Thanks for the advice and for scaring me with the thought of 60 days. Reached out the JeepCares but go the old we don't care about canadian line. Escalated through jeep chat and called my dealer. Not sure if anything helped or it was just my time but went to KZ this morning. Fingers crossed the missing parts are in and people start clearing JB quickly

Hey all, just got to JB last night! 51 pages can’t be good!!! Haha I haven’t read them yet tho. Hopefully my stay will not be very long, but I did hear there are still delays on the premium soft top.

My 3/18 order just hit JB status after being built 4/23. Also hoping for a short stay here. I got dual tops and what I am seeing is those have the highest tendency to delay here.

It seems that Jeep has fixed most of the problems in JB. Sadly you will probably be getting your Jeep before I get mine. I am stuck in KZ.

How long have you been in KZ? My 4/3 order was built and has been in JB for 5 days now. Not sure how long it will be but am hoping to get my Jeep before Memorial Day.

Lol.. ordered 1-30, JB on February 15th, KZ since March 5th range... Stuck in storage since March 9th. Ugh... Frustrating that people who ordered months after mine might get there's before me.

Ouch that is a frustrating wait. The joys of early adoption.

True story! The only saving grace and the reason I have not cancelled is the fact that I got in before the March 1 price increase. That is an extra $1250 I have saved and because so many people that ordered after me have already gotten their Jeeps it looks like I am going yo score some freebies from Jeep. So overall not too bad.

yeesh, 51 pages. That is not a good sign!

Ordered 4/3. In JB for only two days now. I've ordered a JLUS in Granite Crystal. Loaded w/ everything except dual soft tops (seems to be an issue?), proximity & safety.

Best of luck to all my JB companions!

I ordered the same day, but JLUR with some options. Today marks day #7 in JB. It could be a long wait, or be here in a week. Who knows,

I ordered from Koons in Northern Virginia. I think they are trucked directly from the factory yard, and not loaded onto a train, so I hope KZ will be a short wait, but again... (I keep telling myself this) It gets here when it gets here.

4 weeks in KZ doesn't sound like any fun. Hope you get your Jeep soon.

The lack of info makes it even harder to wait

What kind of freebies are you going to score? We have been waiting almost as long as you and ours is still stuck in KZ in Marion.
