The dreaded JB freeze

[TrassaE95]

After 3 months of waiting....

kicker is the soft top is still missing! SMH

Glad to see this!

I went from JB to KZ today. Dealer notified me and told me to plan for two weeks to pick it up. Hope they are right!

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.

Still working everything out, but I think we landed on 5/60 bumper to bumper for free. Not exactly what I wanted but it is better than a kick in the teeth.

Well, so much for that... just got a call from Koons. My Jeep is in 2 weeks earlier than expected. Ordered 4/3 (order was placed on 4/3) and today, 5/4 it’s in and ready. Wasn’t planning on the four hour trek to DC this weekend but I guess I don’t have much of a choice. Good problem to have!

I am in the same boat- I ordered a JLUR- LED, Dual Top, Tow, Cold Weather Package.

Is there a common thread to all of these? I would assume it is a short fall in the Just-in-time parts coming from an external vendor. I saw somewhere that the LED's are now back ordered but I would assume they would have already installed the LED's on the production line. Could it be the soft top holding us up?
I can be a bit patient but it would be nice to at least have some information, a basic understanding of the time frame and why it was delayed.

Well out of JB and in KZ with a dealer estimated 2 weeks. Was in JB for 6 days.

Just moved to JB today. Was excited to finally be out of D1, then ran a search to see exactly what JB was and found this thread. Now I'm not so excited anymore. :-(

Ordered 2dr 1/6. Built 0n 5/4. Been in JB ever since for Headliners. Only add on. Do not order headliners unless you want to be in JB hell. 136 days since order. what a crock.

Yup... 2-Door Rubicon, ordered 1/6. I went from I to JB last week and have been sitting there ever since.

At least the dealer is giving me a loaner to drive since I have to turn in my leased vehicle.

Also JB since last week, 5/15/18, 2 Door Sport S with Headliner.

Late Edit: Escaped JB 5/30/18 went KZ 5/31/18.

Been stalking the forum for a while but first post since things appeared to finally start moving along..

Ordered around March 9th (2 dr Rubicon, auto, hard top, fully equipped). Was excited to see it finally move and now been in JB for roughly 20 days (since ~May 9th). Losing hopes of having this in time for prime summer weather.

I ordered 3/20. I just reached JB two days ago. (4-door, JLUR, All options except wheel upgrade and painted hardtop).

Window sticker became available on Friday (6/1) -- so took me ~3 weeks to go from JB to KZ [assumed from window sticker].

I ordered JLU Sting-Gray on May 19, I received an email today that the MOPAR headliner recently began production and that all JL’s ordered to be equipped with this option will be prioritized based upon date ordered.

I have been in JB status for 13 days now. I’m guessing it is because of the headliners. I contacted Jeep chat and they mentioned at 14 days it could be assigned to some internal team at Jeep to look into why it’s still in JB status. Does that sound right to others who have had similiar waits?

I was in Inspection for 32 days and last week I was put in JB. I check a few times a day on the Jeep sight if my actual jeep is in transit. Just a bit ago it shows it is in transit. Does that mean it has actually found a train or truck or it is now waiting on one?
