Thanks for posting! That’s the first picture of a 2-door black Rubi with a hardtop I have seen. Very similar to what I have ordered.

So I just ordered a 2-door Sting-Gray Rubicon, manual and hardtop, on 2/28. Chatted with Jeep, they gave me my VIN and said I’m in D status.

Why would a new order not land immediately in C status? Are they putting different order combinations in different buckets based on production schedules? Or is D the first step for all orders?

I was D for like month.....D1 for a couple weeks (at best i guess) and I'm back to D per jeep chat today....I said I guess because I checked with chat and they told me I was scheduled for production with all parts ready...didn't check for a couple weeks then made it to tracking and wasnt in D1......D is better than C but you can always get pushed back like some have. I've been all over the place with my order on regard of getting a JL or JLU...the 5k difference is the reason I haven't gone to the dealer but I will go to see for myself if I'm convinced or not. My build is simple JL sport s soft, manual, lsd, tech tow...if the dealer had a JLU manual I probably would be driving it by now even without the tow and lsd...but eh...idk

JL Rubicon on order
I was in D now pushed back to C. I ordered Rubicon with premium soft top. I wonder if the soft top caused the C status since originally the hard tops were going to be built first.

Is there anyone here with a soft top in D status?

I went from D to C yesterday (Friday) so you might want to check again.
i just i just did after i posted that - they told me again today that i’m in D status, which seems at odds with what everybody is hearing
