2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[Fred]

Here I be, broken hearted
Still in D, no trail runs started

D or D1? Even D1 is absolutely ridiculous at this point. I have been in D1 since April 16 and have seen similar builds to mine be completed. Just plain wrong!

Hey Fred, same build, same situation, same home state. Order 12/19/17, 3 months in D, April 16...D1 after considering order cancellation. Spoke with dealership owner three times yesterday. He’s in denial, repeating his FCA reps nonsense that 2 doors production dosen’ t begin to July-Aug.! He’s unaware he has a white JL Sport stock vehicle built, in transit on his web site. Texted him two pics of JLForum members picking up their JL 2 doors. I do not understand Chrysler’s sequenceing of these orders to build. OlllllllO

It is sad so many dealers are not on top of things. I also ordered a Sport S on December 15 that my dealer will sell , and that is yet to be seen. They are hoping for an end of May delivery for my Rubi which would at this point be a miracle. Someone suggested we put our build configuration in our profile information which I did. I think it helps us see what builds are moving or in some cases not moving. Drillionaire gave be an estimated build date of 5.11. Hoping for it by then! But of course, now it seems there is a hold up in shipping. This whole roll out has been a mess from the start. Just hope we all get our Jeeps soon!

You got that right. I'm still in D (yes, D) and have been since since Feb. 1 with just a basic build!

I was in Utah during Jeep safari this year, hiking all over. I plan to be there next year, drive my Jeep from Georgia all the way to Moab!

That sounds like so much fun. I'd be driving up from the Orlando, Fl area.

Mine is the same build as yours in Billet. Ordered Jan 18. I am directly way North of you in Canada. I am closer to Toledo though. My dealer told me I was in D a week ago.. I'll check in tomorrow.

I drove my JK to Moab for the safari this year and also did a lot of hiking in canyonlands (love the needles district). Second year I’ve made the drive and can’t wait to do it again next year in my JL!

Little bit of a derail here.

Last night I was thinking about how it has been 7 weeks since I ordered. I went in knowing it would be a wait, but figured it would be here by late May or first week of June. More likely it will be built early June and I won’t see it until July.

So sitting in my Game Room thinking how this wait is going to suck, this is just my luck, etc. Then I hear from the next room the little girl we are Fostering saying her prayers. Wife and I are wanting to adopt a little girl but on occasion will do Foster Care. This little one (5) has been with us a week.

Anyways I hear her saying her prayers. Asking for her family to be watched over and how she hopes the day will come soon when she can be with them again.

That was just like right in the feels. Certainly put things in perspective and made my “problem” pretty insignificant.

You’ll be able to take some awesome action photos!

Wow. Ok, after I dry my eyes & glue my heart back together I'm done complaining!

My thoughts exactly! Know of any good primitive campsites up there too?

Sorry, no. Too old to rough it, sleep in feathers at night and work hard on trails during day.

Hahahaha! I'm 55 and I still love doing it.

Been in D basically since December, went D1 on 4/15, I’m now in inspection, hoping it passes and gets shipped! Keep the faith, it’s happening, just really slowly...

And Mordin, that got my feeling too! That’s perspective for you, take good care of the little ones.
