Eh oh, I just moved into JB status and obviously ran here to see what stage that is. Not liking this thread!

But in JB they said "Vehicle has been built and is pending installation of additional equipment.
This is a necessary step when additional features or optional equipment packages are added to the vehicle."

What could be added other than soft top? Decals? (I ordered dual tops).

Whelp, welcome! Your dual top is what is going to hold you up here in JB. Premium Soft Tops are back ordered. Projection from multiple sources say mid Mar before they start back up.....Good luck! Be patient, when they get the tops in, you will move through this stage. The important thing to keep in mind here is that you made it through the inspection, you don't want to get stuck in I (Built not ok'd)

Anyone stuck in JS? I have been there for 2 weeks. I imagine it is the soft top but really have no clue.

It goes to "outside vendor" for things like decals,headliner, etc But ours is stuck there because of the tops that aren't in stock, or so they say. They have to keep them somewhere while awaiting the phantom top!

Remember the train ride is only part of the shipping, then it has to be unloaded, stored in the yard, then the portable parking lot has to be loaded. The dealership has to have enough vehicles being delivered in order to get a truckload. I’ve had some of my cars sitting at the yard for a couple weeks before they picked it up.

All of the excitement of seeing E.... faded today with my entry to JB!
Is everyone stalling there? Lucked out and didn't go for dual tops. Everything else is in stock, I wont get stuck, and I will fly right through, right?

Forget about when, my question is “why”?
