Okaaayyy.... I wrote the post you quoted exactly 14 weeks ago back when I started this thread. It was post #5 under this topic where I'm now writing post #2456. It's looks like you have a fair bit of reading in front of you if you're starting from the first page.Don't get too excited as my Jeep D status has been that way for over 6 weeks.. Good luck. Go get a cup coffee.
:cwl:Well I am ok with waiting buuuuuut just in case I get too impatient I went ahead and ordered the same build in a 4 door also. So hopefully they do not come in at the same time

Was that your original estimated ship date?I'm still in D1 with an estimated ship date of 5-1.
This is the first time my poc included one. At least from what I see.Was that your original estimated ship date?
Good for yofor what its worth, one of the dealers i shopped at when pricing jeeps keeps calling me. They know i was interested in a 2 dr rubicon, They called me to say they have great deals on in stock wranglers. Told the rep im only want a two door rubicon. She emails me the window sticker for a jk rubicon. I tell her its way to much "44000.00" . Tell her i have a jl in order for 35000.00. She says my manger is very motivated and she'll match the price. i say thank you , but I really want the jl. Thats when she says " they are not making the 2 dr jls till the end of may. I said i know, but im going to wait anyway.
all colors look terrific in the 2 door option!On 04/17/18 my ordered 2-door went to D1. Today my dealer told me the Jeep is built and in storage.
It appears a lot of progress is occurring behind the scenes. Delays could be due to quality control, shipping, supplier issues, or a number of other things. It's certain, however, that tracking is inaccurate and Jeep Chat is worse than useless.
For general knowledge to forum members, I requested two after-order changes. The color change was within three days of the order, 01/22/18, and was incorporated into the build. I attempted to add the infotainment package three weeks ago, while the Jeep was still showing D status, but it didn't make it into the build because it had progressed too far into the production process.
This weekend I asked my dealer for an update and he replied:
"According to the system, your vehicle is built and stored. The Infotainment Package wasn't added as the attempt was made after the build was scheduled. Sometimes they store them for the purpose of a release cadence. Sometimes they store them while they wait for the parts related to a specific option to be available. I have left a message up the food chain to identify which it is in this case. I will forward the email and/or information as it is sent to me. Thanks for your patience. I'm kind of excited to see it also.".
This dealer has been very straightforward and direct with me throughout the process, I have no reason to believe he's being deceptive now. Soon enough the dam will break, like it did with 4-door JLs, and supply will meet demand.
My Jeep order is JLR, bright white, black top/flares, 3.6, six speed manual, LED, Cold Weather group, trailer tow, active safety, steel bumper, smokers, hardtop, mats, Uconnect 7 inch, remote proximity keyless entry.

I just want you to know there are other "Jeepless" people out there. I have been Jeepless since I sold my 2003 Rubi several years ago. After a growing desire for another and many trips through dealer lots I ordered my JL Rubi. Can't wait! Ordered 1.8.2018 My dealer told me yesterday I had an estimated ship date of 4.27. Thats not going to happen. He also told me I was back to D status but the order tracking spreadsheet still says D1. Good luck to us all and may we get our Jeeps soon!Finally got word today of my scheduled "estimated" ship date -- May 1 . Now fingers crossed to see if it actually comes to fruition!
