Definitely a possibility. Hopefully sooner than later. The New England area has alot of Jeeps which may turn into full trains and trucks before other areas

Lets Hope so! 4 listed in transit to my dealer alone, and one is mine.

I see you're on the tracking service whose name we may not speak. That service shows you are in KZ status, that your vehicle has been loaded on a rail car and it departed the Toledo yard at 3:07 AM yesterday. Given that level of detail, and the demonstrated accuracy of that data, why are you even bothering with 877 and 866? Just follow your delivery on that site, which is updated two to three times a day, and be done with it.

I was not on the "other tracking" service until a day after I called 877. I have learned my lesson..................

Alright boys and girls, another week of thrills, chills, and spills as we play “Where the hell is my Jeep order?!”. You paid for the whole seat but will only use the edge!

And remember, don’t bother with Jeep hotline. The whole thing is run by Henry Rollins.

Mine is supposed to be start build today. I’m afraid to check, don’t want to be bummed out to start the week.

I just contacted Jeep through Jeep Chat. They said my Jeep has been built and is pending installation of additional equipment. They said this happens when optional features or packages are added. Have no idea what that could be. Possibly the hardtop headliner? They also said it is in JB status. At least this is progress, I think.

quite interesting also to follow crypto stickers, even when you know your own jeep isn't close to it. it's illustrative of progress i think and helps to understand how things are moving. Observations from today:

Scott1911 buildsheet and sticker have been found in the last 24 hours

We are up from about 30 2 doors last week to 59 completed this week. i like doubling tis a good sign

Avg days increased + 8, + 7 + 36, which, while bad news, is more reflective of reality. A 3.6L Rubi is showing as 102 days now, and there is no way i'll make that. I'm at 75 already with 14 days to go before my estimated build date of june 4.

I received the same notification this morning. Steel bumpers? Maybe they are tweaking wind noise issues post build, could be a number of things.

Wish I could even get an estimated build date, all I'm told is mid to late June.

Wow... so calming and relaxing... now I feel I can definitely wait patiently another 3 months! Lol

Do you have an estimate on how long from KZ to ship[ping? There are a several dealers in the area and my dealer alone has four (one of which is mine) "in transit". They said sometimes they get shipments all the way on truck, and sometimes on rail then truck. I am so close now to finally getting it!

From what I can see, it's a real crap shoot. In very broad terms, if you go by rail, you seem to get loaded and sent off most quickly, but then you move very slowly. If you go by truck, you can wait much longer to get loaded (e.g. @Sweetwater), but actual travel time is much faster. The worst seems to be if you do both and you have to sit in a transload yard (e.g. Allorton). Note, all rail shipments end up being transloaded to trucks for the final short leg to the dealer. What I'm referring to here is when there is a long distance leg by train followed by another long distance leg by truck.

My trip is all rail over a distance of 1100 miles, and it looks like my JLR should be dropped off at my dealer tomorrow. That's just shy of three weeks after I went KZ. @jman was closer to two weeks, and I think his was trucked the entire distance. I believe @LydiaSP613 was about the same. And then there's our unfortunate friend @Sweetwater, who's been waiting a month for his JL to travel 80 miles by truck from the factory to his dealer.

The closest to what I call nominal would be in the 2-3 week range, but there are lots of outliers. Distance does matter, and if your vehicle is headed to the west coast, 4 weeks seems common.

Welcome to the club! There are several of us who are in this club and the common denominator seems to be the optional headliner. Hopefully they get going on these and your wait isn't too bad. Me....I've been JB since 5/8.

No, it's none of those. If you have post build quality issues, your status remains "I" until they are addressed. "JB" status means that your build has passed inspection and has been sent to a nearby independent contractor that is responsible for installation of items that are not part of the main assembly line process. Headliners are the most common item, but I've recently read that soft tops are also installed by this same contractor.
