Yes that would suck. The resale hardly changes because of the miles after a couple years, unless there is a major design overhaul, but still.

well, it is the end of the year and factories tend to shut down for a week or two.
Yep. Easier to shut down than deal with filling-in for all the folks realizing they have vacation left over at the end of the year.

...Now, we just need to police ourselves that folks JK and JL orders aren't asking a lot of questions on the page as the man may catch on shut it down...

Based on chatter in the threads, it appears the JK line keeps shutting down due to parts shortages while the JL line continues.
A JK hasn't been made for almost 4 years now. 🤷‍♂️

I'm guessing there are some disgruntled Wrangler builders right now
They seem to be getting triple time to work over the holiday shutdown and it looks like it's on a volunteer basis... the workers doing it are probably as far from disgruntled as you'll get.

From the Facebook post it looked like some weren't to happy being sent home early or not working at all the past couple weeks. I'm sure they're happy to be working now and especially getting the OT, I would. So I'm not to worried that mine was just built by someone who didn't want to be there. I'm more concerned about 3rd party parts and the quality with all the shortages both workers and material.

They definitely are running. They just finished making all of the final 2021s yesterday. 2022s are coming off the line now.
FROM THAT ARTICLE IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE JUST RUNNING MONDAY AND TUESDAY NEXT WEEK AND NOT ON FRIDAY THIS WEEK
