Waste of time!

You very well may be right, but considering I have no Jeep to accessorize, drive, and enjoy, I've got nothing but time.

Got mine yesterday! 12 weeks and 1 day from order. The waiting pain melted away immediately. It is amazing! Very little seat time so far but I’m pleased. Transmission is incredibly smooth and engine is very quiet. Much different than my previous ‘97 TJ Sport. It will take a little time to get the right feel for it. 1st and 2nd gear are quite lower than what I was used to and I will need to work on mastering a smooth shift from 1st to 2nd but the rest of the gears almost seem to shift themselves. Sorry for the poor quality carport pic but I wanted to show a little proof that it is really mine!

All MT owners are inherently trustworthy. All of the highest moral character. Never doubted you for a minute.

Good report on the shifting!

Response was fast, courteous, and professional. The offered help was a note on my case to contact me when an update is available.

I'm not sure that's going to help, but I'm trying to be nice and trying to be respectful of their system. My fear is that means I'll get an email if/when my status changes. What if that's 3 months from now, or never?

It's astonishing that no one can take action to acquire additional information. They have reasons I'm sure, I'd guess mostly financial, that they don't want to incur the expense that a more enabled support system would cost. I get it, it's not a hobby, they do this to make profit.

We're definitely not valued customers though. We're probability of purchase statistics, and the survey says we'll eat this and smile, and still buy a Jeep. Damnable thing is they might be right. I'm trying to screw up the gumption to walk away from this, but I want one pretty bad!

I get an email every two weeks or so now with very little new information. Honestly, the dealership is just as reliable as Jeep now.

Badass! Keep us updated and inspired.

Several days ago chat told me they could not give any status after KZ, but i tried chat today and was told mine "appears to be in transit".

Dealer told me this doesn't mean much and it's still in Michigan (??--thought they were built in Ohio). Dealer says when it gets to KC, Missouri, it's only 2 or 3 days to California. Then tack on another day or two for dealer pickup and prep.

Also, i've never had any luck using the trackers you guys talk about, or getting a sticker or build sheet, but i did get from chat today the "sales codes" which i guess are tantamount to a window sticker.

Thanks I'll have to check back later. I don't think my salesman input the order yet. I just dropped by at the dealership unannounced and made a deal. He was working with 2 other customers at the time.

Jeep chat told me I’m in JB status, finally built. How long does JB last? I’m currently approaching week 14 since order.

Test drove an Overland M/T last Friday. For those that have been waiting it will be worth it, I fell in love. Just trying to decide if I’m going to drop an order or see if one I like shows up.

Mine was in JB for about a week.

Well- that sounds like great news for you.....it would make sense - there are a few other black M/T that went into production around that time and are now in JB......
