When is it appropriate to start asking for VIN status? I don't want to blow Craig @ Koons up, but I've seen most people who order have gotten their VIN's pretty quickly (Unless in Canada; What's that all aboot, eh?)

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I feel bad for our brother's up North.

Side note: I got my VIN from Craig at Koons in VA about 10 minutes after posting this. LOL #StayStrongCanada

It usually takes only a few days, even for Canadians. Call your dealer 3 or 4 days after the order has been placed and ask for your VIN and VON (Vehicle Order Number). The VON is available when the dealer puts the order into Jeep's system. Though it is unusual, Vins can sometimes take a few weeks if a specific part or option is not yet available.

You can also have a look at my Canadian order experience to help establish some expectations on timing. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ld-and-delivery-experience.12941/#post-318266
Of course, your mileage will vary.

Also, consider paying the $25 or $30 to track your order through JeepGarage. It saves you from calling the dealer constantly and provides more reliable information.

A paid Lever III ($25) or higher membership is required. Level IV ($30) and up receive PDF vehicle build sheet after the vehicle is built

To have your order tracked send a PM to Milous or Scotty on the Jeep Garage forum (https://jeepgarage.org) or post your request in the following message thread: https://jeepgarage.org/f102/custome...ep-dodge-chrysler-and-ram-vehicles-96545.html

The following information must accompany your vehicle tracking request:

[1] Your VON, VIN or E number.

The VON is the Vehicle Order Number, that is assigned when an order is placed with your dealer, the same day or shortly thereafter). The VIN is assigned, a few days or more after the after the VON has been processed. In Australia, an "E" number is provided. These can be provided by your dealer.

[2] Your vehicle type (Jeep Wrangler JL)

[3] Vehicle color

[4] Date your order placed with dealer

Order tracking updates are posted on: https://jeepgarage.org/f102/custome...ge-chrysler-fiat-and-ram-vehicles-143338.html

Definitely did this. They also had dedicated Jeep hotline and email. (Pic below). Does any one know what steps is after the VIN? That usually means they're getting ready to build it, no?

Canadian order here. I ordered back in March, a Thursday night. The actual order was done mid-day Friday and I got my VIN/VON on Thursday. 6 days total, but 4 business days.

If it takes over a week, I would assume the order had not been made yet or VIN/VON delivery now takes a lot longer than it used to.

The process varies by order and options and some codes may not show up at all, even stages that every vehicle goes through.

D: is when your VIN has been assigned.
D1: means the parts are on order and the unit is sequenced for production.
I: is the post-production code for, pending final inspection.
JB: means it's shipped to a body vendor for install of certain options.
KZ: this one you want to see. It means its been released for shipment - it's on its way (soon?)
