2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[BostonBilly]

Afflction,

I've been doing the same. I ordered a hardtop only since dual tops weren't available and fully expecting soft tops to be available for aftermarket purchase by now. lol I've been searching for a bikini top as well and haven't settled on anything yet. I'm impressed by the Jtops reviews. Their 4 door reviews are really good, but they've not started producing 2 door products yet. I'm thinking on waiting for their product. What are your opinions or anyone else?
thanks,

Jtops is huge money for a small piece of material that others have for alot less. I like the total coverage and the lack of bungee cords but not for the money

Soft Top Window Storage Bag?

I have been searching the other forums and websites for a JL Soft Top Window Storage Bag. Sounds like we cannot/should not roll up the windows due to the window channels like I do with my JK's windows. Can't find where to order one, even the one from MOPAR - and it looks huuuuge....

I had also been looking for a JL Sun Shade and was un-happy with what I was finding until I saw the posting on this forum for Alien SunShade. I looked there and immediately purchased a blue one for $75!

Any wisdom from anyone for a JL 2-Door Soft Top Window Storage Bag?

Of all the JK storage bags and the storage for soft top windows, I was most impressed by what Jtops "looked" like. I had a coverleaf with my 2 door JK, but never really happy with it. Jtops product for the window storage seemed to be pretty sound. I'm planning on checking them out more when I'm able to get a soft top for my JL.

I also checked out the Alien SunShade and was impressed with it and the price. I'd appreciate your feedback once installed and driven.
thanks

agree....unless you really want to customize with a flag or design.

Good morning everyone!

11, 2 door, stickers have popped up in the past 24 hours, oldest is 12/5 and newest is 5/11 order date.

Best guess is few, if any, of these have PST. It’s like WTF, they building 1 PST a week or some BS?

The 5/11 one is mine. LED, steel bumper, audio, remote start, auto, hard top. Less than 3 weeks seems too good to be true. I ordered a JKU last year and it took longer. It's going to Idaho so no clue on the shipping ETA.

Well today is June 1st! My dealer said my Jeep would definitely be here by my bday....well today it is and I’m still in D status. I’m frustrated beyond belief! You all know what my bday wish is going to be!!

Happy Birthday. Same boat, ordered 2/16, red jl rubi, PST, and they said it will definitely be here before my bday. So we will see, they have 29 more days.

Found out I was in E Status yesterday and woke up to being in G Status today. Sometimes it feels like this is all random. Haha

I see crypto found @3uPh0riK build sheet!
w00t w00w

I got this today:
We understand there is some speculation regarding the timing of delivery for your new Wrangler JL and I am here to assist you. Please know that Wrangler JL production is still in a launch phase and timing will vary depending on your unique, specific configuration.



I have taken the liberty of looking up your 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL order and the current status as of May 31st is the following:

Production – Your order is progressing through the frame, paint, and trim production status' and should be progressing to the final production stages very shortly.

Maybe I'm next?

Yeah omg cant believe it. Im already so dulled by this process when I saw the mail I was thinking okay cool wonder how long im waiting now. My status is still stuck in JB though, which is weird. I thought when you have your build sheet and sticker its supposed to be in KZ?

Happy Friday everyone! Here is a little "fun" reading.

Hahah i have a friend that had his Landy stuck with the incoming tide. Fortunately they got a tractor to get him out of there before too much damage

You know I’m really excited my Jeep is built. However, deciding not to go with the headliners may be a huge mistake for me....we just arrived back to Arizona after being in Italy for two years...man it’s hot...sure hope the aftermarket folks start producing for our unicorns (ditto for LEDs, should have put them on my order). I know, I know, be happy your March order is built...fingers crossed everyone’s earlier orders start moving,

 

[RepeatJeeper]

Also, there are now 10 2drs within 150 of Sierra Vista Arizona in transit...was only 2 a couple of weeks ago.

I couldn’t resist. I contacted Jeep Chat today and I’ve moved to D1 with and my JL is ‘theoretically’ scheduled for build the week of June 11!!!!!!! Wishes do come true!!!

thanks,

Im probably going to wait for Best Top since they're the ones making all the soft tops for the wranglers anyhow. I heard they were close on coming out with a few items for the 2 door but I'm not sure of the when.

 

[Affliction-101]

I also think that JTops makes a nice product. I’ve read on other forum threads that once they get a hold of a 2-door, they can proceed with the design. They only recently got their own 4-door and had to borrow a local customers JLU to design what they have now.

I actually got offered that from a well known suspension lift company, that would save them about 37-38K on buying a 2 door Rubicon and I'm actually considering it since its all free of charge.
