Yea no pro rate in Franklin County, its whatever you own Jan 1st you pay the whole year. Buy it Jan 2nd and you dont have to pay at all that year.

Holy cow, I would love that.

I also ordered my manual 3.6 JLUR on 9/24. Now at day 67 in confirmed status. Dealer said it could take up to 18 weeks to be delivered. By my math that puts it at the end of January worst case. I ordered it fully loaded with a sunrider for hard too. Fingers crossed that doesn’t hold it up too much longer.

My Sport 2D 3.6 MT was scheduled after 25 days being confirmed. My option list is very short - I tend to believe it is other option selections that can stall the build process just as well. Not just the 3.6 Manual Gearbox

I hit one month in E as of yesterday. I didn't order any safety groups, I'm wondering if the half doors are the big holdup in getting it finished.

@NDRugby Any estimate from your stats that would say how long after new my "ship" date does your tracker pick up production, if it actually goes into Production? I know the official Jeep tracker is behind. After 101 days in D1 my latest "ship" date is 12/2. Had "ship" dates of 9/29 and 10/2 but those never panned out. If it goes into Production on 12/2 does your tracker pick it up on 12/2, 12/3 or other???

I'm in Virginia (likely different county) and they prorate it based upon month so there's no savings unless you saying to save that one month? or your county looks at the tax year as a whole? Anyways, Stafford, they get you regardless.

There are only a couple counties in VA that don't prorate. Thankfully, I live in one of them. The drawback is because I live in a town and not a city I get to pay county taxes and town taxes

It would be interesting to see the build process of a Jeep with dual door group. For optimum color matching, the (full) doors are painted while attached to the body. Once queued for the body to get trimmed out, the doors are removed and go their separate way to get the internals installed. They get re-attached after the body is mated to the chassis.
Are the half doors painted along side the body, or are they done at a separate area, to keep the pace of the work flow (?) Are the half doors fitted to the body in a similar manner as the full doors; prior to the paint process? Haven't found a video showing a build with dual doors. But yes, I’d assume that option is quite demanding to build.

Welcome! I suggest to stock up on popcorn as the wait time can drag itself out, depending on order configuration and available supplies.
I’m a fan of StingGray - nice build!

Did you order Earl? What's the build/ship date?

Yes, Earl. Haven’t inquired of build/ship date so far. It wasn’t available when it moved to D1. Others have reported that the build/ship date gets posted later. Haven’t pestered my dealer yet.

Good choice! Check with dealer. They should have it! Mine got build one day ahead of build/ship date!

That's a great thought, and I honestly don't know. I would also love to hear if anyone else has insight on the process. I just know that if I didn't include them in my order now I probably would never have them, and have never seen a new jeep on the dealer lot with both sets available for sale. Seems like you have to order them or buy them off someone second hand.

FINALLY!!!! Dealership emailed a picture just now. Hopefully can get it tonight and finally start enjoying it!! Not sure I would have ever gotten it if they hadn't engaged at higher echelons.

Sweet!!!! Good looking 392!
