Not yet. Haven’t really followed up much with the dealership I’ve been busy shopping for a refinance of my mortgage. So I can afford the Jeep

I'm still waiting on an update to my date. Was originally told 8/14, but that's in two days! My dealer checks for updates daily so that's nice. It's soooo hard waiting. I'm excited to see some of you getting progress on yours.

Many thanks for responses/feedback. UPDATE - Dealer got me the VON today, but did not have VIN.
I went to Jeep Chat and provided the VON. I was given the VIN and told all the materials were assembled with the build process starting very soon. I asked for EST build/ship dates, and was told, none available. To recap, on 8/3, the EST ship date was 8/13, so makes sense no longer available as things have shifted/changed this past week with production kicking up a notch, as people have previously posted info regarding delays.
The estimated ship date is the estimated build date. In the perfect world build and ship would be the same day but they aren't. Ship date can be 1 to 30 days after build starts.

Anyone know 100% if the 2021's have the new steering box replacement from this TSB 08-074-20 JL steering issue? From what I've read on the forums here, parts will not be available until mid September.

Good question since mine is being built this month. Who even has an idea of when parts are available at the factory? Do you have a thread that points to it definitively? Last I heard, this was hearsay.

I don't know squat, but if there is a TSB out, I suspect that 2021s will have the new parts. It would be a waste for them to be currently installing the old steering box. It would seem that the first thing a manufacturer would do is stop the bleeding.

Agree 100%. First thing they would do is to begin incorporating the new steering box on existing production and then make the parts available for TSB work.

Previous Post was Order Date 7/16/20
As it is now 8/13/20: D1 Confirmed so it's ready to be built, at least better than D!
Transcript might help others as I got around some Code talk. Gateline = D1 - Firm = D(Parts in a corner)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me: Is it Gateline Scheduled? or just Firm Schedule? (Not discussing codes, just descriptions)
Amber: This stage is considered Gate line schedule
Me: Excellent. Thank for your Help Amber, have a great day!
Amber: You're very welcome, Nicholas! have a great rest if your day!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Typo on Amber's part also leads me to believe these are real people :)

Dealer sent me my updated order sheet this afternoon showing Status = "Unit is pending final inspection". I was surprised and did not expect the update. Estimated shipping is 8/14 at 1:59AM, which, is strangely so specific, yet most likely irrelevant in lieu of the QA process possibly taking days-to-weeks to resolve. But, QA-away because I'm all about getting it right the first time and having no problems/recalls. Measure twice, cut once.

Once into shipping (not a Jeep function but railroad and truck companies) the Transit Logistics Systems are more accurate. Railroad gives more data because it passes more check points then a direct to dealer truck transport. Usually trucks are used within 250 miles of the factory so don't know where you ordered it from could be either.

Ask your dealer if they have a transport logistics system like Rubicon VLS. As how it is scheduled to be shipped to the dealer - full truck route or rail then truck.

You are right that estimated time/date out the factory door is made so transit can make some plans. But they are subject to change based on delays getting out the door. Plus they don't instantly get on a truck/train. There are several large parking lots neart he factory full of Wranglers waiting for their ride.

My dealer just called. My jeep is built and shipped to storage. The updated shipping date to the dealer is 8/28. He was confused why it went to storage, thought maybe they were waiting to release the 2021s? Anyway...it's almost here!
