2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[NascarMark]

^ Hang in there Mark. It's going to be worth it in the end!! Just think how good life is, when a stressor in life is waiting for a new jeep to be built and delivered.

Thanks and I know your correct - this is a small problem to have. Like my dad would have said 'just a hill for a mountain climber'! LOL I pull my Wrangler behind a motorhome. I retired a year ago, my wife retires in a week...sure would be nice to have the new one before I put the motorhome away for winter!

Congrats on retirement for the both of you. Seems like I only have 40 more years to go sometimes. Lol. I bet it'll be here long before it gets snowy. (I hope anyway) besides you Illnoisians only get 2 weeks of summer anyway right?

Thank You! Much appreciated.

It's only 2 weeks if we get a warm start to summer! . I am about mid point between St. Louis and Chicago. It gets pretty cold in Chicago for Cubs playoff games. LOL

I know this was talked about a while back, can’t remember.
Can anyone tell me if jeepgarage is any good? And if so, a particular level?
I have been in I for about 10 days according to 877, 866, and jeep chat, so I suppose it is true.

Especially when you wait 100yrs apart for them.

Don't say their name again or you'll be jumped on by those who think it remains a secret, and if FCA finds out, will shut them down.

They are the best source of tracking information currently available. They use the same data that this site's spreadsheet relied on, but they updated as much as 6 times more frequently (up to 3 times per day vs once every 2 days for this site at the end).

They don't become accurate until you reach "E" status and your build begins. After that, I have not encountered any inaccuracies. They also have the advantage of keeping every status update so you can see all of the changes over time. This site used to overwrite your last status with every new update.

They have proven to be significantly more accurate than 877 and 866 while providing location data which I don't think the call centres have. To become enrolled, just register with a Level III membership that costs $25.

BRAVO - great response , you win.

It has been 3 years in a row - but you are exactly correct, not a rich history like there is across the border!

Well my 4 door has made its way to kzod, I guess since my 2 door build is still in D even though ordered well before the 4 door that means the 4 door will be here 1st. So eventually once its built we will have an available 2door ocean blue manual Rubicon pst with every option except leather, optional wheels, tow and smokers on the lot.

So I had been given an estimated delivery date of 5/17-5/27, then several days later I had asked for an update. When I asked for that second update, they said that the date was now to be determined, and it could be 8 weeks. The jeep arrived two days later. It blows my mind that Jeep CS can't even track a Jeep that has already been shipped. At least I have it, and will pick it up later this week!

Thank you, and sorry about the name.

Since you're on the tracking site whose name we may not speak, note that they have kept tracking data from a number of past years online. Load up the individual pages and use your browser's "Find on page" function to search for your destination to see there have been previous deliveries there. If you find one, it should list the various stops along the way.

I'm guessing you won't find one specifically for Deming, since it looks to be a small centre. However, you may have luck with Albuquerque or El Paso, either of which will likely be the rail destination before it ships to Deming. I found two deliveries for my destination of Winnipeg (pop: 700k) listed over the past two years.

thanks. found no el paso or deming but did find 3 albuquerque, and 1 of those was a wrangler, so that did provide a little insight. deming could go either route, through ABQ or down through dallas/el paso.

Nice to see that in general it's a week to two from toledo to rail unload, and then a week to two truck load to dealer. Estimate about a month... i may be driving my JL by july 4th but more likely end of july it seems

Fortunately, it looks like Alorton is not on the path and it skirts north of that and stays on the rail through Kansas City

Found out I'm in KZ today with PST, full build info in my signature. Shipping arrangement is not complete and no ETA yet when it'll make it to dealer.

When I entered D-1 I was informed ETA ship date of 5/16 (which we all know means build date.) When that day came around there was no indication anything happened. But over the weekend Jeep Chat confirmed I was in E. And this morning dealer + Jeep Chat both confirmed KZ. I suspect it actually started around 5/16 but their system is slightly delayed?
