2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[alltimesaresoon]

After my last post I called my dealer to confirm, he said I was still in D status and the that only the turbos were to start production this month. So I called Jeep customer service again, talked to a different lady that put me on hold for 4 mins. She said that 2 door are delayed and won't start production until late April. I told of people already in D1 and that I was told mine started. She said that 2drs could have started production but she did not know and did not know why they are delayed. All she could tell me is that she gets some info to tell people and that it's not always up to date.

lol, i hope you told her how happy and appreciative you were for her not always up to date information

I kept asking why we keep getting different info. Then that's when she said she doesn't know.

Wonder if you're now on the hook for the $750 price increase from 3/1...

I'm hanging in there for my PST. It's been almost 4 months since I ordered, so what's one more?

I’ve got a copy of the order sheet and did not appear to have increased other than the top.

I ordered back on 1-1 and change my top from pst to hard top just a day or 2 later. Nothing to do with delays at that point but because I knew I would get one eventually and wanted them to install the harness and washer line plus if the bcm needed to be flashed.

Hey Boston Billy, I used the same logic when ordering back on 12/13/17. JLRubicon, Granite, Black hardtop, color match fenders, V6, 8speed, most options including led package. I will buy a Bestop fastback NX Glide for the 2 door as soft tops are available. After 3 months in D status, moved to D1 4/16 slot 70, today slot 11. Twenty eight two doors in D1, one JL in KZ. All JLs on spreadsheet appear to be V6 Penastars. May 5th ship date as per dealer. The same guy who told me Turbos would lead off build, and my order wouldn’t build to Mid May, with a June ship date. So much distorted mis information. Cautiously optimistic.......

I totally gave up on chasing any info from Jeep Chat. I heard on the 9th or 10th that I went D1 from my dealer as well as here. I am a Granite, black hardtop, painted fenders, black leather, 8 spd, with everything else but the safety package and smokers. I just kept clicking yup I want it, lmao

I am in a similar situation I want it, I don't need it. I still have my JK but I also have a company work can. I can wait and hope that alot ot the major issues will be fixed before the 2 doors roll out

They already started. Maybe he is saying that yours starts the 23rd

Well that’s a relief. I’ve done mineral creek a few times in my stock JKU. Some rubbing and a bent running board but that’s was all. Never done black bear but want to sometime. Heard a few horror stories.

Thank you, guys, for helping me look beyond delivery!

On another note, I was looking at ordering some parts (as I havent had a wrangler for a couple years), and in looking at some new side mirrors I came across some "customer pics" of the mirrors on peoples jeeps, but they were all on 4 doors w/ the doors off. Man I'm not typically one to yuck-somesone's-yum, but 4 doors with doors off just isn't for me.

The wait for the past few months has been brutal (especially b/c I decided I was getting a JL when they were rumored early last year), and the lack of transparency from FCA has been atrocious, but I will 100% hold out another month for the 2dr PST, I mean if I'm paying 40k for a Jeep, I'm going to make sure its exactly what I want (given the hand we're dealt w/ no 2dr Sahara's). For everyone changing their orders from PST, I would probably refrain from doing this.. After these hardtop 2drs are built over the next couple weeks, Jeep will likely hold all of the 2 doors for a few weeks to ensure there no issues w/ leaking, software updates and such, let alone the supposed "recall" on the 30k Wranglers in the shipping yard...

I think we'll all be seeing our jl's after Memorial Day, I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I honestly don't know what to believe anymore- other than the fact that since I've waited this long, I might as well set some conservative expectations (and hope for a pleasant surprise!).

Sounds good to me, dude! I’ll chill and wait. When you look at trouble forums, being down the line somewhere may be ok.

Yeah I feel the same way, though only been waiting about 5 weeks. Not in a super hurry, and would work out better for me if it arrives late May or early June. Plus I have a fun car to drive now, so can definitely wait to get exactly what I want with the Jeep. All that said, I wouldn’t mind if mine flipped to D1 soon!
