happy for you...I ordered over 3 months before you and were in the same stage...lol fuck fca
Yeah that stinks :(. My order from March was built last week and is in transit as of the past weekend.

If you ordered a 2 door you were waiting until April regardless of order date. PST and you were waiting until mid May. Then on top of all that you may get hit with a parts restriction. Something as simple as TRMS could hold your entire order up.

And after all that you get to deal with shipping.

I sure hope I am in paint, you as well. jg tracking still shows me at D1 and no updates from Crypto. Who knows with FCA.

Turbo orders are a complete cluster**** and makes the wait here seem like a minor bump. All 2.0L owners had their orders scrapped and clone orders made, with the option to switch to 3.6. Looks like most of them are getting told Late July before builds, one or two have been told July 2nd.

Nope. Engine Block Heater that was originally part of the cold weather group was removed. Mine, a manual, did not come with it.

My official 600 page owners manual came in USPS yesterday. 2 weeks


Nope, you're not being unreasonable. FCA has done an embarrassing job in all this...especially for the 2 doors. For some part, I feel bad for the dealers as they don't seem to be in the loop at all. Mine sat on the lot for 7 days waiting on a full truck as well. Truth is, they have us over a barrel. All of us wanted and love a 2 door and I guess they knew we'd suffer thru all the delays, poor communication, etc.
i honestly believe this to be to be true, the two door purist market is small but definitely loyal. there is just nothing else to compare. they knew we would suffer thru.

All the Nubies are bringing back all those terrible waiting memories. Yes just memories
for us that waited so very long. They will become memories for you also in a short time.
Don't burn bridges with you dealer. It is not the Dealer's fault things are moving slow.
And your dealer has so much more to do other than "Check your Order". In my 4 1/2 month
wait I contacted him 3 or 4 times. My last contact got mine "Hot Tagged" and arrived in
3 days. Call 866# or 877# twice a day and Email Nicole twice a week. Write down all you
find out and average it out and there is your "Update". You all sound exactly like all of
us back when. We want to help so just ask and yes blow off steam !!!

Get this...
It has been sitting on the lot since TUESDAY (6/26)!!! I am so pissed.
Definitely have some pics and video for y'all once I pick her up and get her out into the field!!! :handsinair: :jk::flag:

Can't wait to see your pics! Be sure to take a bunch of them. I'm considering a build pretty similar to yours.
