Two Thousand and Eighteen Jeep Wrangler Unlimited
I to am trying to patiently wait and trolling the forum.........This is not my first Jeep but my first JLUR. I currently have a 2015 JKUR, my husband has a 2007 JKUR and a TJ. I ordered on 9/12, it was submitted on 9/13 I have a VON with BG Status & a 24R restriction with a case #. I contacted Jeep Customer Care via Jeep Chat and was given the following update on my case:

"As we are still building out the 2018 JLs - the 2019 Jeep Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited lineup do not go into production until the first week of November. We would encourage consumer to contact us back the first week of November for an update"

So during my waiting time I am picking out my mods and making a Christmas list.....lol
Well, how do you think the Jeep Humor Waiting Room thread got so huge! It's a tough wait...

I’m guessing that most of us that ordered in the first few days of this months allocation period (and are currently in D status) won’t move to D1 until the week of 10/15 (about two weeks prior to 2019 job 1) so I’m not wasting a lot of time checking status until then.

I signed my order for 2019 JL 2DR September 15th with my dealer. I have a 2005 Rubicon that I bought new and it sold today above Blue Book. Now I must wait for me new JL to arrive.

Question to the group: Once I get a VIN number for my order, can I do anything on my own (e.g., internet portal) to follow production of the vehicle? If not, what is the benefit of knowing the VIN - to just be sure the order is in the cue for production? Thank you.

Ordered my first red Wrangler Sahara (3rd Jeep) on the 22nd and received my VIN and D status Thursday last week. This group (and Google Images and YouTube) are helping with the wait!

Just heard from my dealer that my 2019 Sahara has been gate lined (his words), He also said from this point it could be 3-4 weeks. I hope he is correct.

It's my understanding they don't even start building 2019s until the end of this month.

That was my understanding too but he talked to his rep about my order earlier today and it sounded like they might be starting sooner. I’m cautiously optimistic/hopeful. I guess we will see.

Being that I ordered my 2018 in July and still don't have it, I hope you all have a lot of patience!

That means you're status is D1. That is what everyone that ordered in September is in.
