Yeah JG can lag behind by a few days. They showed me going D1 on 6/2, but site did not reflect this until the 4th or 5th
my theory here is that milous doesn't want to post certain status updates as they just end up frustrating some. for instance, 3uph0rIk and jball went right to truck pickup yard exit (on truck to dealer), while mine was in truck load complete status as of 6/25 but didn't reflect that until i asked directly and then the status popped today 6/28 on the 5 pm update, 3 days after.

almost all toledo yards go from load complete to pickup yard exit in the same day. most other locations do within a day or 2. found 1 in utah that took 9 days, otherwise the long was 3,4 days.

Note to others.. one consideration about which dealer to go with might be where the jeep will be delivered and what the volume in that area is, if you are worried about delivery times. I was ahead of jball and 3uph, but they picked up in spokane wa, and san francisco and got unloaded from train and loaded to truck and to dealer and leapfrogged right past me.

tho my deming from ABQ location is more remote, still troublesome that my 1445 destination and delivery charge doesn't get me better service than the 8 days it's been since train unload and still haven't left the yard. Below is an example of a more typical for these two lines


Truck Load Complete 05/14/18 08:15:00 AM ANNACIS ISLAND, BC
Truck Pick-Up / Yard Exit 05/14/18 11:56:00 PM ANNACIS ISLAND, BC (on truck to dealer)

Speaking tracking and how cruddy it is, had a crazy coversation with a co-worker today. I was talking about getting a Jeep and how the tracking stinks, he says he just got a Lexus and had about the same experience. Actually worse as the only thing he heard was when it arrived in port and when it got to dealer.

Here’s where it gets crazy. He takes me out to see his new car and WOW it is frickin amazing. He got a Lexus lc500 Black Panther edition. I know nothing about Lexus but this thing looked amazing. Looked up on net, and see the lc500 starts around 92k, and this Black Panther is limited so god knows how much it costs.

And for all the money he spent all he got was in port and arrive at dealer.

No idea. It’s weird. Why would Jeep limit a dealership’s orders? Make that money.
Yes that does not make sense. My dealer sits on 14 acres and moves alot of
Chrysler cars, trucks and jeeps in N.E. Ohio. My salesman told me they can
order 6 Wranglers at a time but only 2 of them can be Rubicons.

Well, I got initiated with the top down at the beach by a bird! Thank God it hit the back driver's side frame and down the outside. Easy clean up. It did spur me into buying red towels to lay on the black leather seats when the top is down.??

NO, the windows don't pop out on a hardtop.

Yes over driver and passenger. Pics posted way back last week or so.

This is hard top not windows.

I’m talking the sides of the hard top like they show for the new auto soft top
Like the side glass each side window pops out.

No, not the 3 piece freedom top, only on the $4000 power soft top.

I'm still in "D" status after 14 days

what an outrage! ;)
Wouldn’t pay any attention to anything FCA or the dealer said. 3 days ago FCA told me my build was delayed and my dealer had no clue about where my Jeep was in the process. Today I was notified it’s a state away and I’m expecting to pickup in the next few days. It’s been a long clusterfk of misinformation but it’s almost over.
