Sold Order normally goes through pretty quick. I got the Black MOAB 19 fully decked out ordered 10/23. Just got done painting so estimating to get shipped and be here sometime next week.

Fully loaded MOAB in white with dual top is now in F status (paint)! Ordered first thing in the morning 9/29

Jeep Chat telling me I’m in F as well! Guess it’s Moab day! Interestingly JeepGarage still has both of us D1 as of an hour ago.

My 2019 Moab is in JS status.....ordered 9/27.

Congrats! I ordered same day as you and still sitting in D1. Hopefully starts moving soon.

jeepgarage still shows me in D1, but my dealer emailed me the order confirmation sheet updated with F-Paint status. I have sent an email to jeepgarage asking why.

I've had mine for a little over a month now. Picked up on 9/30 and have just under 2000 miles so far. (We drive it everywhere.)

On balance, the KM2s are not bad, in my opinion. They are probably the weak link on the MOAB, but that's just because the rest of the Jeep is so well done. They look great, but you do give up some on-road stability. That being said, I do NOT think they're as bad as I thought they were going to be. It's rained basically every other day since I got the Jeep, so I've driven it on a lot of wet roads. One time, I took a turn a bit too fast and got loose a little. Since then, I am careful with the throttle and turns on wet roads, but it's never gotten loose once since then, and while I'm being careful, I'm not driving it "slow."

By comparison, I have a Sierra with all-season (i.e., road biased) tires, and they break loose all the time when the road is wet, any time I'm accelerating on an incline or around a turn. (Obviously, the back end of a pickup is always going to get loose more easily, but just using it as a comparison.) I typically put the Sierra in 4 Auto just to avoid that. I've only put the Jeep in 4 Auto once - in an absolute downpour and just as a precaution; not because I was losing traction.

So, I'm fine with the KM2s and not considering swapping them out right now. I do need to see how they perform in the snow - that will be the bigger test for me. If they get loose too easily in the snow, I'll definitely be looking to swap for Duratracs or KO2s.

Is there a reason you don't keep it in 4 Auto all the time? Is it worse on gas for example?

Yes, 4 auto will be a little worse on gas, a little slower, and put a little more wear and tear on the drivetrain.

If anyone wants to sell their Moab black wheels let me know or if you could message me your vin so I can look into ordering them I would greatly appreciate it

My 2019 Moab is in JS status, I ordered 9/28. But Jeep Chat said JS means "final inspection", when I look up the order code on the Jeep Fan website it says "JS – shipped to storage".

The same for me. Ordered on 9/28. Ocean Blue MOAB.

Most importantly it’s theoretically beyond JB

Awesome! I was excited to get the news because just last week I was still in D1. Did your dealer give you an est. ship/delivery date?

Yes, fingers crossed!

Anyone try to order a MOAB with the textured top vs painted? Like the MOAB but just not a fan of all one color. Do you think a painted top could be wrapped?

My dealer has not contacted me at all since ordering. Jeep Chat can not give me an ETA.

I saw the Mojito lifted MOAB with 35's, but anyone add bigger tires with no lift yet?
