Flyboy,

I also ordered a manual transmission. What are your impressions of it so far?

Wow, thanks! that's awesome! What about width-wise?

The creator of cryptostickers re-arranged the site and put in a table of averages. According to the table, 2-door Sports average 63 days from order to "Found." As of today, I'm on day 97 and still in D.

You could park a car in there.

120 Days since my order, 29 days in D1. Tired of waiting, and just plain pissed off. Can't get any kind of factual answer from Jeep as to a build date. This is past ridiculous and is a display of poor management and incompetence from FCA. Other companies have a system you can monitor your build process. and all we get when we tell them " I have been in D1 for 20 days can you give me an update?' is.... "all the materials have been collected and your Jeep should begin the build process shortly" Give me a freaking break!

Those averages for the moment, should include order dates on 2 door that are prior to actual build/start/increase in early april. I wouldn't expect those dates to hold there, but to start to slowly decrease, and approach the 4 door times.

Just for fun, I went to the build jeep site and rebuilt my dream Jeep. Still my blue 2 door Rubi, picked it all over again, and helped me see I still want to wait for it.
I can’t help to wonder if part of the build delays have to do with delivery shortages. They must be spending millions on that. On the other hand, the production itself costs enormous amounts of it isn’t going at full speed. You would think they would come up with their own solution somehow, it has to hurt their profits, no matter how the sales are rocketing.

Is your top painted? If not, we seem to have the exact same build other than color. Our order dates are the same and we both went D1 on the exact same day. Trying to see any reason why one is built and the other isn’t.

No, top and fenders are not painted. We are past due for the build!

Surprised we haven't had a second delivery yet.

The wait rages on. Excited to check out a 2 door once my local dealership gets one. Hopefully that'll be soon.


To pass the time, how many of you would get a Sahara if it was still offered?

I would order a two door Sahara if offered. I had a Sahara TJ and loved it, and as a matter of fact wish I had kept it. I was tempted to order a Sport S but decided to wait and see if I could get a good deal on a two door JK Sahara 6MT somewhere. Found a dealer about 3 hours away that still had a 2017 in stock and started the process over the phone. Then they wouldn't even offer the discount they advertised on their website and Autotrader since I don't qualify for all the "incentives." Maybe this is the new normal - I haven't bought a new car in a while. So back to the drawing board for me and will probably just buy a used JK Sahara after reading all the issues with getting the two door JLs out the door.

14 2 doors in the build section of the tracking sheet. good sign

Several 2 doors with order dates after mine are D1 on the tracking sheet. good sign

Yeah it was mentioned earlier there are overall shipping issues in the US. Lack of drivers and other factors.

I really doubt FCA wants these vehicles sitting and waiting to ship. Costs in terms of paying for more storage and lack of revenue for sold orders can’t be cheap.

The other thing is how is the shipping issue impacting suppliers? Aside from getting parts to FCA those suppliers have to deal with waiting for parts to build up their supply.

All seems rather messy.

that’s my dream - was told again today that my build is first week of june! i ordered a sport s with PST in january

it will likely arrive in july, halfway through summer and right before 2019 order banks open. really sad outcomes for FCA.

I

I can not recall how many times they said they would call with an update. (so many times!)
And I have yet to receive 1 call back. I do call twice a day maybe they will ship it rather
than hear from me. Oh yea also one Email a day too.

i do jeep chat in the morning and cal the hotline at night.unfortunately i get the same answer from both still D check back in a week, also they escalate my case everytime when they see how long ive been in D . They cant tell that ive already been escalated at least 8 times, so i have 8 different case numbers for the same order. shows you how on the ball they are, and all that has done nothing to get me my jeep.
