Dealer said 6-8 weeks. Jeep said it’s built about 30 days after it’s ordered if all parts are available, plus shipping time. So 6-8 weeks makes sense.

Apparently they're not accepting any hard top orders at the moment (could just be limited to Sport). I'm assuming it's to catch up on a backlog of orders or to prioritize soft tops at the moment.
anyone know how the dual top option is being treated under this?

I ordered mine on Jan. 25th. Dealer emailed today that it’s shipping on Feb 13th. She said about 2 weeks after ship date they should have it .
Super excited!!!
This is almost as unlikely as can possibly be. More power to you if you get it in less than a month, but no chance.

Same exact for me, ordered 1/25, order placed by dealer 1/26, currently in their system ESD is 2/13. I'm only a few hours from Toledo, think my dealer gets them all direct on transport, no train, so would only be a few days if that's the case. Now I did Jeep chat yesterday with my VIN, was told I'm in D1 status, so no idea if I might get lucky and the 13th is actually close to accurate.

I ordered dual top, no issues
Rubicon
Same, ordered dual top, and I see other local dealers to me have just started receiving Rubicons with the dual top group. In fact I checked one last night, noticed the top was not installed along the back as it was in my JKU, looked like lots of boxes instead.

Yea I heard the soft top came in a big box. There’s a thread somewhere on here on how to assemble.

I wonder how they choose which ones get made first? Options packages, transmission choice, color? Mine's a dual top rubicon ordered the same day and I'm in a second week of all the parts have been gathered your build should start soon.

I just ordered JL and understand that it depends on a lot of factors. If you get the color matching top and fender flares or the steel bumper group, for example, it requires extra stops in the body shop. And color makes a difference. And small things like the all-weather mats or headliner can impact things. All together they are optimizing for the most number of vehicles output per day, not optimizing for any single vehicle nor operating on a first-come-first-serve basis. So it could be that builds that require extra stops (like the Rubicon loaded) counter intuitively go quicker because they are trying to keep those extra stops fully utilized.

Ordered on 1/29.

D1 Status on 2/2 (all parts avail to build). Estimated Ship Date: 2/14.

Building started today, 2/13 (2 wks after ordering)

I'm guessing it takes 2 wks to build and another 2 wks for delivery to AR.

6wks total. What is everyone else seeing?
