I've built a database of December 2021's build sheets. It contains everything that you can find here: https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=1C4JJXSJ1NW100001 (VIN #1 for 2022, which was apparently never built).

Note that this database only includes builds for Wranglers that have build sheets and window stickers. It doesn't know anything beyond that (e.g. has it been shipped, etc.).

As of this point in time 19,500 December build sheets exist in the database. According to @dahacker there should be about 32,500 VINs during that month, so that's about 60% of "December's VINs" with build sheets. Note that I'm counting on @dahacker's delineation of December's VINs being 125501 to 158000. If that's inaccurate then please let me know.

Any thoughts on what details / stats you'd like to know? Things like what's up with the seemingly unusual 213 3.6 builds that have a GVWR over 6,100 lbs?

Is there a query that can be run to show what's in production for vehicles scheduled on June 24th? Wondering how many are being completed prior to the summer shut down week of July 25th.

We currently don't have a way of knowing when they're scheduled to be built.

i kinda figured, just was curious. Is there a current query on 3.6 Etorque Rubi's with XR? I'm trying to find out when it may be built as I have a Bronco that i ordered in 21 that i thought would never be built, and finally have a build week of 8/8.. it's a race at the moment.

I've bookmarked your query, but why is it a race? Hopefully you're buying the one that you want and not the one that arrives first.

Thanks, i'll be buying the one i wanted since HS (Jeep). I ordered the Bronco because it was different, and then when that seemed to be something that would not appear, I ordered the Jeep, which i've wanted for a very long time.

There might be an opportunity to make some coin by flipping the Bronco, but I'm not sure what all would be involved or if the math works out.

that's a lot of things i probably dont want to hassle with at this point. my brother said the same thing to me.

Hello, I was wondering if vehicles that pop up on edmunds search are in stock at dealer? I was just going though wrangler search near me on edmunds and my build popped up with a stock number and my vin. I don’t want to bug salesman. My only thinking Is that maybe it is there but they are waiting for Aug so it hits new month quotas? It shipped July 10th according to tracker. Orrrr maybe it just popped up because it’s in route.

Sorry, but I didn't have a chance to run this until today.

Um, unless I'm missing something, there's no new data here from the last set you ran which ended on 7/5 ?

That's OK. I'm travelling at the moment and just briefly looking in on the forums, and don't really have time to do a stats update right now anyway.

The big news I got from Rob Trachtman was that the news article we'd been using saying that the MY 22/23 switchover would happen during the 7/25 shutdown was incorrect, and they're going to keep building MY22s in August.

My experience is that if there's a picture of it then it's on the lot. If not then it's a vague promise.

My mistake. I reran it and didn't compare it to the last run.

There's a lot of people saying that production starts on the 11th. We'll see.

Thank you! No picture just says new arrival & call for details.

Dang, it IS rare!

Last query I promise. Same one, but instances of 4.88 gears, hardtop, LED light package, cold weather group?

Could I be a 1 of 1?!

There was a slowdown, but they're creating build sheets and building them again.

It definitely looks like there was an issue with the XR package for a while. There was a huge drop in build sheets.
