Anybody around for more than 147 days in “C”?
Last post for me for a couple weeks. Looks like maybe a New Year’s event with my Sarge 392 XR…hopefully 2023! ?

Help! What the hell is this? Not to rub it in, but I picked up my 2023 this weekend. This bracket appears to be nonfunctional and a hang-up risk, thought it could be something used in transport that should have been removed. It's only on the passenger side. Any ideas?

Yes, I'm not too thrilled about this. At first view, I thought I'll just remove those bolts. After watching the video there are 2 bolts that don't have enough clearance. Don't really feel like taking a Sawzall to it. I guess I'll see how much it bugs me after a few weeks.

I saw someone posted that the ship date the dealer gives you after you get scheduled is actually the production date.
Is there a chance it might actually be the ship date? I know he seemed pretty confident when he called that it would ship out Jan 4th but everything is still so unknown

also, does anyone know where I can get good halo RGB/multicolor headlights that’s are at least 6k lumen ?

been on here for almost 6 months as far as the word "ship" date its always been production date. once it enters production theres an arrival date you can see usually on the trackers, but it has to enter production first. my ship "build" date is on the 3rd so likely getting built around the same time as yours.

A lot hasn’t happened for ME in the last 5 weeks! ?????

I get it, dude. I ordered the same day as you. The wait has been horrible.

At least you didn't get teased with a build date like I did, only for it to ripped away a couple of weeks later...rendering my trackers useless until I actually go into production.

I’m guessing in normal times it was the ship date, they build it in one day and then ship it out of the factory by truck the same day- of course it still probably went to a yard where it took a few days to get on another truck or a train.
now we aren’t in normal times and there aren’t enough truckers, or workers, and trains may or may not go on strike, etc and things get backed up so now there is a delay between production and ship.
FWIW my “ship date” was 12/5. I actually went in to production on 12/1. If I didn’t go to JB I may have actually shipped on 12/5, but of course I’m still “in production” 3 weeks later.

If I understand correctly, that bracket is a crash bar to prevent the right wheel to be pushed into the cab / footwell in a collision.

That makes sense, but why wouldn't it be on the driver side too?

 

[Swisskidd]

Do you know why it's just on one side?

As a wild guess; the steering system (steering box/column/pitman arm etc) act as a brace on the driver side)
It would be interesting to see if the RHD Wranglers have the brace on the left.

similar timing! just got the message and pic from the dealer this morning.. now the logistics of sending my trade to OK. from AZ. (didn't want the hassle of selling it myself and people wanting to trade a 12 pack and free lawn care for a year etc. ?) congrats!!

Beautiful Jeep!!! Congrats! Let’s go Team 392!!!

I'd be curious about that too, the frame doesn't have holes for it on the left side. Was this new for 2023, never noticed it before?

Merry Christmas!
Enjoy the ride…

Thank you! Also, you can see I obviously have the XR wheels with fewer bolts. While I thought they looked bad in pictures, I think they look fine in person…. It’s all subjective. Good luck everyone! Hope you all enjoy your holidays!

Excellent! Thank you for posting. Was reading earlier parts of that thread but couldn’t find it again.
