Congrats! My order was confirmed July 11th for my Rubi X build…same as yours, anvil with 4.88’s. Hopefully it moves to D1 soon!
My order is scheduled to arrive at mark Dodge by Oct 2. I’m also in San Antonio. May be I’ll see you there!
I really hope so! Hard skipping out on several overland trips while waiting.
I feel like that's pretty normal. They usually drive them for a short while to do some quick tests and ensure things appear in order. I see a whole lot of 10s in photos.
They only have enough to pay each employee $500 a week for 11 weeks, if that. I can’t imagine living off that, so I’m sure they’ll want to settle with something reasonable .Get ready for a wait… Do they really need to practice picketing ?? ?
They will get back pay
That's encouraging! We ordered a Rubicon XR from him on August 11th, still in "C" status.
No break in needed. My experience with new vehicles is they are "broken in" the same way they are going to be driven throughout their useful life.
Excatly! I feel even if they get back pay, living off $500 a week , is a joke. Granted, I’m sure the cost of living may be cheaper, but theres no way. I don’t live paycheck to paycheck , but I know that’s not the case for everyone.
I agree, not too worried about the engine. More concerned about break-in for the gears in the axles, transmission, etc. Thanks for sharing your experience!
It's not just the Willy's. As far as I can tell it's anything with the larger tires...someone said their dealer said it was a lift package part shortage and someone else told me it was the tire/wheel causing the issues. I reached out to my salesguy this morning (he actually replied within an hour or so!) and he said he doesn't really know why, but they just aren't getting built nationwide. He basically said they are doing what they can because as dealers they need these vehicles. I can understand since there just aren't any on the lots right now (at least here). My dealer sold their last one last week and now they have none. Seems kind of crazy.
This is honestly getting ridiculous. My dealer nor Stellantis can tell me why this is taking so long. The so called "case specialists" do nothing and I'm left in the dark. Is the Willys just not getting the same attention or something? It's not even an XR so I have no clue what the hold up could be beyond a chip shortage or something. I know I'm not as far in C status as some of you here but I can't wait much longer. My current vehicle is falling apart and I need something with 4WD for the winter. With the almost certain strike coming up I'm sure I'm not going to see this thing until the end of the year at this point.
