The Rubicon 392 I got from the dealer ended up having hail damage. They didn't disclose anything during the sale or when I flew in to pick it up, noticed it halfway back. Careful everyone.

Well, sad to see the reliable JK go but it was time for the entire family to enjoy the open road in comfort (4 half doors ?)…
Great experience from ordering to purchasing the vehicle at our south-central Kentucky dealership.
Order Confirmed 1-14-23
Scheduled 1-27-23
In Production 5-5-23
Built 6-14-23
Shipped & Arrived Some time Last week
No mentioning of a stop sale, actually no-one at the dealership really knew there was a recall on the manual transmission ? since all the Wranglers sold here are automatics.
I personally have no other JL manual transmission experience, but compared to my now former JK the clutch travel on the JL is slightly shorter in my opinion and the engagement of the clutch itself happens slightly later when bringing back the pedal (I managed to only once stall the vehicle ?)…otherwise the Jeep drove great, although I was slightly pushed forward due to the boxes for the dual door group occupying 2/3 of the vehicle (No idea if my rear view mirror works or if there are back seats in the Jeep ?).
There you have it, 2023 MT Wrangler purchased after the recall and looking forward to smooth driving ahead. Driving it to work tonight ?? 124 miles…
Home Sweet Home…
What all the fuss was about…
2/3 of the Jeep has yet to be seen…?
I wish everyone all the best & looking forward reading your delivery story…

So many questions! I will start with this one...You bypassed the shipping delayed (due to possible storm damage) and still ended up with a hail damaged jeep?

right. I ordered one in January, that is still stuck with no ETA. Dealership I ordered with wasn’t willing to work with me and figure something out so I found one in another state that was actually a little better spec so I bought that one and flew in to pick it up.
They rushed me through the dealership when I picked up. Less than 5 minutes and looking back at it now they were probably trying to distract me when I was walking around it. Didn’t even sign paperwork or check my ID when I picked up.
