her WAL decals and bring her down for an SnG.

Congrats on the Renegade. I think they're pretty cool. I saw one at the Motortrend Autoshow in Sandy Utah a couple months back. It was the same color and model. Very nice. How about a video walk around of Renny? The Renegade in Sandy was roped off. Couldn't get within 20 feet of it. I was surprised at how large the Renegade actually was.

Nice that it appears Truck-Lites will work! Can you show us a pic of the easter egg in the light?
