Based on that brief analysis, my JLU Sport S with a 6 speed is somewhat of a unicorn?

Yep, you are a true two percent elitist snob.

Another question that I've been wondering about, what's the percent of total Wranglers that are Rubicons vs. everything else? This is interesting....

edit: Answered in Post #6 above. 25% are Rubicons, as those are the only Jeeps that get a 4:1 T-Case. Cool.

December '21 colors. I didn't realize that black was so common.

Top 3 states by a decent margin: CA, TX, and FL.

From the bottom up: WY, VT, SD, ND, AK, MT.

There are a crapload of Jeeps in CO, but we're 19th.

Interesting tidbit I heard from a guy I met once that works in the paint shop in Toledo: The factory facility can only support 10 different colors at a time, so that's why they cycle through so many colors during a given model year. He also confirmed that black is the most common color, and that at times they have run two (out of the ten) paint machines with black just to keep up with the demand. He also said that white and red are the other two most popular colors.

Woohoo! I'm a member of the 2% club too!

Here's another request for data: What's the take rate on the 4.88 Gears option? That's only available with the manual transmission and wasn't even listed on the Jeep website as an option until a couple weeks ago. You almost had to ask for that separately to get it.

I also wonder how many Jeeps get built with the dual doors option, I've never seen that at any dealership and it's rare to hear about someone mentioning that on this board.

I love me some unicorns...

Right there with you...except mine is a JLU Sport Altitude

Any thoughts on what Russian Manufacturer Body Plate is? It doesn't say plating, so it's apparently a single plate.

I do know the dealer I ordered from in GJ orders a bunch for the Jeep rental places in Ouray.

Remember that these are December's build sheets:

Part	Count	Percent
3.45 Overall Top Gear Ratio	12834	58
4.10 Rear Axle Ratio	5095	23
3.73 Rear Axle Ratio	3882	17
4.56 Rear Axle Ratio	442	2
4.88 Rear Axle Ratio	10	0

Dual Door Group w/ Premium Uppers	160	1
Dual Door Group w/ Base Uppers	13	0

This "option" is a little disturbing: Remote Monitoring System-China

 

[Powelligator]

I don't like that either. Do all orders have that? Or do orders just shipping to china get that? Wranglers out of Toledo go all over the world.

Just those built for China. It'd be incredibly disturbing if it was global!

I'm a little surprised at how many builds have some form of tracking device on them.

 

[GatorWrangler]

Interesting. Nice work.

I'm beginning to wonder if Leather is my main culprit holding me back. (still in D with no build sheet, 12/18/21 JLUR XR order)
Any stats on interior leather vs cloth and the colors from your December build sheets?

Also, the XR percentages seemed pretty low in general in the earlier post.
