That is terrific. But leave it to transport to complicate things as much as possible. It’s like flying tickets: you need 10 layovers all over the. Ountry to get from A to B.
The logistics are pretty complex. To illustrate, below is a picture of the Gibson Yard, just outside of Chicago, where my JL sat for the last two days. It's the largest autocarrier switching yard in North America. I believe it serves all six of the major North American railways. Other than the five lines of red/brown cars at the bottom of the image, every railcar is an autocarrier. My Vette from Kentucky came through here, as did my JL. The image date from Google is March 17, 2018, so it's very likely that some of those railcars would be carrying JL's for members of this forum.

You gotta put your text outside of my quote.

Any who that's cool. My kids pre School teaches them asl. My two year old would rather sign and talk most of the time. Pretty cool.

I’d believe a hobo yelling at pigeons to get me a better more reliable update than Jeep Chat
Hey, I had Sergio's Hobo as my source first.

New to Jeep!
Just got info from my dealer that my Jeep is in paint. Then half an hour later got an email from the new Wrangler email address that gave the same status. BUT...nothing has changed on the sticker site. Almost afraid to hope that the info is real...

Build stickers don't come until around 24hrs after your build is complete and you pass inspection. Window stickers come after that.

It’s going to be like a soap opera this week. Will PST’s start production? Will Lydia, jman, and Sweet water get their Jeeps this week? Will That One Guy make up his mind and order?

Tune in this week on the Young and the Jeepless to find out!

If you don't want to be happy that is your choice.

You realize, if you would just go out and get a Jeep, you would be a lot happier and a lot less pushy.
