Hot off the press...got an text from our shift manager and he received an email from our Toledo Assy contact. Good and bad news....bad news is my Jeep is built.(not horrible news) the guy was on vacation last week do it slipped by...good news is it's in customer audit and I get to go there today for the audit and plant tour! Pics to come!

And just as I get my hopes up my Jeep did not make it in today for it's audit so is now scheduled for tomorrow...eerrrrr this Jeep ordering thing is crazy! Is a good thing because now my bosses want me to take my partner and get with our counterparts at the plant and see the stuff they are making! Going to be a good day!

My cousin just hired in and told me that there are still issues with the frames and the white board is full with issues! I don't care, it's under warranty...cant wait to get it.

Issues with frames? Can you elaborate please?

So I finally got to meet my wife's new Jeep still in the womb! The tour was awesome! As of now chassis and body can run at rate but still a little behind in assy. There were a few 2 doors, a few pumkin's, new blue, didn't see any stingray gray though. All Pentastar's, no GMET4's or Diesel's but not surprising. Pics are from my Jeep in the audit room. There were a few little flaws that they catch like paint blemishes which you can see a arrow on the fender in the hood open pic and door gap on passenger rear in same pic and that was for door gap which you really couldn't tell. It will change also the first time you remove the top but they catch every little thing and make it perfect! Lots of Jeep's coming out of there so be patient, they are trying to spit them out as fast as they can!

Awesome news!

With such attention to detail, how do they make it to dealers with miss-matched panels, gaps in the windshield, etc?

Panels were not mis-matched, just not perfectly straight. Oh, and now I know why people complaining about the key fob size.....it was bigger than my Ram 3500's

Also if you look at the pic with me in it, where the reflection from my hand on the hood is another tag where they found something wrong...pointing at the hood vent....I could not see anything wrong?

Any chance you were able to slip a $100 and they let you drive yours home, avoiding freight delivery??

Will you be having Steve Morris (hat) put a Procharger on the Rubi once you get it home?

Is that my white Rubi stuck in JB since 1/31!!! Your truck looks awesome! I got to say though I’m double thinking maybe I shouldnt have ordered so soon to have these problems, I know they’re trying to fix these things and work the quirks out but to have these problems so soon, body gaps, paint blemishes,etc is not what I want to hear, especially from my build that’s been sitting in JB for three weeks. Makes me believe there was a lot more things wrong on my truck than a soft top and the longer it stays the worse I feel. In hindsight you could probably say it might be better that we had it built so soon this way we are more closely checked but the paint blemishes is what would bother me. Anyway you are very lucky to get that tour it looked fun and you look happy!

Hello NY neighbor. My build was 12/17, so obviously it was built during the first batch releases. One thing my 12 years in the Army taught me was attention to detail. I went over mine like a boot camp inspection, and I can't see any misalignment, paint blemishes, etc. The build quality seems impressive, and everything shuts/closes/turns/twists without any glitches. I am very impressed so far, and hope that you don't let the fact that the factory is finding some minor issues here and there bother you. Even vehicles in their last year of production have issues.
