2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Fred]

This is meant to provide insight & information only. Not to contradict people or ruffle feathers. I just thought sharing what I know may ease some people’s tension.

As someone who has to deal with nationwide freight, the industry as a whole is an absolute mess right now, no matter what is being transported. Both road & rail have been experiencing issues for months. In an effort to avoid road delays, people have turned to rail, which has only overwhelmed & clogged the system.

New trucking regulations dropped January 1st, there aren’t enough trucks, drivers are leaving & new drivers are scarce. Transit times are longer. Prices have sky rocketed. Dealing with freight has gone from mildly annoying to an absolute nightmare for shippers, receivers, carriers, brokers.


This is my Vida. She will be worth the wait.
Sport S, automatic, cloth seats, technology, alpine, convenience, safety, cold weather, freedom top, ordered 02/15.

Drillionaire’s guesstimate last week was that she would be built today.
Think happy thoughts!!!!!

Awesome! Wishing you luck on the build for today!!

Looks like all the 2 doors in transit seem to be sports, wonder if any Rubis have been built.

Encouraging.

All 3 are sport. Are there any rubicon’s or Sahara’s in transit? I can’t remember

 

[008]

I now see why shipping is delayed!!

I think that’s just how they mate in the wild.

Turns out I wrote a response that very query just a couple of days ago here:

Bottom line, if by finish you mean delivery, anywhere from 10 days to 2 months or more. Nominally seems to be around 3 weeks. That being said, I was in paint Tuesday, May 1 and am now KZ with an ETA at my dealer between 5/16 and 5/20. Those ETA's are known to change, but for now, I couldn't be happier.

Cryptostickers just reported my build sheet was found. Seems like a good thing but what exactly does that mean?

Just got this text from my dealer. Without even asking this time! One step closer

Cool, then what does sticker mean? Is that after inspection?
