2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport/ Ordered order 5/8 JLUR
giphy.gif

People asking for better pictures and better videos....and yet hear I am still waiting on my friggin Sting-Gray Sahara that I ordered back on March 1. I’ve been through one week of truly nonsensical JB Status and now one week in Alorton so far with no end in sight.

But in all seriousness can y’all take pictures of your welds?
How do you know it's stuck in Alorton? I can't get any information except that it is in KZ..since 4/24. I ordered 3/6.

We had our 3 grandkids the past 3 nights. (6,3,13 months). My body feels like it has been rock climbing.

On the way to pick my grandson up from kindergarten yesterday I was early so I went cruising. My Jeep didn’t want to leave this corner.
what? did you have an issue with the stop/start? I did when I was test driving one.

Because I was still in JB Monday 4/23 so I messaged Sergio and he said he sent an email to get things moving. Tuesday 4/24 I hit KZ with an ETA of 5/8-5/12. Thursday 4/26 I checked the Forum’s tracking sheet and it said I was in Alorton, IL and then I saw my ETA changed to TBD. I talked to Jeep Cares this Monday and she said that she was seeing I was still in Toledo with a TBD...but she also said she was guessing I’d get shipped 5/14 with an ETA of 5/22 “based off others”.

Thanks, I missed the sign ups for the forum tracking and I am not sure it makes sense for me to sign up now. I hit KZ that same day you did. I spoke to Jeep cares on Monday and she said the same thing to me. She told me to call back in a week.

Honestly at this point pictures are nice, but I'm really hoping we get some videos that are better than the ones we've seen of the preproduction SG. You can really capture a lot more essence of appearance from video than from stills.
I took video of my Sahara with my iPhone 8 as I walked up to it and then all the way around it a week ago Monday. I tried to post it that day but it would not upload even after multiple attempts.

Yes. If you call the Jeep JL number at 866-362-2146, provide your VIN number and ask for the detailed version of your KZ status code (example: KZ-T, KZ-U, etc.) then you can look it up here: http://www.jeepfan.com/tech/chrysler-jeep-vehicle-order-codes/ Sometimes you will get someone on the phone that doesn't know how to get the more detailed code. Just call back and get a different person. And if you are super lucky, they will be able to tell you what city it is in.

KZ L – released but not shipped
KZ M – first rail departure
KZ N – first rail arrival
KZ O – delayed/received
KZ OA – plant hold, quality audit
KZ OB – zone, dealer, sales, vehicle prep, tax, diversion or derailment hold, dealer refusal, vehicle diverted
KZ OC – carrier delay, strike-bound, emission or safety hold, rail car shortage, bad or insufficient load, inclement weather, need shipping order, manifest error
KZ OF – shipped air freight, stolen vehicle recovered, show vehicle, test info code, vessel sailed
KZ T – second rail departure
KZ U – second rail arrival
KZ X – delivered to dealer
Cool! I called today and they were able to tell me that it was on rail and not sitting somewhere waiting to be shipped. Woohoo!

The past few days have been the worst. I expected the call Friday, it didn’t come. I was ready for it Monday..... nope. Now it’s just try not to think about it. I know it’s coming.

First rail (KZ-M/KZ-N) or second rail (KZ-T/KZ-U)?

Upload it to Google Drive or YouTube then copy the share link. Once you’re on here click the “media” button and paste the link.

That they wouldn’t say . What’s the difference though? I don’t really know the shipping steps. Like what happens after second rail?
The first rail (train) is from Ohio to the most logical train hub to transition to the 2nd train that goes to your nearest location. Then a truck picks it up from the 2nd train yard / storage facility to delivery to your dealer. You would need to ask them specifically if it is KZ-M, KZ-N, KZ-T or ? If you try Jeep Chat, 50% of the time they will tell you the full code vs top level code (full code = KZ-T, KZ-U, etc. top level code = KZ). Usually that toll free number will tell you the full code if you ask them the right way. : )

Thanks! I think they are a good fit with Sting-Gray. I'm keeping them but putting KO2 285/70/r17 tires on it. Same tires as the Rubicon. Hopefully will have them on this week.
You planning on a lift along with those tires? We have the same build except for the body color fenders! I was told I'm in KZR now... Impatience rising.

I'm thinking about adding the Rubi suspension. I want to use it as a small lift. Waiting on a quote from my shop to put it on. Starting with tires to see but I think it's gonna really need that little extra height to set it off.

I'll have pictures with the tires and no lift this weekend.
