2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

How do you already have the winch in there? Did the dealer install it?

Or should i say the Wench :cwl:

:Looks awesome by the way

I pre-ordered the winch (wench), winch mounting kit, brush guard and a bug shield. Bug shield and brush guard are on back order (go figure). I ordered the brush guard from Mopar, so it's the smaller one if you look at the catalog. I wanted it all installed prior to delivery and I backed the costs of those items in to the loan. The dealer is my friend, so my Jeep was heavily discounted. Yes, dealer installed it.

That makes sense but knowing what I know now im glad I didnt do that. Would have probably just caused more delays for me. Im not sure how im going to install my winch since the silly apartment block I live in now does not have workshop/garage room to do things like that. Might buy everything I wanted to install and just ask the local dealer to do it for me

I live near crown. How good of a discount did they offer? On the fence about a new jl. I saw yours in transit and was hoping to ride by and check it out. Good looking jeep.

Okay, folks. I have received my jeep today. I am going to flood you with pics. I'm hoping they help some of you visualize what your Jeep will look like. If there is something specific you want a photo of, I'll try. But, keep in mind, I plan on driving some place as much as possible and not be hanging at the computer, LOL. I took a photo of the headliners and rear seat just in case someone was curious.

Awesome pics. Great looking vehicle! Congrats!

I'm feelin jball. Wow, I thought I was bad with 1-13-2018 order. Hope it gets there soon my friend, my wife's vehicle is still in line waiting for its turn. Here's to a speedy end of the wait for JBall

That looks like a decent amount of room behind the rear seat? Is there that much room or is it deceiving?

Jball definitely takes the prize. Hard to believe that a December order is still unfulfilled.

I’m still in D1 and ordered January 29. I called my FCA Canada rep today and left a message expressing how frustrated I was. I channeled a bit of Sweetwater for my message. . I’m almost at 5 months now and not even in production yet. Brutal.

erg your pictures are making me want mine even more. Should be built this week so 2 days left!

Add 3 weeks after built for shipping, train and truck. I think trucks are in short supply now.

 

[ZeroTrev]

Yup, dealer gave me an ETA of the 30th but I'm not betting money on it. I just hope I get it in 30 days due to having to re-register my current jeep lol.

Well.......
IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!
Just got off the phone with Lois on the 866 # and she told me that Stormie was built on the 18th (a day earlier than projected), has already gone through framing, paint and inspection and is now "scheduled for shipping" (KZ).
Knowing that she's built and waiting to come home, I'm not going to be able to concentrate on shit now!

Fantastic TJ!!!

Passed 300 miles on the odometer, and am officially past break-in. Rowed through the gears, winding each out to about 4K RPM. Sweet! This little 6sp is super fun to drive...

@Stinger226

Beautiful Jeep!!! You were right about headliners moving faster now. I went JB on 6/5 and just went KZ today!!! 15 days! Whew!

Check out my timeline below. 877/866 is garbage. The status your dealer shows is far more accurate than anything they could or would tell you. Hope my timeline helps with your expectations.

Well... I ordered 3/7, so maybe July... honestly, I get absolutely no information from my dealer. I will just start looking for unassigned rubicon’s in a larger area, maybe I will find something. He is totally useless. Very disheartening; hate to walk away from a wrangler totally, and I would have loved an ocean blue. I’m just beat right now, need to find a cave! It will pass. Glad of all the deliveries, I know we all have had our pissed off times. Can’t wait for my happy dance!

Hang in there. It will be worth the wait. I ordered 4-19. Built 2 weeks ago. Estimated delivery next M-F.
