Not only what you said, but as I understood it, the 392s with XR package need to go to the Jeep custom shop to be finished.I've always assumed the manufacturer performed a test drive immediately after assembly. I know they are driven off the assembly line to the staging area. I couldn't imagine building a vehicle and not making sure it operated properly before shipping it.
Enjoy your new ride. It looks great.
I am a bit ticked off. After waiting a total of over 5 months, the dealer told me they cannot sell a new vehicle until it's been on the lot for two days. Additionally, they claim Chrysler has to have a five mile test drive by a mechanic for every new vehicle. They are doing nothing to it except taking it out of shipping mode. The rest of the prep I am performing myself. Anyone know when these odd rules took effect or if it's even true? Thanks
Sounds like dealer BS to me. Rairdon's in WA State pulled the same crap with me. Used my build (one of the first JLR's in March 2018) to show & sell. Even put it on the show room floor. They said they could get much more than I was paying. I should have sued. Good Luck

You list a 2018 JLUR in your Vehicle(s) data. However, your post, as typed, strongly implies that a dealer also sold a 2018 JLR that you ordered. Can you clarify?Used my build (one of the first JLR's in March 2018) to show & sell. Even put it on the show room floor. They said they could get much more than I was paying. I should have sued.
Congrats. VERY sharp looking jeepDecent progress today. I went immediately to work on the 392 this morning, detailed the interior first. Next was a thorough wash and dry. Lastly, I clay barred the entire vehicle except the center of the hardtop, which I'll hopefully complete tomorrow. The clay bar job takes time and allows one to visually spot any defects in the paint and glass. Also had just enough time to load my firefighting gear and some other items into the back (after laying down my usual floor protector.
I ordered an 18 JLUR and 18 JLR ASAP they were pretty hot stuff at the time. The magazines and UTUBE had us lathered up good. They promised to keep both in the back away from the drooler's and call me immediately as I even wanted to see them come off the truck. The JLUR came in first and was delivered to me as expected. Weeks later I went by and they had my JLR sitting outside the show room doors, all cleaned up and looking ready to deliver. They said it still had to go thru the mechanical PDI they would call when ready. Next day I went over and they had it inside on the showroom floor. That's when the SHIT hit the fan. I had previously purchased 2 Rams and the 18 JLUR from them and they didn't care. Again, I should have sued. The service dept. of Rairdon's in Monroe treated me OK but the rest of Rairdon's of Washington State sucks big time and I am a good warning I hope they go bankrupt. Sorry, I know I'm supposed to forgive but that's real hard.You list a 2018 JLUR in your Vehicle(s) data.

Just curious to know if Rairdon really had the chutzpah to pull that crap.
It is the right thing to do....forgive. However, you won't forget!!I ordered an 18 JLUR and 18 JLR ASAP they were pretty hot stuff at the time. The magazines and UTUBE had us lathered up good.
