2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Tillamook]

Yes, welcome home Vida. I stopped by the Jeep dealer today and thanked them for doing what they can, which is not much to move those Toledo Jeeps out west. The best part and shortest part of our conversation was about the price negotiated back in December 2017, which looks like it will hold and be honored. Maybe that was the hang up with Vida, and I am very happy what ever issues had developed were resolved. With my dealer I can say It is sure nice to "have a friend in the car business".

By the way, you really have a 2 door now, what do the top of the seats look like, is there a lever there? I have ordered some custom seat covers from Saddleman (a made in New Jersey company) and they have just about completed the design, but do not know what the top of the seats look like. Neither do I.

Im still stuck in JB balls. I signed on for jeepgarage tracking now just to see if I can get any more info from them

Did you order headliners for a hardtop? I think they may be holding you up. I'm in JB for a little bit myself

Well, choice was either to start screaming or call 877 #. Did call. Lady said I am in I (inspection) now, was in K paint about 8-10 days ago. Who knows if it’s true, but it gives me a bit of hope.
Dealer is useless. He rarely answers my occasional emails (at about 10-20 days intervals).
I think it will happen, but I see no action on jeep.com in SC/GA area. But it seems that site is bogus too, so...forum is best source of information and support.

Vida is finally home!!!!!!!

Congrats!!

 

[Rhinebeck01]

No, but from what I hear the paper one will. My last one in 2003 did.

@Fred

Yes, the Moroney (Window Sticker) attached to the front windshield will have your name on it.

By the way, my JL arrived within 5 days of being shown on the dealers website as "In Transit". I'd expect yours to arrive in Saugerties, in say, the next 5-7 days.

Headliner?

Yep, and I personally am regretting adding it to my order. Initially I placed my order without it and actually had my sales manager go through his rep to get it added to the order. Hindsight being 20/20 I sure wish I would've just stuck with my original plan of buying it later and installing it myself.

 

[Affliction-101]

Well I finally called my dealer and told him I was done waiting since I found a 2 door JLR with all the bells and whistles including leather seats with Im not to fond of. Managed to get a nice price and its in stock. Now i will be flying Monday to pick her up. According to them its an order the dealer placed not a cancelled order which made it even sweeter for me. The way my luck has been I better not get a damn call Monday that in fact is a sold order. HAHAHA
Here are a few pics.

 

[Affliction-101]

I did check my status before actually pulling the trigger on this one and its still at D. BS!

 

[Jax2578]

@McBeevee If you have the same user name on jeep garage. I was looking at how long JB must of last for received jlu orders. Looks like 3 days - 3 weeks. Most being a week or 8 days.

 

[McBeeve]

Yep, mine was built on 5/7 and showed JB 5/8. It's movement has stalled since then.

 

[Jax2578]

Grr... Hopefully we'll both see forward movement soon. But, not to a long period in JS or offsite storage.

 

[PavementWarrior]

There are actually several on dealer lots for sale around me. There’s at least 2 sports and a rubicon, I called and they are available to purchase within 100 miles of South Central, PA

Nice, we have a bunch saying "in Transit" but its nice to see them actually arrive!

Hopefully all the people that ordered will get theirs soon as well!
