My wife got me a custom license plate for my AEV JL370 for our anniversary. RATBERT, of course! I thought that it was pretty damn cool of her.

We both learned that your vehicle doesn't actually have to be built to get a custom plate. That was surprising. Just need a VIN.

@Ratbert can you run this build please? Thank you!

Curious how many 'poverty pack' Wranglers have been built? These are manual transmissions with manual windows and locks that are standard on Sport and Willys Sport models. Can you distinguish between 2 and 4 door?

Here's the cheapest Wrangler so far:

https://www.jeep.com/hostd/windowsticker/getWindowStickerPdf.do?vin=1C4GJXAG5NW124415

And yes, I can differentiate between 2 and 4 doors.

Here's what you're calling the "poverty pack". Others might call that the "start with a clean slate" or "build your own" pack:

Yeahhhh…I ordered prior to learning about JB hell.

I mean, they ARE building Rubi diesels right?

Mine was supposedly built on May 17th, so there's some evidence that they're claiming that they're being built.

In theory it made its way to Michigan for the next steps, but I'm in the process of trying to figure out that process. Mine's being built by AEV so it's very much an anomaly.

All I can say is that AEV ecodiesel will be a beast.

It does look like they are cranking them out…

I wonder how many Jeeps AEV builds. I've only heard from one other person that had one built and his was done after the initial purchase. I would have expected to hear about more since it seems like the enthusiasts gather here.

I’ll say this much, I was a hardcore XJ owner for years and I remember seeing AEV builds and thinking, “Damn…”

I doubt they made it this far without having a tangible product. It’ll be a beast no doubt.

I know you pulled info on jeep colors not too long ago. I haven't seen anyone posting about Firecracker Red. I'm wondering if they wait for large groups of certain colors to do all at the same time?
I've also been looking at new inventory from the Jeep site for Rubicon 4xe, and have yet to see a red one within 250 miles of my location.

MZ77 · Jun 6, 2022

Hey Ratbert & soon to be fellow jeepers!
I'm very new to the jeep world, also my 1st post. This ordering system is tough to understand. Placed an order on 3/28/22. Have had little movement...got the vin and in D1 status for some time. Delivery date from my dealer is 6/19. Is the delivery date actually the build date? Also, do you expect the 22's to move on in the building process faster now that the 23's are coming soon?
This is certainly not what I expected when ordering, but I feel like I will have just what I want when it does come in. Self retirement gift!!

CJ SCION · Jun 6, 2022

@Ratbert Good to hear your diesel is built and headed to AEV.

At this point I am assuming you can determine how many 2022 Wranglers have vins and yet to receive window stickers. Unless there are orders being accepted for 2022 vehicles, it should be a quickly dwindling pool.

Vito92 · Jun 7, 2022

what does it mean if i put in my info into crypto and it says year -1 and doors -1 lol

I kept trying to figure out what was wrong, then I finally realized that when I refactored everything to start populating 2023s (and supporting other FCA products) on the extract side that I neglected to point the analysis side to the new database. Damn. Good catch!
