Most recent update-From dealer this time:

Thanks for the email. I know you are anxious to receive your new Jeep.
It is currently on a rail-car on its way to Council Bluffs. It is scheduled to arrive in Council Bluffs late on March 11th. Once it gets there it is hard to say how long it will take for them to transport it to us. I would estimate 1-3 more weeks. Regardless we should have it here by the end of March. Assuming we get it by then and since we ordered it December 29th it will likely be a 3 month process from start to finish. I know this seems like a long time when you are looking forward to receiving it but due to COVID, shortage of materials etc. it is about the average time length.

I saw the email you sent regarding the extra incentive. I have not looked into yet but from what I saw you should receive the additional discount.

Thanks for your patience and I will update you when I have more information.

@Aonar Seems like a long time to take to get from rail yard to dealership! Maybe they’re actuallY pushing it by hand to get it the rest of the way!

Ordered 10/5/2020.

Nearly gave up waiting (twice).

I guess it's true, good things come to those who wait...

So I have to say JL full doors are MUCH easier to lift than JK doors. Changing these out was a piece of cake. The factory has done a terrific job packaging them. Paint match on my Sting Gray is perfect to my eye. My only issue is that the door strike on the passenger doors needs to be adjusted out nearly 1/4" and requires an odd three point bit. Looks Like a trip to the dealer is in order...

Are you sure the tool did not come in a kit somewhere within the JP?

Yes. This is not something we owner's are supposed to mess with, ergo the weird three point security bit.

I suspect the half doors are not installed on the vehicle prior to shipment, rest of the fit and finish looks great...

One difference is the half doors don't have the door check that hold the door open, more like my old JK with just a nylon strap. So it's a little tricky trying to get a shot of the doors open on a windy day :)

They look great, did they ship with standard mirors or power?
