I’ve got a little less than one week with my Mojito JLU Sahara. It was on the dealer’s lot, and it’s (essentially) fully loaded. The only option it doesn’t have (which I wanted) is the dual top group.

Thinking of selling my soft top - still in box - anyone interested?

Tai, how did you manage to hit the build jackpot? I’m checking the ‘status site’ 3 times a day and can’t get out of of D1; I noticed that you are moving right along. Good for you, I’ve just got a bit of Buried20kleagues in me as I watch others breeze by...

Hi James! Sorry yours isn't moving along very quickly. The ONLY reason I think mine might be flying through is because I essentially ordered a base Sport JLU. I didn't even order a Sport S. Because I needed a vehicle so quickly, I didn't add any special packages to it. The only thing I requested that cost extra was a hard top and auto tranny. And most dealers have that combo on their lots already, but no one had a Mojito; that was the only reason mine had to be ordered initially.

And when I say base, I mean, no tech package, no alarm, no mopar mats, no tinted windows, no powered locks/keyless entry (Sport model doesn't come with it; Sport S models do). So yeah...I think they had everything needed for my build at the manufacturing site, as hard tops and auto trannys are extremely common.

Now, if you ordered a Rubicon and/or added extra packages,...there are more chances of your build being postponed if they don't have everything needed for your build at the site. It's possible they have to ship parts in from different locations around the US, or from Canada or Mexico (depending on the item needed). The more additions requested, the more special/uncommon your Jeep will be; and potentially the more chances for any "issues" found along the way.

Now I can't say that this is the reason 100% as I can't confirm this information. But it is something I noticed by certain builds from this forum and others. It is rare that I see anyone post that their build is a base model sport without "the works".

I think that HAS to be the one variable that sets my build apart from most, and therefore has to be directly related to how quickly mine is moving through. I also think location is a major factor; as there are more people in the Houston area ordering Jeeps so railcars are easily filled and can be sent here quickly. Essentially there's not a long wait for Jeeps coming to this area, and therefore shipments here are more "cost effective" in the minds of FCA; therefore becoming more frequent. The least amount of orders coming in your direction, the longer it'll take to have your Jeep delivered to you.

Again, this is "my analysis" that I've developed from information posted here.

It's a theory, nothing official about it!
