Dealer says JB, Jeep Chat says D1 (2 door, V6, Soft top)

After seeing your post, I went on chat. Here's what I got:

Kaitlyn: Hi, my name is Kaitlyn with Jeep Customer Care, How may I help you today?

James: just wanted to check on the status of my Wrangler build. Here's my info:

James: 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon (JLJS72) Order Date: 12/7/2017 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kaitlyn: Congratulations on the new vehicle I am happy to see what the status is for you today! Just allow me a quick moment to check this out.

James: thanks!

Kaitlyn: Did you order a two door Jeep James?

James: yes

Kaitlyn: Okay, your Jeep is actually in stage D. This is because the two doors got delayed to be built until early-mid April I am so sorry for this delay but your Jeep will be in stage D until April once it can hit D1 and then start building

James: I am aware of the delay-however a friend of mine that has a 2-dr, V6, Soft top was just told by Jeep Chat that his build was in D1. Can you explain that? I saw a screenshot of his chat.

Kaitlyn: I cant explain that, I have no knowledge on that chat. But I was informed by a supervisor of this delay and which explains your vehicle being in stage D for this long

James: did you actually check on my VIN or did you just assume since it's a 2 door?

Kaitlyn: I checked your VIN, it states stage D.

James: okay-thanks. Have a nice day

Kaitlyn: Thank you for contacting Jeep Customer Care. Please chat with us again if you need further assistance or Jeep Customer Care at 1-877-426-5337

You have disconnected.

We are in a weird 2 door world. I ordered 1/26 and now just hope it is built in April.

I agree it could be parts of mine that are available, but the point I found more interesting was:

Im willing to bet you guys that somehow made it to D1 are going to sit in D1 until April anyways. Either that or get moved back again

I’m not so sure

 

[Fred]

I agree with AdHerp. It is almost like they are screwing with us by putting a two door in D1 and getting our hopes up! I would however get excited when I see a bunch of us go to D1 as it would be more credible information that the 2 door build was starting. Till then all we can do is keep hoping to see a bunch of us move forward!

 

[sunol]

Speculating, but D1 could just mean the start of the line in April. They might be prepping the parts for the first ones to be built, which would make sense to me for the first couple of weeks of production. As they start production and they work their way down the queue, more get added as D1, etc.

 

[That One Guy]

What's that production count lead on the 4 door by now? 40,000 built? Lol

A good guess - I hope you are right and the tracking list may reveal this story over the next couple of weeks.

Sorry, I'm new to this thread and this is the first I am hearing about the price increase. I placed my order on February 8th. Wondering if I was effected and if so, how much...Can anyone tell me when the increase went into effect and how much it was...Thanks.

You should be fine as the price increase was effective March 1st. As long as your order is in as a sold order you should be good.

I'm now glad the two door JLs are delayed. I blew out my shoulder and had it rebuilt yesterday. I won't be able to drive a stick for 4-6 weeks.

Hopefully by the time my 2 door manual Rubi is built my shoulder will be healed.

For everyone else I'm sorry you have to wait.
