Some of you guys are completely losing your shit.

Here’s what I know, some based on salesman input and some based the videos of Jeeps being built.

They run the Jeeps in batches based on color. Otherwise they would have to change the paint after every vehicle and that means cleaning the guns as well.

They run the Jeeps in batches based on 2 door versus 4 door. 4 door being the most popular option, the 2 doors are run less frequently.

They may run the Jeeps based on model. This would eliminate an error in supply of model specific components. This would also include models with the XR package. Having a Sahara with one XR tire/wheel wouldn’t work and stopping the line for a supply issue won’t work either.

That brings me to the final one. They run the Jeeps based on material/parts supply. If they are missing a component to finish a Jeep, then that Jeep won’t get scheduled to run until they have it.

That’s the best I have as far as scheduling logic with Jeep production. Yes, mine is built and my specs are in my signature. Sting-Gray is a popular color so that probably played to my benefit.

The problem isn’t the process, its the effects. Let people be frustrated if their experience is different than yours. Especially when you had a 48 hr order-to-scheduled wait period. It is true, you didn't know that bit until weeks later. But pissing on the mob of angry peasants from your ivory tower isn't going to make them feel any less angry, your majesty.?

Ahh, I'm just joking, your highness. Congrats on your progress

Has anyone seen any reigns scheduled to be built yet??
Just talked to my dealer and it's estimated for 9/26 Production.

They run all different trims through assembly line at the same time, including colors. Most add-ons are done after assembly not during such as XR etc.

Update from today: I called my dealer (Graven Chrysler Jeep Ram) to see if they participate in FCA Affiliate Rewards pricing (1% below invoice) and they do. Heck to the yeah! I just enrolled in Tread Lightly $100 membership to take advantage of that Jeep affiliate pricing and added the hinge gate reinforcement to my build (it has to be a dealer installed option because my order can no longer be changed), which brings me to my next point. The Jeep tracker is not up-to-date because my dealership is showing my Willys to be in "D" status when the tracker says I'm just in "Order Confirmed" status. I forgot to ask him for the schedule date so I'm just waiting for the tracker to update. I don't want to keep bothering him when I just broke the news that they wouldn't be making as much money from my sale. All in all, it's been a fabulous day.

Do you have any links to videos which show this? I'm actually a bit surprised because, to be honest, every JL production video I've seen is almost exactly the opposite of everything you just said. So I'm a bit confused.
Agree. The last video I saw that was posted here had a red coming off the paint line right after a white.....

I reached out to them yesterday and still no movement and so assuming our jeeps are shipping together September 8th isn’t likely. My delivery window is the 8th-22nd.
They told me my window was 9/12-9/26.

The Tread Lightly discount is through FCA Jeep's parent company. The discount is taken off the dealer invoice. The dealer doesn't lose money as far as profit from the sale. The overall price is lower but their profit is the same. At least that is my understanding.

Hey man, either way it works out better for me and my pocketbook (which is saving my behind from my wife, lol).
