Glad some of you Willys buyers are moving along.

I ordered on 4/28 and confirmed on 4/29. It then went D1 in late July with ship date of 8/22 and that slipped to 9/11. Now my dealer says I went back to D status. I now have 136 days of frustration.

Apparently Jeep does not want to build the Willys XR.

Ouch. I'm at something like 78 days but never even made it to D1. Hopefully they make a huge batch of Willys XR's soon.

I ordered a 2 door Willy’s, got notice that it moved to Production on 9/9. Today it shows the delivery date as 9/28. Will be interesting to see how accurate it is!

What the heck man!! I'm over 80 days on my 2 door. I'm glad you are all seeing movement but darn I'm getting angrier at being passed over.

This may be a dumb question. Does anyone think once Jeep fixes the clutch issue with the 6spd's. They may offer the Rubicon or Willys with XR package and 6spd?

Ordered May 6th, delivered to Granger end of August, picked it up a week after Labor Day. White 4cyl turbo, auto, hard top and Alpine stereo ...didn't want to add too much fearful of "out of stock" with the options....and the looming UAW strike. Drove it 1800 miles home, If you're a Granger customer recommend Smokey D's BBQ for lunch, and visit movie site where they filmed "Field of Dreams" before you hit the highway. About 18.5 MPG avg. all the way home.

I ordered my Willy's XR on April 15th. The build date has been pushed back numerous times. I was finally told they are prioritizing Rubicon orders with the XR package first since they are the more expensive vehicle. I am still in D1 status.

I ordered my Willys in Earl with the Convenience Package and the Sky One Touch roof on 6/12. It was confirmed on 6/22 and it's still in confirmed. When I asked the dealer about it about 10 days ago, he finally told me on Thursday (before the strike started) that he was told that the reason for the delay was the strike. Apparently, I needed to clue him in to the fact that the strike hadn't even started. But this is the same clown that told me on 7/24, it was "in build and you should be getting it soon". Car dealers...smh. Has anyone ordered a Willys with the SOT and received it yet?

With Jeep anything is possible.

Probably not a dumb question but more than likely not going to happen. Hell yeah, Id rather spend $4k on a XR package instead of just $4k on a friggin auto tranny.

The reason I was asking is because Jeep has so many mistakes on their website that havent been fixed yet. For example it shows the Willys comes with 3:45 gears, says the XR package on the Willys gets high flares and performance brakes. The Willys already comes with the Rubicon high flares and I could be wrong. But I read somewhere (ill try to look it up again) that the Willys comes with the brakes. Here is a link from this forum. Its a Jeep flyer showing the standard features on each model , different wheels, tops etc. For example the sport shows X standard features. Then they list the Sport S and it lists the additional features the Sport S comes. When it Rubicon X comes up. The 4th line in the additional features shows Xtreme 35 inch tire group (only available in auto). The next line says Heated Front seats and steering wheel. Followed by Rock-Trac heavy duty full time 4wd transfer case. There is nothing saying its only for the auto. Where as the regular Rubicon comes with the part time 4wd transfer case whether you get the Xtreme package or not. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/advice-on-new-build-2024-rubicon-x.114094/

But, this tranny, isn’t any friggin tranny… In fact , is one of the smoothest tranny in the market
