STING GRAY Wrangler JL Club

I am skeptical that they build in VIN order personally. There are people who got VINs in D that took months to get built based on available parts.

I agree that it is not a rigid sequence. They have to account for unique parts, changing availabilities, etc. But based on Sergio's info alone it definitely is a good broad guideline. Do Jeeps with higher VINs get built before lower VINs? Certainly. I'm just saying I think that for the most part, if your last 6 is in the 190xxx range, you will be built before a VIN in the 210xxx range. The gateline number is the hard sequential number it sounds like, and they generally assign gateline numbers to VIN batches.

I really don't think VIN matters a whole lot. More of a batch process to build Jeeps that have similar options. At least that would make sense from a production stand point. Run all rubicon's with the same axles and hoods at the same time so you don't have mix all the parts in the process. Maybe they do, maybe they don't, that is what I get from thinking logical.

That would be painful, knowing it is built and just sitting, baking in the sun and getting grayer. Is that a word? I would devise a plan to go break it out of the storage yard and deal with the consequences.

But really only because you know it. Most people buy off the lot. How long did it sit there? How long was it in storage before that?

So sayeth Sergio:

Your car is framed and in the transfer to go to paint.

Is it too late to glean the knowledge and wisdom that the man, who’s name we will not speak of, possesses in reference to the status of our SGs?

If Sergio is to be believed, it definitely matters. You can look at one of my earlier posts for his exact words.

Oh I sure it matters sum, but I don't think it is the determining factor on which goes first. There has to be a huge number of variables that all play a part on when something actually gets built.

Awesome! You should show up on the tracker today. It is supposed to be up to date once the build starts. Let us know if you do. That would confirm Sergio's accuracy.

Congratulations!

I didn't show up this morning, but jstew just showed up in E.

I think vins are issued in order. After that, it’s time ordered and parts availability.
Get in a shipment of led lights, line up some builds that need them. They don’t store parts there, so it makes sense to build them for the parts you have access to at a given time.

So, I emailed my dealer and got my VIN, VON, and am in D. Pretty good news So, where might I find in this thread what Sergio says the VINs impact on your build?

Are you going to be the first to post a plethora of photos? Seems like your build is moving..congrats!
