Just brought mine home. The OB, in fact the whole vehicle, looks fantastic in person...pictures do not do it justice. Two of the fenders, plastic, had very minor scratches but dealer ordered replacements. The manual trans & clutch are great. No obvious issues noted from the drive, or from crawling around underneath.

Glad you finally got it. Hope you are happy and the Jeep exceeds your expectations.

My JL has been at the dealer all week I drove her two days. Iā€™m furious that I spent all that money and itā€™s still at the dealer. I was called today to once again say what the issues are. Very disappointed to say the least! Extremely disappointed. I have a loaner but itā€™s not a wrangler, and not my OBRUBi. Hope everyone else is enjoying their blue babies!!!

Jeep was ordered on 2/17/18, 101 days ago. Dealer thinks it will be in New Jersey on 6/4 and will get to me a couple days after that, but Jeep Chat says the status is still "Shipping" and there is no ETA. This Saturday will be 15 weeks since I placed my order, when I was told the vehicle would likely be ready in 6-8 weeks but "they tell everyone 10 weeks to be on the safe side."

Yikes and I thought my wait was bad, all I can say is in about a week after having it you will likely forget all about the wait prior.

Frankie, you should have reordered. That wait really sucks.

Has anyone seen a 2 door In Ocean Blue yet? I've been looking around and still see none.

supposedly there is a 2 door coming in the same time to my dealer as my wife's 4 door. If so I'll get some pics. We were told to expect hers this week.

The dealer just called me to tell me that its ready to pick up and that the auto features were fine, ok sure. We shall see. They got the scratches out apparently too. I will pick it up one of these days.

My lease expired on 5/18 and my dealer is giving me a free loaner of a 2017 JK to tide me over. That's the only reason I haven't lost my mind.
Frankie, you should have reordered. That wait really sucks.
I gave them $1K down, although I think they'd refund it if I asked, but then I'd be at square one with no car, and who knows how long the wait would be? The only way I'd do it would be if I found the car I want in a lot.

Just got this from the dealer a couple of mins back:

Suresh,

I've been looking to see why your Wrangler is taking longer than expected to arrive. I was told that they're having some supplier issues with the soft tops for the new Wranglers, basically the demand is greater than the supply and they're struggling to make enough of them. That means that Wranglers with the soft top or dual top group (like yours) face some delays being shipped out. Like I mentioned earlier, I'll let you know as soon as they've actually shipped the vehicle to us.

Not sure if you ordered dual top though...

Also, then how can it be ready to ship when truly it is waiting on a part. If what the dealer states is correct and what i suspected is true that really these are not getting fully competed due to parts delays so they push the status to KZ and hold until rest is completed and tell the customers it is ready but facing shipping delays...
