I ordered the same w/auto & w/pst 1-24-18 just got e-mail from Jeep that my transit has ended and to call my dealer Born On The 4th Of July has new meaning now my 5th Jeep in 54 yearsLove the smaller size and classic shape of the 2-door, and weβre a year away from the younger daughter heading off to college, so just need room for the wife, dogs and sufficient camping gear to support a trip to the mountains. Oh, and a hardtop for moving kayaks... and lockers for the occasional tough trail... ARBs on my 4Runner & OEM on my trucks have all been more than sufficient for our purposes to date.
Drove a few Sports and found them okay rides for a truck... little rough around the edges compared to modern SUVs like the 4Runner, and with a too-light clutch for my personal tastes, but overall better than good enough. Liked the way the JL handled better than the JLU, at least for city driving.
Went with a 6MT Firecracker Red build including steel bumpers, hitch, LEDs, cold-weather kit (chilly in the mountains sometimes), body colored fenders, black hardtop w/ headliner and all-weather mats. Placed the order on 7/2, and may call in to add the upgraded sound system too.
Now begins the wait... I figure I got the order in shortly before the β19 MY cut-off, so assuming I actually get it eventually I hope to have 1 of what, maybe 1,500 first-year JL Rubicons built? Should be a classic, if I keep it long enough!

Any details on this tracking system? Is this some internal one or can regular customers look up their Jeeps here?Ordered 6/30, got my VIN yesterday. Says ETA is 8/7 but I don't believe it can be that fast!
This is my first Jeep and only the 2nd new car I've ever bought - last was a Ford Ranger that cost $12,000 in 1996. Now the wait continues...
