2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Terry09]

There may or may not be 3 or 4 other threads already related to this. Everyone is saying mid march for production. They originally planned to build hard tops and automatics first. Now no one really knows.

Please, no more threads on this topic... every time I see one I think I might learn some new bit of info, but then it's the same 'ol "delayed by a few weeks.... waaaaahhhhh"

Who Will Be The First To Take Delivery On A 2dr?
Are 2 doors being built yet?
Has Anyone had a 2dr Build Scheduled
2018 JL Rubicon 2 Door
2 Door Update
Expected 2 Door Delivery Dates?
Sting Gray and 2-door hardtop update

Edit: @JAY, can these all be combined into one stickie?

From IG:

There is another picture of those two someplace on here and the JL clearly has a manufacturer plate on it. There are also a few members reporting that the 2-door is now being pushed back and production won't begin till mid March.

Jeep confirmed 2 door production will start mid March. Now I’m going to see if I can switch to Stingray

I know you probably don't want to hear it. But I would wait for what you truly want. It seems like an eternity now. But how long will you have this Jeep? 5+ years? Waiting 2 extra months will be a distant memory at some point.

At least that is what I am telling myself.

I agree, the dealer has a 4 door like I ordered arriving soon except no ASD and is auto. I would go check if they would honor the same deal but I'm holding myself from doing it. The ASD and all terrain tires are a bargain for the price and from what I've read, strongly recommended.

Just did yet another Jeep chat & here’s what I got from this one....
Darryl: I know they are doing all of the 4 doors before the 2 doors.
Me: If the 4 door builds are currently on hold due to needing parts, they won’t proceed with 2 doors while they wait???
Darryl: Primary schedule is establish based on production capacity. They would move on and do yours (two doors) if they are still waiting for parts.
Me (wanting full clarification): So if they are waiting for 4 door parts, they would move on to start on 2 door production?
Darryl: Yes

Another interesting tidbit regarding build code status....
Darryl: The dealership system updates faster than ours.
Backwards much??!

Like most people on here, I like to do random Jeep chats to see who I get & how much more info they’re willing to let slide. Muahahahaha!!!

Not a lot but a couple here and there....in a sea of 4 doors! There is so many completed Jeeps sitting outside the building I don't know how the hell they figure out what is going where????? stacked in there also so have to pull 10 out to get to 1. I'm sure there is a method to the madness but they are working hard....surprised on how many workers were NOT on their cell phones!

There’s confirmation that there are 2-doors in production!

Areti: Hi, my name is Areti with Jeep Customer Care, How may I help you today?

Me: I was wondering if I could get an update on a JL build

Areti: I would be happy to check the status of your order.

I’ll be a few minutes while I look into this for you.

Areti: Your vehicle is currently in the scheduling stage.

Me: Thank you. Have they started building any 2 doors yet?

Areti: Not until April unfortunately.


For what it's worth. This was like 2 minutes ago.

The Jeep employee that got to go see his Jeep at the production facility says that there were 2-doors in production, albeit in small numbers. Based on other information received, I think they’ll start arriving by April and production ramped up in March.

I used to work in aviation. We had a saying that the only consistent thing about the FAA was inconsistency. It feels like the same may be true for information from Jeep.

Yea maybe. I just wonder if it's stuff for the show room or more test vehicles. I'll just crack a beer and continue to wait.
