2 DOOR JL build/order discussions master thread

[IMBlu]

Soft top folded doesn't qualify as naked. Exposed, but not naked.

I'm seeing that I will have to run that way if I want no top. Still not even a bikini available, though to be fair we have only just begun to see 2 door deliveries.

Well, I’m kind of sorry I ordered a hard top. Saw a 2/door white jeep with the top folded, so beautiful! I will have to get me a soft top too! Hard top can be good for winter and long trips. Although honestly where I am winters are pretty mild.

Well i got a new one from the wrangler hotline today, When i called the girl said "your jeep will be at the dealer in two weeks" So i asked oh its in shipping? was told no. so its built and awaiting shipping ? No . I asked what was the status? D1 was the answer i got. I asked so its D1 but your sure it will be at the dealer in two weeks? " Yes give or take a day or two" More useless information from FCA customer service!

So sorry, Jeff, it just sucks!

I ordered these mirrors this morning from Quadratec and they are back ordered, expected to ship August 10th
My Jeep is still KZ but hopeful it will be here in the next week or so.

I relocated my JK mirrors to the A pillar years ago so when going doorless they where always there. The issue was/is that the passenger mirror is pretty much worthless with doors on. Looking forward to receiving these mirrors AND my JL

Ugh! I ignored the email from Quadratec - I assumed it was just a confirmation, but it is notice of backorder. Crap!

These look interesting: http://www.ruggedridge.com/trail-mirror-kit-round-pair-18-18-jeep-wrangler-jl-jlu.html

And these look... expensive: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/cmm-mounts-and-mirrors-for-doorless-days.8004/

I am now enjoying our Sport after having it for a couple of weeks. In fact I have not been looking at the forum for a while because I'm driving it every chance I get. I love having the top down or completely removed. Here in Southern Ontario we are having a heat wave they are saying the worst in years 35 deg C and humidity makes it feel 45 deg C. I feel like a pussy as I had to close it up and turn on AC today. I love this vehicle with one exception being fuel mileage. I find I'm getting about 13 L per 100 km average. I do realize " its a Jeep " . My wife's previous car was a Jetta 1.8 Turbo ( 6 L per 100 km ) and I drive a Ram EcoDiesel ( 10 L per 100 km )

I ordered the hardtop also...of course way back then I fully expected to be able to pick up a soft top for it way before now. Lol. Anyone wager a guess when we’ll be able to get our hands on one??

I'm glad I got soft top only. I"m sure the hard top is better in winter. My decision was based on the fact that I don't really have anywhere to store the hard top. To me, the JL looks awesome with top completely off rather than just folded.

Might be a record for the 866 number. 15 mins on hold, he goes to check puts me on hold immediately hangs up on me. After making a bad joke that my 6 23 to 27 eta to dealer might be 2019 ha ha. So I call back in, I'm at 50 mins on hold now, still waiting. And my wife says my tone is the problem

Window sticker just showed up, getting hyped!

Admit it, Clif, you’re addicted to us!!

Why yes I am. I'll hang in here for a while. I want to see those early orders filled.
The Nubies sound so much like we did back then. They gotta chill as their ride here
has just started. Be glad you didn't order DEC. or JAN. The ride in your new JL will
be oh so much better than the ride your on now.

If you miss the sunrise, you missed the best part of the day!

You got that right!

I have no idea why, but fortune is smiling on me today. Went from I last night, email saying I was cleared for shipping, and the latest check of jg shows KZ with my Jeep loaded on a train that departed 1140 this morning. Now showing a delivery estimate of the 11th to the 17th.

Whole process seems very random to me.

If you want to know when you've gone to far modifying your jeep reference this picture.

This idiot is asking 60000.00 for this abomination.

Can you remove the soft top without unbolting the entire thing?
