So ordering LED headlamps in a Rubi or Sahara right now may delay delivery through May?

@JAY what do you mean when you say April, is this for orders placed recently or for upcoming orders for production in April?

Dang, that sucks. I wonder if it's a supply chain issue or they didn't expect that most people will want the LED package

And to be clear I want one as soon as all my features are available. But if Iā€™m waiting till May/June or possibly later for the power top than I might as well wait for a 2019, Cuz your gonna lose equity on a 2018 being a MY older regardless of when you actually got it.

However to be fair, it seems like a supplier issue, as FCA likely has no involvement in making LEDs, so they like everyone is at the mercy of their supplierā€™s abilities to meet demand.

As mentioned earlier, I wouldnā€™t be surprised if everyone expected a lot more Sport sales in the early JLUs, and when they started being very heavily weighted as fully equipped Sahara & Rubicons that they overwhelmed the projected demand.

Minor issue... but another in a multitude of minor issues... which definitely tarnishes the launch.

I am surprised by the number of Sahara's that have been built. Pretty close to the number of Sports.

As per the above, can you clarify if this is affecting every Jeep moving forward to April or they're forecasting a constraint in the April scheduled production? Thanks.
