2004 Honda Accord coupe, V6 6-speed manual; ordered 2018 JL Sport 6MT with A/C and anti-spin. D status.
I want to see Jeep be a top quality brand and we gotta tell them we expect it and show them we mean it.
Shouldn't this be Jeep and FCA's job? They're so cocky with this desirable vehicle, we have to tell them we want them to be a top quality brand, and not them telling US they want to be that brand?

If the major quality and reliability issues, NAMELY WELDING, get sorted by late May, I'll place an order. Otherwise I'll purchase a Tacoma. Your call, Italy. I want my dream vehicle but I can't be an idiot and knowingly purchase something with bad welds causing steering failure, if that case starts repeating.

My 1987 4Runner had a beautiful, overwelded strong frame. Take a page from that book.

Trying to find a dealer to sell me a 2 door and they just told me 2 doors are unavailable to order and offered me a 4 door from the lot. I didnt make a sound , just got up and walked out.

Got a call from Jeep customer care today and confirmed that the premium sunrider soft top 2 door production won’t start until mid to late May...

2 door ocean blue jl
Jeep chat says check back in May, so I called the 800# and after being put on hold a bunch I was told they are NOT building 2 doors yet, maybe in another week. It really seemed like they are withholding information to keep us in the dark for the sake of damage control. This is a joke.
I CHHOSE not to believe that

They just had a 4door catch on fire in the test lot at Jeep today. Wonder if it’s the 2.0turbo?

Finally found a shot of the storage area under the cargo floor. Looks similar to the 4 door's except it looks shallower? Also when the flap is open, the very back of the hole is slightly obstructed.

Reminder 2 door is unlike the 4 door. In 2 door this storage is absent if the vehicle is equipped with upgraded audio since the subwoofer sits in that hole. Whereas all 4 doors get this storage area since the sub hides in the side cargo panel.

It's time to move on from D1!
I would be very happy to hit D1! LOL

Ordered 2/5 - first date I found that Ocean Blue could be entered as an order.

Was at my dealer yesterday to add the Active Safety option to my order since I’m still in D status. (Ocean Blue, Premium Soft Top).
Noticed tons of leftover JKs, asked my friend there what’s going on with them and he said can’t move em it’s the same throughout the area.
Hmmmm... still think my conspiracy theory may be true. Hold JLs up till JKs move off the lots.

Doubtful, the JK's will sell once they discount them enough
