Dealer gave me an estimated ship date of May 30th, however I got a sense he’s not to confident and I’m not about to hold my breath. He mentioned a rail car shortage slowing everything down ‍♂

A van and a boring car
I'm busy getting my stuff finalized but I have to say this thing drives like a dream. Going with a stick was definitely a good choice. It feels perfect. Also I'm proud I didn't stall out, it's been 5 years since I've driven a manual.

I don't know, thinking this relationship with Jeff is just not going to work out. I should have known, seeing as he is my rebound specialist and I am still getting over Nicole and her "I email everyone" ways.
Jeff is pretty busy this morning.

Just like Nicole, I don't think he has time for you either.

whats up with that open end on the frame cross bar? Shouldn't that be closed/sealed up?

In looking closer I do see drain holes in the lower aspect so it shouldn't catch water, still looks "unfinished" though

Went from one of the first 2 doors to be delivered to watching all my 2 door buddies get theirs. :angry: Over a headliner. :angry::angry:
I was once on a flight from Tokyo coming back home to Canada after a two week trip. Once landed, I was the first though Customs. It was just luck, since I was not the first off the plane, but was funnelled to a Customs window that just happened to open in front of my place in line. I got through with no issues so all that was left was to pick up my checked bag ang grab a taxi.

I was jet lagged and exhausted after an 11 hour flight, but thrilled to be the first out of the 300 or so people on that flight. That’s when I discovered my checked bag was lost. Spent the next 4 hrs at the airport fruitlessly talking to airline staff, filling out forms and waiting. I ended up being the last one from my flight to leave the airport by a long shot and did so without my luggage.

Not the same as what you’re going through, but I think I can empathize.

JL Rubicon on order
So as I mentioned earlier in this thread, I used the hotline email to get an update on my new order. This time around I got Jeff, who stated the PST builds would start mid May. This was on the 14th, and I should note Jeff and I got off to a rocky start as he cut and pasted the same line twice in a row. I thought I would give him a second chance, you know new relationship and all, so I responded asking if he could confirm that the PST's started.

Well, good ol Jeff responded today stating PST builds would start late May. So in 3 days it shifted from mid to late May?

I don't know, thinking this relationship with Jeff is just not going to work out. I should have known, seeing as he is my rebound specialist and I am still getting over Nicole and her "I email everyone" ways.

As always take what the hotline says with a grain of salt, or look at it as entertainment use only.
I have a PST that has been built and is in JS. I got an email from Jeff yesterday confirming this (I already saw it on tracking sheet). So Jeff should know that PST are being built.

Separately, my dealer (who has been very helpful) got an email from the Jeep 'allocation manager' confirming that PST builds started on 5/14.

I really need to see Punkin in person to determine whether I’m jealous or not. I’m not a fan of pure orange, and some of the original Punkin photos were close to that. However, if your photos accurately capture the color, I think it looks great.

it seems like a color that really needs the black top and fender accents, i don't think i'd like it in body color matching at all. it looks great jman, i bet you are thrilled
