2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[EarlyJK]

Correction, the one on the left is a JK Rubicon, and below is my old 2003 TJ Rubi, the first year for the Rubicon. But YES each generation shows big improvements as far as I am concerned.

Wow the JK did not even look like a Rubi till I zoomed in on the writing on the hood. The JL definitely looks a lot better stock than the JK or TJ does

I ordered 2/10 and have not heard a peep. Assume I’m in D. I’m tricking my mind and saying it will be Aug. anytime sooner is bonus. But reality is...BS, and I do blame the PST. If I could I’d switch to hardtop and buy PST later.

To buy the pst later going to cost you over 2k , compared to 595 option.

Man I still haven't even seen a 2 door in the flesh... gonna make my biweekly drive to the dealer to peep their lot today. While they're closed!

Some progress. Hope it doesn’t change.

Our resources indicate that your order has been into the Gateline Schedule (D1) status with a build plan timing for the week of June 4th.

I got an email reply that told me the same thing. Keeping my fingers crossed, for both of us.
Remember, May started with a whole bunch of 2doors in D1 :

But, also remember, the 2doors were just coming on line AND that the numbers are Year-to-Date. Hopefully, the line is up to speed now.

Looks great! Need a big Jack-o-lantern sticker for each door during Halloween.

I had to get used to feeling the base thumping through the floor & pedals. It threw me a bit at first with the power it puts out!!

Do you think over time that the speaker will get covered in dust and grit being on the floor? Any way to clean it?

I'm rooting for you, but I would not believe any of the dates FCA provides you at this point. They still are not caught up yet. Again, though, I hope it turns out to be true.

I think it is under the back floor cover, so it shouldn't be exposed to that much dirt. You have to lift the back floor to access the woofer is what I saw on pics.

Oh I could see that happening for sure, but it wouldn’t be a hard clean. I’d say blow it out with forced air & then vacuum it up.

Maybe there is hope for me I ordered a 2 door Rubi with PST and stick shift on 12/11

After three years there is some dust/debris in mine, but it's minor. If you're out on the trails, you should probably cover it with a light blanket or sheet, but for day-to-day, it's fine as is. I did have a GPCA cargo cover over it for most of that time-not sure if that helped or not. I'll try to get a picture of mine today so you can all see what it looks like-I turn in my 2015 JKUR tomorrow and will be in a rental until my JL shows up.

I’m alone in my house for the first time all weekend! Tomorrow is for chores, errands & random driving. This afternoon is for couch, tv catch up & wine!
