2023 Orders - Check in here

[AndiS]

I’m moving on, waiting friends, but not before I post some pics and tell a little story.

On the morning of December 30, I ordered this Jeep. I’ve wanted a Wrangler for decades so this was my dream vehicle, and the first vehicle I’ve special ordered. It was dropped off at the dealership twelve weeks later.

A couple of hours after I placed the order, my stepmom, Betty, fell at home and was taken to the hospital. The next day, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Ten weeks later, she left our world and joined Jesus.

I feel like I lived a lifetime in the twelve weeks since I ordered the Jeep. It’s still hard to believe she’s gone, even though I was by her side for so much of her rapid decline, attended and spoke at her memorial service, and watched them place her in the ground next to Daddy. The Jeep didn’t seem very important for most of the time I was waiting for it.

The Jeep arrived here late on Tuesday night and yesterday was cloudy and cold so it wasn’t really a top-down day. We made a few small mods, learned how to operate the top, set up the electronics, and so on.

But today! Today is a gorgeous spring Gulf Coast day. It’s warm but not hot and the sun is so bright you can’t stop your face from smiling. It really is a perfect Jeep day…

…and it’s also Betty’s birthday.

So we put the top down, drove around the county, and picked up some cake in honor of our BeBe.

One step closer. Now at KZ.

So, for the experts, is 49 days to delivery a realistic estimate from Toledo to Central Californa or would this be a worst-case estimate?

Yee Haw! Went to "In Production" at Pizza Hut and in Jeep Tracker, today! Dealer says showing and ETA of 4/5 and they might have it in mid-April. We'll see. ;-)

None of you are MTs right?

I am.

Congrats! That earl color looks amazing and I'm so happy I chose it too.

I'm really sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your family. Sharing your story with us serves as a good reminder to keep things in perspective about what is really important. Yes, we are all wanting to get our dream Wranglers and have fun, but it's the people in our lives that make the fun worth having.

Beautiful Rubi by the way. Enjoy it!

I truly hope so ? and that it's fixed right. ??

Also, I just noticed your jeep info. I ordered mine a day before you. C/D 12/27, ESD was 3/11, D1 2/20 then the recall happened. I was in regress for a month and didn't know ? then back to D1 on 3/20. Now apparently ESD 5/11. ?

I'm going to keep close tabs on what happens to my ESD. My Salesperson has been keeping me up to date. I'll post info if anything changes. ?

With all these delays, hypothetically, would the dealer let you cancel the order without losing your deposit?

I went in and asked my dealer a few weeks ago, and they said yes. I decided to hang in for now, but nice to know I’ve the option. It's going to depend on the Dealer.

Mine is in D1 since 3-2-23 I was wondering if the dealer can see something different than the tracker. I guess I could send a quick email. I don’t want to be inpatient.

They see an “estimated ship” date which it seems is actually a build date

Be impatient, it's only natural. To commit to the dollars and not know where the product is can be frustrating. Like Stengaaa mentioned, hit up the dealer. They always have a little more info. I call/text my salesperson, and he usually responds back the same day. With the ESD, at least you have a date to plan with, and not an unknown.

I haven't asked my dealer as I'm still wanting my jeep. But, I would guess there's a good possibility just depends on dealer.
