Here is my time line, that I will be updating in future posts to this tread:

6/11/18 Mon: Changed OWL tires to BSW
6/13/18 Wed: Dealer put in order. Only after I requested my POC and VON did it got done.
6/13/18 Wed: Jeep chat confirmed VIN and D status, with an estimated 21 days in this status
6/22/18 Friday: Jeep Care call confirmed it had been D1 status for 1 day, with an estimated 28 days in this status. Also emailed dealer, they replied (with a confirming screen shot of their "system") that the estimated ship date was 7/3/18. They also stated shipping time would be 3 weeks.

Hey 2 Door Folks-just curious...has anyone that has taken delivery noticed the doors-dents issue reported on this thread and others?:

Yep. I have that dent. Looks like the hinge was overtightened to the door. But, I do see it, lol.

I think I saw somewhere that if you loosen/remove the door and put it back on it releases some of the tension. Let us know if you try it.

jball thanks for the update. glad to have a partner in crime. sad to see that 3uph, jball and alt did not receive any new status :-(

guess my pickup on saturday tomorrow is officially out. and worse yet dealer told me that even tho it's a 4.5 hour drive from ABQ to deming, they rarely see a delivery same day as load due to route and other deliveries...... said to expect 3 days...... means sat 6/30 is 50/50 at this point

My pleasure! Sorry to hear no great progress for you-can't believe it takes another week just to go a couple hundred miles. I wasn't expecting an update just yet-it should hit Benicia, CA around tomorrow morning if all goes well from here. I'm sending vibes out that yours will make it to you much sooner than expected!

BTW-I calculated that Monday will be 200 days from order date. Hoping my guy can beat that.

It's hard to believe that there is someone out there who can actually beat me on the refresh button and get an update noticed before i do...

just checked JG tracking, apparently wife's 1-13-2018 s pst w/everything was born today. 5+ month gestation, hopefully no complications and we can bring her home soon! We'll see. Total shocker, on to the next wait but any movement is good movement.

This is how I picture both of us, alltimesaresoon:

might need to find a faster gif tho.... i'm considering dropping out of the game and allowing my concierge jball notify me when my jeep has been loaded to the truck...... i might live longer.

Called Jeep chat today and I guess something gave between yesterday and today. They said it's built and should get to my area around the 10th. That would put it at 18 days in KZ which sounds right to me! That would put the total wait to ~140 days.
