2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[IMBlu]

My dealer confirmed I’m still in I. About 12 days now, I’m worried... Seems the 2 doors eithe come and are delivered or they linger forever. I’m a bit discouraged. Nothing to do but hang in there.

I know I said my kids weren't allowed in my Jeep... But I just couldn't say no.

Future Jeepers! I will be converting my kids into being Jeep enthusiasts as well.

Ordered 3/3 and still in D. I did not order PST...just regular soft top but they continue to say my delay is due to PST or Sunrider Soft Top. Rubi 3.6 manual with tow and info only

Only option I had at time of order was hard top or premium soft top.

Feel for you, brother! We need to have a get together next year! Beers and all! All I know is Moab, which I absolutely love, but I’ll drive anywhere with some advance notice! What is your pick, gang???

I just really hope that when i eventually get my vehicle i dont have any issues with it... Its quite obvious to me that if FCA and the dealership is like this before buying the wrangler, they are going to be like this regarding any repairs or issues..

Now I'm really confused. I stopped in a dealer on the way home from work. There are 4 2door Sports sitting in the lot.
One each of Red, White, Granite, and Black. All hard top, but I looked into each one and the soft tops are in bags on the back seat. All are dealer stock and for sale. In London, Ontario.
I ordered mine from another ( smaller ) dealer in the same city. Still waiting..

If I were a cynical person, I'd suspect the company's sales/marketing group may simply be prioritizing profit, and thereby favoring dealer inventory over sold orders, especially those sold prior to the recent price increase (despite rhetoric to the contrary). As a sold order may simply be considered a bird-in-hand, while absents of inventory may result in the loss of a new sale. This is how a bean-counter would run a business, as although they may lose loyal customers longer term, they'd likely gain in the short-term; being how many have run otherwise great businesses into the ground. (I certainly hope this is not the case, but do note the delivery of 4-doors appear to remain prioritized over 2-doors, even subsequent to manufacturing for some reason.)

That’s the leak I mentioned, and I did check if it was actually coming from the top and the door was fully closed as well as the window.

I think all Jeeps leak. Maybe check out a G wagon.

Going to pick it up Wednesday

I dig the tan seats even though I ordered black. If they had a dark brown I’d be all over it.

I really don’t think so - it’s been a cluster in the production line. Hard core Jeepers’ tend to be 2-door fans and they don’t want to alienate them either. In the past week production for 2-doors has increased 100% if the crypto stats are any indication.

2019 Moab, Easter Jeep safari (april next year), could have a 2 door JL mini jamboree.......it’s a way out yet but we may have to wait until next April for all here to finally get delivery of their 2 door JL

Will probably still be checking you status, next year

I’m obsessed with this forum! Lol! I’m constantly checking! Waiting to see a delivered PST that was ordered near February!

By the time you get your Jeep you will have to change your name to OldGuyOldJeep!

Seriously though I feel for you folks who ordered in December and January. You should have been the firsts to get built when the PST hit the line.

And I am betting the PST is still the hold up. Hell I am kicking myself for going PST on the new order. Bet if I went hardtop I would be in D1 soon if not already.
