Is the POC and the build sheet the same thing?

I talked to Ace Engineering today and they just now started production on the 2dr sliders. My order has been waiting for over a month now. I think they might fit the bill for a step too. I'm hoping they provide just a bit of tire slinging protection.

Ace Engineering apparently moved manufacturing to a new facility/building or something along those lines, so I heard. Kind of stalled things a bit in regard to product going out.

Anyway, I too heard today, that the 2dr. Sliders are going to be shipping soon.. I figure we may see them at our door step sometime in the two weeks. As you, I have a set on order...

The POC or Priced Order Confirmation is generated when the order is place. The Build Sheet could be referring to the POC or it could be referring to the Equipment Listing sheet that is generated when the Jeep is built.

I'm loving the 2 door manual.

Finding out more and more as I go. Love the adjustable gauges, new off road pages, and this lovely V6. It really likes being pushed. 3-4k rpm and it moves along just fine. It's more comfortable and quieter. What's not to love?

So...

Anyone have a lead on 2 door armor? Skid plates and rock sliders with a bit more of a step are on my list next.

Do you have Rubicon? If not, I really like my JCR rock sliders.

Maybe there is another Thread that is more of what you want to hear. That's OK
as you can be on two Threads. All these people here mean a lot to me. They became
part of my life through all the BS we had. I will always know their names and the fun
we had and still will in the future.
I VOTE to change nothing.

I have no quibble with the camaraderie of those purists that love the two door Wrangler...I am also firmly entrenched in that camp! My point is the topic of this thread is "Build/Order Discussions". This thread is far removed from that! A simple name change that better suits what this thread is about will preserve the discussion.

I do have a Rubicon. The stock sliders may do but I want something to keep the rocks further away, have a step, and help with the little rocks flug by the tires. I like JCR's sliders in that they have the rock lights built in, but those things are bank. They also require riveting the tub.

I still have not seen offerings from AEV or Metalcloak. I'm in no hurry yet. Still babying the new Jeep. Eventually though, I'll be heading out to tougher trails while I explore.

I say leave this thread title ... leave the thread alone!

But, I think it might be best , if another thread was started say entitled, 2 dr. Coffee Clutch or something, and then all that want to continue the off topic, coffee clutch, cutesy caricature pics, kissy kissy, Good morning and Good Night, etc., (not knocking this) and such posts, can just carry on there.. move forward there in that thread.....

This way, "2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread" will once again be a place for perspective JL owner's / new forum member's can come to, to glean info/ learn without having to wade through all the lets call it coffee cup, 8-) camaraderie....

Disclaimer: I am not against or see anything wrong with the camaraderie.. such posts as I mentioned. Would like to see it find a new home though.

I will admit that even myself, as one of the first few to post in this particular thread, feel put out so to speak that the thread has become so diluted, lets say. It is hard ot weed through all the ..............

Hi! Long time lurker on the thread, about to order my first Jeep! This thread has been so great to read this past year for a newbie like me, thanks to everyone for their knowledge and overall great attitudes It's really helped me decide that a Jeep and a 2 door is for me. One question I haven't seen any info on (i think) is, how comfortable is the back seat in the 2 door? I'm intending my Jeep to be a 2 seater for 99.99999% of the time, but in the very few instances where passengers will be back there, will they be comfortable for a longer distance than just across town?

I'm most likely ordering my Jeep from out of state, so the drive back will be at least a couple of days. If I bring a couple people with me, would the 3rd person in the back be miserable for 2 days of 8+ hours of driving?

Actually, in the back of my JL Rubi, 2 dr. is quite comfortable. The few times (3) I have had a passenger back there we have traveled say 400 miles plus and they always claimed it was comfortable, good view and more positive things.

I'm hoping that @cedxc2005 can offer some info since he sat in the back of mine for a short jaunt. Maybe he can say whether or not he felt it could be ok for longer or not. Other than that I myself have never even tried my back seat to be honest. It has been out and wrapped up more than it has been installed.

Good to know. I'd say that long a trip is a pretty good indicator.

Edit: as long as they weren't 10 year olds.

The thread title definitely needs to be updated. It is about the farthest off topic thread on the whole board now!

It has evolved as have many of us have. Around ten months ago we embarked on a journey of waiting, false hopes and one disappointment after another as we waited for our new two door JL to be built. And little by little we came out of it and one by one we became the first to have a two door JL. Now that is all in the past and the thread goes on. In three months it will be different, always changing, its members come and go but many of us are still here for the ride. Here is meme I created as I waited that I posted back in "the waiting days".

I just ordered my 2019 Wrangler Rubicon in Mojito. The steel bumper group is on restriction as well as in general 24R group. I received my VON number immediately

Darn restriction, I can’t believe it! Nevertheless, I can’t imagine you’ll have to wait a second long as the 2018 wait! If it’s going too slowly, sign up with JG (can I name it now, or are we still on restriction?)

Thanks. That's some good input then.
