2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[IMBlu]

Two things:

1- People should really show some class and stop badgering Jeep Chat with this stuff. They are doing the best they can with the information they have. No need to adopt a 17 year old's attitude.
2- Way too many people use "insure" when they mean "ensure"!

I agree totally. Spewing our frustration on the Chat employees is futile. I think we should all take up jogging, much more relaxing and productive while we wait.

Does anybody think they are just trying to drive the sale of the leftover JK’s? My dealer has probably five or six left.

I was #53 in D1 this AM on the tracking spreadsheet. This afternoon I am at 50. Any ideas when I might move up to E? Thanks!

No. That is all. No. JL is here to stay. Just start bumps.

That's what i was pointing out, I see dealers with 30 or more jks still on their lots!

Still stuck in D1, has anyone legitimately moved on from D1? This massive thread is too hard to keep up with

ive been communicating directly with an executive at FCA inside the jeep wrangler brand. today, this person checked my VIN and VON and confirmed that:

a) two door production is already underway

b) premium soft top orders will not begin until second week of may. that’s what i ordered (no hard top)

the person is a strong and reliable source and privy to key details of wrangler activity. also of interest: the jeep marketing group is entirely aware of this particular forum thread, and they have been following it from afar.

also talked to my dealer today and pestered him to talk to his FCA rep who double-confirmed two door production but had no insight into premium soft top dates.

based on this, i anticipate receiving my new jeep 2 door premium soft top in early to mid june. i’ve waited this long - since january - so what’s another 6-8 weeks? bummer since i now have to ride a scooter until it arrives, or drive my wife to work, but whatevs...

Production on 2 doors started 4/9, as opposed to January for 4 doors. A little patience will go a long way

Number one your assuming production of 2 drs started 4-9, no one has proven that's a fact yet. Number 2 patience is one thing , but the complete bungling of the jl roll out, and lack of communication is something else entirely , considering the fact that it only took me 4 weeks to get my 2014 rubi , and i'll be lucky to get my 2018 rubi in 4 months , and we see how Fca completely dropped the ball on this one. some people on this thread ordered in jan. and wont get their jeeps till june, having to wait a half a year for a car order is insane!

Stopped and talked to my dealer Saturday. Sat in a lifted grey 4dr JL Sport with all kinds of Mopar goodies. They had the top off, doors off and the windshield down. Bummer, as I wanted to see how much head room I'd have (6' 3"). liked everything about it (other that the 2 extra doors ). They pulled my update while I was there. Still D1 with an estimated ship date of 4/26. Keep telling myself the wait will be worth the wait. Waited almost 9 months for my 2011 BMW 1M Coupe. They only made 740 of those for the US. I was lucky to even get one. My new Rubi will look great next to it.
