About to order a 825i - need a little help

[pahawi]

Yes the maxxis tires are worth the extra money, the steel wheels are 12 inch, included in the 700.00 dollars are 14 inch wheels with the maxxis tires, more ground clearance and a great looking wheel, and I hear they are great in snow. IMHO

missouri gator,

I'll probably add the maxxis as well. Maybe I can talk the dealer into a discount.

Thanks.

Sweet ride pahawi. I saw the GTA and thought WOW! Then I saw it was the 390 and and I said WOW! I have had several Mustangs over the years and still love them. Just wish I had the time to mess with them.

For now I'll pass on it. Maybe if JD does them in a smarter design and it wont confiscate the glove box :-) Beside, someone here mentioned in another thread, that he found a better/cheaper one on eBay.

Thanks.

Thanks Deputy, I'll keep you updated. You guys have already been a great help and as soon as it arrives, I'm sure I'll have lots of stupid Q.'s.

Thanks again.

One other thing you may want to wait till they announce to see the 2012 if there are any changes you may like.

Well, finally all my Q.'s have been answered and the accessories corrected to what I want (takes extra time when everything has to go through my US contact guy) and I'm now ready to push the button and place my order, but being so close to August 15, where JD, according to the "2012" thread on this site, reveals the 2012 model, I will follow your advice and stall my order. Anyone know, if the reveal of 2012 model August 15, is a public thing, or a closed thing for dealers only? If the last, I really hope the member here, stating he would attend, will post here fast.

Thanks.

Well, I have added the Bighorn tires + deluxe mirrors and placed my order. Actually it'll have a twin sister, as my brother decided to order one, with the same setup, too, instead of upgrading his 625i. To all of you complaining 2-3 weeks are hard to wait for your toys to arrive, how about 6-7 weeks :-)

All the last post with 4WD not disengaging, driveline noise, Deputy's problems etc., does make me quite nervous though, as I cant just call JD and ask them to fix it under the warranty. Guess I just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best, but if that dont help, I REALLY hope you guys will share your knowledge, when problems surfaces.

Thanks.

All sounds Great to me , I just took deleievry of a 2011 825 I three weeks ago , Cab , Snow Plow , doors , hydraulic Bed , its all great except for the Front Drive shaft Rattle problem I have , I even found out the dealer tried to get rid of the noise before I took delievery of it , Im not happy with that issue at all , My dealer is suppose to be working on it and I am hoipeful to hear back something soon, It's not fun explaining to friends who ride with me the noise , If I were to go back three weeks I would only take delievery of it if they assured me this front drive shaft noise problem would not be there
