There has been lots of speculation on what things to avoid if you want your Jeep to be built as soon as possible. For this topic I'm going to focus on a specific aspect of the build process: JB status or "stuck at the build vendor."
I'm not saying that having your Jeep go through the build vendor is a horrible thing. There are, however, horror stories of Jeeps being stuck in JB status for extended periods.
Here's what I understand about things that show up on build sheets that result in your Jeep being diverted to the build vendor. Avoid these if that's a significant concern to you. Note that these parts are ordered by how common they were as of May the 4th, 2022.
