2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Larry]

So, my jeep is in transit on a railcar and I figured out its path is along Interstate 94 to Minneapolis. Currently at Swanton, OH.

I am driving from Minneapolis to Cooperstown, NY for a baseball tournament leaving early Thursday morning and will be taking Interstate 94.

What are the odds I will see my jeep along the way; but we will be headed opposite directions...

And yes, of course, it is scheduled to be delivered to the dealer while I am in NY. I am concerned they will put a bunch of miles on it, testing it out!

That would be good. Bad would be if they sell it to someone else

Interesting, these have been "On Dealer Lot" for a couple of days and they are identical except for color.

Thoughts?

Here she is!!

Can the top come completely off or does it have to always stay attached like that?

 

[IMBlu]

Haha i like the "He emails me with updates, of which there arent any" :cwl::cwl:

I also asked about getting the finance sorted, and at least got that going.

I was 20 something days in JB for the same thing. Just hope the train carrying your Wrangler doesnt break down for a week and then disappears into the nether like whats happening to me.

I took it upon myself to email my dealer, “just for fun”. Usual answer, he just got back to work, will check first thing in morning... we shall see. Maybe I’ll go ahead and call all the reliable info sites, “just for more fun...”

Comes off, but not worth the effort, IMO.

Someone on the forum had the best idea I want to change it to "Jeepless in Seattle"

Lol! That was me. I see you've got it in your signature!

 

[GRAK]

BOOM

when did you order?

I am glad your's is built. Don't take this wrong and I don't want to burst
your bubble but Swanton Ohio is a storage yard. Mine sat there for 36
days. Then it went back to Toledo yard and shipped in 2 days. They store at
Swanton and ship from Toledo. I may be wrong as things may have changed.

Order 1-11-18----Built sent to Swanton 4-20-18-----Shipped 5-26-18

Me too. I can't help but feel like some of our orders are just being forgotten. Heck, my order has been KZ now for 24 days, with an estimated delivery date of 6/7-6/11.

I was just going to post how excited I was to finally move to KZ status and then I see this.

that whole album is worthy

Dave-been listening to the Blue Clear Sky album all afternoon. Love it-what a gift you've given me. And it sounds good even coming out of the cheap-ass stock speakers in my rented Jetta. Can't wait to hear it on my Alpine. Thanks again!

 

[alltimesaresoon]

Glad to hear. Told ya. Blue clear sky is great. And hard to beat Cheyenne...classic. love George strait

Thanks, should be easier to spot...

That's just it Lisa, your's very well may begin transit right away. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to which order gets shipped and which just sits. Take my ordered JLR.....still sitting and even after being "escalated" we've heard nothing. Then the JLR I found in a local dealers inventory and purchased, was just built on 5/29. I would love to hear how it's possible that this non-sold order was built 2 days after mine went KZ and it's sitting in my driveway and the other is no where to be found.

Lisa-mine went from KZ to shipping and out of the railyard in about 2 1/2 days: My Jeep was "hot-tagged" by my dealer so that may have been why it moved so quickly. See below for my timeline to date:

Also-not sure if this was a factor, but my build date was 6 months to the day from my order date so that might have helped move things along. Think positive! I hope you get your Jeep soon!
