Why not just build and ship the Dual-top that are ordered with hard top and then have dealer instal the soft top when they arrive later? I would hate to be waiting around for my new toy just because the soft top isn't ready.

Why ship twice to the same spot and increase the cost and the risk for loss / damage?
Doing it once at the time of production also ensures it gets done properly and avoids duplication.

If people don’t want to wait then they could get the HT-only and add a BesTop afterwards.
They can still change their order to do so now if a few weeks matter that much.

However since there appears to be a 90 day hold anyways, the difference in time is likely minimal.

Congrats all, the poll shows we have 25 orders already!

A note to all that have ordered the dual top. As noted in our 2018-19 JL production timeline, the soft top and dual tops are slightly delayed (likely a month or so after order banks have opened). This could mean that anyone who has ordered a dual top will experience either a delay or FCA will eliminate that on the initial orders until the soft top becomes available.

It remains to be seen just how this will be handled but just a heads up all who have or plan to order the dual top.

@Administrator, let us know about the 4.10 gears before we get VINs please! Is it standard or in any package?

Ok, so I see the 17 x 7.5 wheel with polished lip seems to be an option (WLD) on the Rubicon or maybe others. What would the standard be, all black? I'd love to see the difference.

I live in Brazil. Here there is still no forecast to start the orders. Does anyone have any news about the beginning of sales in Brazil and which versions will come? Just the Sport?

Just ordered a black rubicon unlimited fully loaded. I checked every box essentially other than the matching fenders as those will probably be replaced anyway!

Ordered a White JLU Rubi yesterday. The order sheet shows Build Priority: 01 instead of 99 like other member's. Anybody have an idea what that means?

That was my question to the dealer. He could not answer. Said Chrysler rep will not give out any information before the lax auto show. Even to help make sure customers are ordering correctly. The sales rep believes the rims pictured on rubi from the manual that was leaked on stock Rubi rims. Therefore his guess is that the options rims are the all black rims we see on the test mules. I went for the optioned rims based on his guess. However I have my reservations that this is correct because the description on the option rims states "polished" which leads me to think the wheels shown on the rubi from manual may be the option rims and all black rims we see on test mules are the stock Rubi rims.

Good question!

Maybe because you only ordered the hard top and not dual top? According to the build timeline, hardtops are at the start of production and dual tops start about a month later.

Just a guess though!

That's a good point! i didn't think of that. My dealer seems to also think that it might be the floor model Chrysler brings in December for the dealership to learn about the JL and that they will turn around and hand me over the keys. Only time will tell!

Now that the 2018 Jeep Wrangler order bank has opened, please share with the community which one you've ordered here! There's a 2 vote max and we've added all trims/engines including later-available models.

If you're willing and able please post up your order confirmation, order date, etc.

This thread is only for those who have ALREADY placed an order, not for discussion of what you plan to order.

Hi there! I ordered my Jeep Sport S on September 23rd, she got put on a train bound for NYC last Wednesday October 25th, I'm waiting for my dealership to call me any day and let me know she's on her way from NYC to me (upstate NY). I ordered Xtreme Purple (to match my 2014 Plum Crazy Dodge Challenger!) and am SUPER excited! This Jeep is the first vehicle I sat with a dealer and ordered!!! Happy to be in this group, I apologize up front if I post things incorrectly or what have you :)

Just an FYI - you ordered a JK (the current body style) not a JL (the new body style). If you wanted a JK :like: but if you’re looking for the JL you’ll have to place a new order soon!
