Two people were told on jeep chat last night that Mojito will be available today. Of course because it's jeep chat I'm very skeptical .. Can you confirm or deny it?

Someone from the FCA called me last night to inform me that Mojito was available and I was told by several dealers it was not today so I called back the FCA and talked to someone else who told me that they weren't sure why I was told that and it was not available. So. Dreams crushed. I ordered a Red instead.

If Jeep don't pick up their skirt and start taking care of their core enthusiasts there will soon by another "boxy,characterful,off road capable " truck to choose from and probably for a decent amount less, although it won't have Rubicon capability (probably) it will probably be enough to take a serious slice of the Wrangler's market if they do it right...

Hi dealer guy

Here is my question. I am ordering tomorrow they have taken the tan soft top off the build site. Do you know if that means they won’t be available this year?

IBut I see that black premium soft will be available in may? So when I order tomorrow will they be able to build it with black in the next 8-10 weeks?

No idea at all. We are all waiting for things that have already been loaded to appear so we can order them.

Hello Jeep Dealer Guy,

Can you please shed some light on the Punkin' and Nacho availability? Specifically, do we know when they are going to be building the Punkin Jeeps other than the few that have been released already?

Also, is Nacho now officially not an option for 2018 at all, or is it going to be late availability?

Thanks.

Yep, weird as hell. Can't order Nacho but there are like 1200 out in the wild. Punk'n and Ocean blue remain scarce. Hopefully they ramp these up!

Trying to place order for JL Rubicon. Two dealers have told me LED lights are currently not available to order as option - as of 3/16/2018. One dealer mentioned steel bumper group is also not available to order. Any idea when these would be available to order?

what dealers? Where ? sounds like bs to me

Question - I (attempted) to order a JL Rubicon at my dealer yesterday. The salesman said that there was an issue preventing him for selecting the LED Lighting Group....that it was "not available" as per the factory.

Any ideas?

@JLWF Dealer Guy
Seems to be a lot of questions around what is currently backordered, or causing a delay. For me, I think I have all of them... Punk’n, Steel Bumper group, LED group, and Dual Top group.

The delay is going to kill me if it goes too long as I sold my 2017 to the dealer outright already. I only have a set period to get its replacement or I lose out on the sales tax credits as if it was a trade. Not looking good.

Please note that Rubicon base is now up by 500, which is 40995 (from 40495)

Also, the destination charge is up too, at 1445 (from 1195)

@JLWF Dealer Guy

I have a question about failed inspection and making changes to order. I ordered 2/15 and Rubicon went into inspection March 1 where it still sits. I'm not sure if it will eventually pass or a new order issued. If I had to do this over I would make several changes, all added options. I am willing to accept the jeep as it is but if I'm starting from scratch shouldn't I be able to add some options?

If I cancel and reorder, the cost would be $500 which is my deposit? seems almost worth it to me to cancel if the only cost is 500.

hello I am in a heartbroken position here. have wanted an orange jeep for 30 years. finally in the financial stability to get one. ordered a jlu with all the bells n whistles on 2/28.
today i saw pics posted here of the punk'n jeeps.Heartbroken is an understatement.Its mostly red and commenters claim "not metallic at all" i now want to cancel my order and reorder when mojito is available.how can they make the color not even close to the renderings and chip boards at the auto shows? do u think i would lose my deposit if i do this. wow what a shock for me.

I've seen the one in NC and it's not mostly red. It's orange.
