Hmmmm that’s promising, if you saw actual invoices. The plot thickens!
I'd wager good money those are JLU invoices. My understanding is that FCA can't invoice dealers until a vehicle is built and released for shipping and 2drs are not in production.

Confirmed with FCA Executive that production will start April 9th.
Did they happen to share any other tidbits of information? :fingerscrossed:

@JeepCares, can you confirm or deny this?
Hello Gandersonsays,
Can confirm-our most recent update was that the 2 door was planned to go into production the beginning of April. However, this date is tentative and has been changing a lot recently. We were waiting to have a more firm date and solid information to update everyone on.

So, I ordered a 2 door hardtop JL the day after Thanksgiving last year. Most likely, I'll take delivery in the middle of the model year at this point. Has anyone heard of any updates or modifications they are throwing in the production mid-year for all the loyal, patient, jeep buyers? Or any grades they have as they are close to the 19 model year?

No other specifics. Only that the delay was due to material restrictions.

Thanks Julie,

Any indication as to whether the rumor about 2dr production starting with the 2.0L is true?

So I just got my first opportunity to sit in a brand spanking new 2018 black JLU Rubicon and I don't fit!!!!! It just is not anywhere as roomy as Ole Yeller so I told Patrick (Sales Manager) to cancel my 2 door Rubicon order. Guess I'll be buying something else...LOL!

I find it hard to believe that. I don't even see the 4cyl. turbo as an option on Jeep's website, and if it were more people would be going with the V6. I too am anxiously waiting on a Rubi.
You’re correct; there is no selectibility on the Jeep builder site. They don’t even show the option for the 2.0 even when you select the auto tranny.

The attached JL production timeline schedule states “* The following chart is not official and has been created by JLWF to illustrate our info.”.



https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...jl-2-0l-delay-powertop-diesel-dates-etc.1341/

How did this timeline come about? Supposedly it came from FCA, but by who? Why would this posted timeline be any more valid then all of the other incorrect, vague and untrue data we’ve received all along?

I believe it said that the 2.0 JL will be an export.
