Hiiii!!! Long time lurker, new member.

Im Heather, from Nebraska, and I ordered a pretty new JLUR a couple weeks ago, and was a little peeved when the dealer said it would be 6 months until it came in. Popped on here yesterday and saw folks were getting theres after only a few weeks and questioned the dealership. Needless to say, my Jeep is currently in KZ status, and Im now anxiously waiting for the call saying its here!! My husband is now irritated that I've got a nice long list of mods just waiting to be bought and installed.

Its nice to be here! And I love seeing what all yall have done to your babies so far!

Hi Heather - where in Nebraska are you and what color did you order? I'm in Lincoln and mine is a 2 door black Rubicon.

Back in Oct, Nov, Dec it was taking 3 to 4 months to get them. There was a big backlog of orders but they have caught up now. Hopefully you'll get a train out from the factory without much wait. If you ordered from a Lincoln or Omaha dealer the rail drop for our cars is in Council Bluff. Then usually the trucks take them out in order of arrival.

Hello from Orlando. New to Jeep and forum. Bought a new 2018 Sahara JL. Truly amazed at all the endless possibilities seen here. Obviously just the beginning.

Hi!! Im over in Bellevue, near the air force base. Luckily, not under water.

I ordered a black 4 door. It took me a long time to decide on the unlimited, as Ive wanted a wrangler for 25 years, and was dead set that a warngler is a 2 door. But going from my big ol' Yukon xl to the unlimited is a bit easier on me.

The dealer did tell me it would unloaded in CB then brought over here. I inquired with the customer service chat again today, and it is apparently in transit, but who knows how long that will take!

I have a black unlimited (JK) also. Once it hits KZ Jeep Chat can't help. The dealer has access to a logistics system called VLS that will say exactly where it is during transit and the ETA. Just call them every couple of days and ask when and where it passed the last reader. It takes them less than a minute and a good dealer usually runs the report on all orders every morning to know where every vehicle is.

Hello from Wisconsin. New to forum but just ordered my 5th Jeep.
We have had a 1998 TJ, 2005 TJ Sport, 2010 JKU Sahara(now my daughters), 2015 JKU Sahara and we just ordered a 2019 JLU Sahara.
Have not done a lot of off-roading, just some forest trails around the area but would like to do more.
Currently I am trying to figure out what to do about our custom made spare cover when we get the JL. That backup camera is going to be a problem. Wish they would have put it atop the center brake light but I'm sure they had some reason for the location.

Hello,

I'm from New Hampshire and I'm new in this forum. I just placed an order for a 2DR MT Rubicon White yesterday, Mar 27. I don't have it yet but I figure I'd say hello.

This will be my first Wrangler, but not my first time on a Jeep. I grow up in the Philippines and my father got a hold of a Willys in 1967 in an auction when the Americans left the surplus after the war. That Jeep has been a part of our family until just early 2000 when my father finally sold it. All my siblings, myself included, learned to drive on that Jeep. We went off-roading with that jeep, not for fun, but because we had to get to places LOL

After having several sedans and sports cars, I finally decided to get my own. I got a Rubicon even if I don't think I'll ever go off-roading with it, but I like the idea that I have it when the opportunity presents itself

I'm expecting it in 6-8 weeks, according to my salesperson.

Hello from Orlando, Florida. My wife and I just ordered a 2019 Sahara (Ocean Blue) from Lakeland Dodge/Jeep. Its our first Jeep and vehicle purchase outside of GM products. We plan to trade in our 2016 Corvette for the Jeep. My wife has been driving the Corvette and wanted something she can haul our two dogs around in a little easier as well as travel up north in the snow on her own. After testing out all the different SUV's, this is what she thought would be perfect and I agree. We do a lot of camping and hiking so that played into our decision as well. I have learned a ton so far from this forum and would like to thank everyone here for the information.

Hello from Omaha, NE - impatiently waiting for my girl to be ready - (ordered 2/11) off the train 3/26 - I had add ons. Not my 1st - in '94 I had a '91 with half doors and a soft top (I was high flutin because I had A/C). I am trading in my RR Evoque - I have not driven the '19 - but I did drive a '16 - and I am good with making the switch. I have always wanted the 4 door - glad I waited. Kind of apprehensive - I am a huge manual fan, seen other posts about people not being happy with it - I'll adjust, always do. Kinda wishing I'd have seen the Bikini Green before I pulled the trigger - but my Crystal Granite will be low key flossy

Sooo excited to be here and to dress her up!!! With any luck tomorrow is the day!!!

Thanks. I have regrets about not getting the steel bumpers, but I can remedy that eventually.

When I ordered mine back in July, they had all the options except for the steel bumpers and LED package. Apparently it wasn't available or "Serviceable" as they put it. Like you said, the steel bumpers weren't an issue since I was planning on swapping them out anyways, but I'm kinda miffed about the LEDs because there hasn't been any solid after-market setups that I've seen. Unless, they just came out with something and I haven't been looking to deeply.

Anyone know of anything?

Goat says hello...reluctantly...he’s a dick

Those wheels are gorgeous. Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking?

Happy Saturday everybody! We're heading to Silverton, CO. in June. Can hardly wait. Hope all that snow melts by then. We we're there several years ago and most of the passes weren't open until after July 4th!

First time Jeep owner with a 2019 Rubicon Unlimited. I decided to go with the basic Rubicon 2.0L, Automatic, and the cold weather package. Hoping to get out on some easy and moderate trails not too far from the Denver metro in the coming weeks. I've ordered an aftermarket Rampage front bumper and Smittybilt winch for the 1st mods to it.
