I apologize if I missed an explanation somewhere, but what is this "change" for?

Sometimes you never find out what some changes were. The tracker shows that I had 10 changes. But the current and previous status do not show anywhere near that many changes. NDRugby said it was background stuff. Maybe the codes at the bottom of the Jeep Tracker app. You might take a snapshot of the "other codes" at the bottom and see if they change when the tracker shows a change...

Thank you for the explanation. I wasn’t sure if it meant there was some type of holdup. At this point I expect to be in C past 100 days like everyone else on here.

No build sheet or Window Sticker yet...
I have a similar build as yours (manual Reign Rubicon) and supposed to go into production today as well. Hopefully we did. And the build sheets will populate tomorrow! Fingers crossed.

picked up my 2 dr, 6 spd Willys in Reign last week. Ordered early July, so about 4.5 months from order to delivery.

Jeep Wrangler
I chat with someone fairly high up in the Wrangler product line at Jeep on a somewhat regular basis (either directly, or through mutual friends' social media posts). I occasionally ask him questions that come up on the forums and, for questions he can or is able to answer, he provides me insight / answers. He has told me that they can only paint 11 colors at any one time...

Based on what he has told me, this is my understanding of the process with regards to paint...

Because the factory only is able to paint a certain number of colors at any one time. There are colors that they always paint (Black, White, Silver... and normally Red and some shade of blue, which in the JL's case is Hydro Blue... for most of the JL's lifecycle they've also painted Sarge Green, Sting Gray, and Granite Crystal).

For colors that they do not paint regularly (like Punk'n, Earl, Reign, High Velocity, Gobi, Hella Yella, Snazzberry, Gecko, Mojito, Ocean Blue, Chief, Bikini, etc.), they rotate them in and out.

Taking paints in and out of the production process isn't necessarily complex, but it does take additional time (and if the timing is wrong, leads to material waste). Right now, there is such a backlog of orders they need to keep the production moving to get through that backlog. There are orders out there, if you look through this thread, that have been in confirmed status from anywhere between 90 and 160+ days which were all made prior to Punk'n being re-released, and those orders are in the following colors...
  1. Black
  2. White
  3. Silver
  4. Red
  5. Hydro Blue
  6. Sting Gray
  7. Sarge Green
  8. Granite Crystal
  9. High Velocity
  10. Earl
  11. Reign
Reign was called a "limited edition" color, so once all of the Reign Jeep bodies are sprayed, they will likely flip the paint guns spraying Reign over to Punk'n.

Now, I'm sure some Punk'n Jeep will go into production and prove me wrong, but this is how it was explained to me by someone that would be "in the know."
That does make sense! My dealer did say something about hoping for the fact that earl seems to be a hit, so hopefully they keep the rotation going and we ordered right as the rotation was switching to earl.
Someone wants to buy my car but I’m trying to hold out as long as I can. Was hoping for the original quote from my dealer of 6-12 weeks. Who knows though. Thank you again ?? hopefully there’s some hope in store for us. Any inputon the reason as to why all of sudden me and a few others are receiving these sales codes? I keep getting emails from jeep tracker. First code 573, and second was 4NS like a few others. If you have any thought on that, let me knowwww
