JLWF has just confirmed that the JL start of production has been pushed up two weeks -- now with a Job 1 launch date of Monday, October 16, 2017. Note however, that there will be a 90-day yard hold on new models before shipping to dealerships so the first JL Wranglers will likely not hit dealerships until mid-January 2018.
Coinciding with this, the JL/JLU also officially appeared for the first time today in dealership allocation systems which is an indication that allocation and ordering will open in October.
As you can see, the next-gen Wrangler receives the JM (2-door) and JP (4-door) internal dealership code so make sure your dealer does not confuse it with the JK codes in their internal systems -- See here for a detailed explanation.
Here is the breakdown (again confirming no 2-door JL Sahara):
Next-Gen 2018 JL Wrangler model codes:
JLJL72 - Wrangler Sport
JLJS72 - Wrangler Rubicon
JLJL74 - Wrangler Unlimited Sport
JLJP74 - Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
JLJS74 - Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
2018 JK Wrangler model codes:
JKJL72 - Wrangler Sport
JKJP72 - Wrangler Sahara
JKJS72 - Wrangler Rubicon
JKJM74 - Wrangler Unlimited Sport
JKJP74 - Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
JKJS74 - Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon
ANOTHER UPDATE:
The 2018 JLU now comes up in dealership systems when building an order (see below)!
No other info has been loaded yet but this means the system is primed for order banks to open any day now. This also corroborates a 4-door only initial launch as noted in our 2018-19 JL production timeline.
