Wow, I'm just impressed by that Punk'n Rubicon with the body color top. Looks good.

If you think the overall release is crazy, the 2 door specific release is insane.

Supposedly a member will finally get one this week. December was a long time ago.

Yeah, I like how that color came out...I might have got that if my first car hadn’t been both that color and a PoS...bad juju. My favorite car ever, 4Runner, is blue...so I went with good juju :clap:

The vacant lot is on Route 15 just east of I-255 exit. There is a large rail yard not too far away so maybe the vehicles are transported by rail, unloaded and trucked to this lot for their final destination.

Thanks for the pics! The railyard has a huge loading /storage area so I just assumed they were there. Wonder if they were trucked or railed there. I hope they truck straight to the dealers and not to Memphis or KC which is the normal path to this area. If u see a white 4 door w black fenders/hardtop and the standard bumpers it may be mine. Whatever the case it’s great to see some moving out of there. Would be interesting to see if you can see another pile of JLs at the railyard. I attached the pic of where I thought they were sitting which seems to be a wrong assumption now.

I’m very intrigued by this whole process. I do wonder if they were transported from the factory or Marion, OH by rail to Centreville rail yard then unloaded and moved to this staging lot. When I took the pics this morning, I didn’t notice if they were moving them out or into the lot. I imagine it will take some time to move them out. I was amazed how many were there. It could easily be a 1,000 or more. If I had one on order, I wouldn’t be happy knowing it’s sitting in that pile for days or weeks waiting to be transported.

I arrived today:angry: my salesman who’s Jeep was ordered one day before me never got stuck here. Mine was built a week earlier than his but then I was stuck in JB for a week...now this :swear:
