[brandofamily]

Ordered a new JLUR today. For anyone who recently ordered; what was your wait time from order to delivery to dealership?

Ordered 12-4
Arrived at the dealer 2-4

But it's a crap shoot and can vary widely based on options.

This thread would be a good place to check out

When I ordered reportedly the big hold up was OOS all weather mats. Ridiculous, in such instances of one option holding up the build why don’t they contact the buyer and ask if they want to remove or change it ?

Ordered 11/10/25, picked up 1/22/26.

It failed its first inspection and had to have the dash rebuilt while at the factory. Also it probably sat around half-built over the holidays.

My guess is money. So much money has been wasted chasing pennies and making everything efficient and just in time, that it cost to many pennies to change and move inventory. That coupled with most ERP systems seem to make it a huge hassle to move and change allocations. But I also think everything is a penny chasing conspiracy when it comes to big companies manufacturing things.

The dealer can’t change it after a point even if you know. XR announced as mine was about to go into build, couldn’t be added. The dealer offered to re order and sell mine, but there had been the first price increase since ordering, and a couple other reasons I decided not to start the already 4 month wait again.

“XR” ?? Can you explain what that is?
Thanks

XR pkg, now called the 35” *tire pkg. Essentially 35’s, 8” beadlock capable (instead of 7.5”), 4.56’s, flare extensions, spare relocation for 392’s. The Willys also got standard on 392’s 1 1/2” lift, iron knuckles, highline flares, I think D-44’s and upgrade shocks …. a long list for the Willys… for the same $4K price.
I got the 35’s, 4.56’s, flare extensions, relocation for about the same price including selling the 33’s (gave away for $100 apiece), and the price increase difference. Wheels were extra. Had I waited until tires were needed anyway it could have been closer to a wash.
*wheel correction

Thanks. I added the XTREME 35” Tire Package on my build. Didn’t know the code.
