First Granite Crystal VIN# Post Here

[kayakmike]

Just received my Build Sheet from
www.jeep.com “Web Self Service Build Sheet Servlet”!
10 pages long, here’s a screen grab of the 1st page.
FYI everybody... the “TRACKER” still comes up “Not Found” for both ‘Build’ & ‘Sticker’... But, now when I press the Build column’s “Not Found” This sheet does pop up!
This is starting to look real. ;{

Living vicariously through you!

I guess my dual/soft top rumor didn't gain any traction....

Hey, I’ll be happy when it has 4 Tires (and a spare)! ;{

Guarantee you that the spare will not match the other 4. Will be a black steel wheel and the tire on it may be a temporary use tire. Will the first thing I get swapped out on my truck the first week I have it. I looked underneath an Overland truck a week ago and noticed this. This is what I call being cheap, or should I say Jeep cheap!? To spend this much money on a truck it should get a matching spare.

It’s a different wheel, but it’s still a 33” Falken Wildpeak. Other LE receivers have attested! ;{

Yeah, the JTs come with a steel rim but full size spare. Since the spare is exposed underneath, it can take a bit of wear just hanging there. https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/spare-tire-steel-wheel.10260/

Jeep definitely gets cheap. Our Jeep Cherokee (now my son's car) didn't even come with a spare. Just an air pump with some slime in it. A friend had a sidewall tear (that slime won't seal) on his Cherokee and barely made it back stopping occasionally to re-inflate. Last set of tires I kept the best one and bought another rim and jack so it has one now. The Cherokee spare tire kit (tire, rim, jack) is like $500.

For you @WildJD, I had to redo the Granite LE tracking table. Removed the folks that bailed on their Granite LE orders, and added a bunch of columns for tracking dates (that will hopefully be populating quickly).

Paige confirmed I'm still D1 as of this morning.

Updated with @Rebel JT's G status. He's now in the Granite LE build lead.

Ya know, @kayakmike, I think we may have deduced FCA’s logic for delaying the LE’s...
Could be FCA suddenly realized the logistic nightmare of building a block of 4000 trucks, and having to ship each one to a different location. Maybe some genius decided the simple solution was NOT to build, or treat them as a block (Fleet) of vehicles, but rather to treat them as individual special order vehicles. (Even though, we, as JTLE owners ARE a ‘block’, and, our “one day” order IS actually a single block/fleet order for 4190 like vehicles, “LE’s”!) From my GCMJTLEs time frame (so far) and other info your wonderful data charts are providing... it looks like they’re definitely feeding the LEs (of all colors) into the regular production line. Hence shipping as usual (logistics wise)!
Could also explain the GCM Late Availability early on... they may have anticipated a large percentage of GCM LE orders.
At least, shipping logistics, would be a reasonable answer for why FCA didn’t roll out the LEs as a Block/Fleet, at the beginning of production! And it may well have been one of those issues not considered until late in the game, requiring some “seat-of-the-pants” scrambling, by FCA honchos for a workable (albeit CLUMSY) solution! ;{

They are individual sold orders, for all colors. I've never heard they were planned to be built in a block.

Just trying to make sense of the inexplicable! ;{
