2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[acmejl]

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.

That is crazy!! I loved to be able to understand how that can happen. Obviously dealer inventory takes precedence over an individual order!

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!

Mine has been hot tagged as well and it’s only being delivered 3 hours away from the plant. I’m hoping it will be here soon! Crap they should just let me go pick it up LOL

Call you dealer!

That’s a great question... why isn’t yours!?!? My dealer said “it’s shipped express carrier and it doesn’t sit in the yard”
I’ll believe it when I see it!

Did you get pst or standard soft top?

i keep hearing this and i don't know what people are talking about, there was only one softtop offered to me.

 

[Mordin Solus]

Pretty sure they all come with a standard soft top that you can upgrade to Premium or hardtop.

I received the following this morning:

Dear Mark: I am writing with an update on your 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon! According to our resources, your vehicle has been built & was approved for shipment today. With that being said, shipment arrangements have not yet been completed; therefore, I do not have a dealership ETA available at this time. I will continue to track the status of your 2018 Jeep Wrangler order & will provide email updates as they become available. We appreciate your continued patience and understanding as we work towards delivering your order. Sincerely, Nicole Jeep Product Information Center

So, those of you who have already been thru this - any educated guesses on how much more waiting I have. It's only been 133 days so far. LOL

Looks like a KZ-S status...took me 21 days from this to dealer pickup. I'm in NYC.

and just what is this premium? on the Jeep sight i still only see an offering of a) black soft top, or b) hard top, or c) color matched hard top. i see no other soft top.

If you don’t opt for an upgrade to premium soft top or hard top, what would you get?
