I’m in 4 to 5 day ‘E’ to ‘I’ limbo, @Rebel JT is built, we’ll see how long it takes for him to get a Window Sticker! That’ll indicate how much lag/disconnect there is between FCA’s record keeping and reality! Also, remember, it’s an ”Estimated ShipDate”! FCA’s schedules and data updates are pretty loosey goosey!

Got the vin for my GCM overland with matching top 1C6HJTFG5LL150945 on D1 estimated ship date 9/9??

@Rebel JT : Your build sheet is ready!
https://www.jeep.com/webselfservice/BuildSheetServlet?vin=1C6JJTBG3LL144469

Updated your, @atlRubyGlad and @jctnt1's info:

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).

EDIT #1: Added more status updates/VINs after original post earlier this AM.
EDIT #2: Added @WildJD's build sheet date, @Rebel JT 's status
EDIT #3: Added @jctnt1's ship date and @Rebel JT's build sheet date.

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

Care to share some info? Status, estimated dates, what you found out and how, etc? Other than your VON you're a ghost.

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! ;{

The real reason the GC LE’s didn’t get made until now is the 70000 (or 7000) government order JTs that we’re prioritized

Those were all destroyed in a train derailment in Nevada and they had to build them all over again.

Saw this post in the Punk'N group. Gives an idea of a recent build and actual dates relative to the "estimated" ship date. (I've seen many posts/sigs that show build progress, but not usually also with the "estimated" ship date). Looks like he went KZ yesterday, 5 days after "estimated" ship date. Build started 4 days before "estimated" ship date. Average time from E->KZ has been ~9 days, so this is definitely a typical build progress.

So even though the first Granite LE "estimated" ship dates are today through Sat, those may not be ready to ship until next week. Hopefully we should start seeing more E+ statuses any day now.

I officially have a window sticker now!

Summary of my order....

7-19 (Ordered with dealer.. but he didn’t place order till 7-22)
7-23 (D)
7-24 (Modified order to add dual top)
7-26 (Modified again to add 8.4 audio package...)
7-30 (Modified again to add full 8.4 audio package because I realized dealer only added alpine but not 8.4 group)

8-8 (D1)
8-19 (E)
8-20 (F)
8-21 (JB)
8-22 (Build sheet showed up in tracker)
8-23 (Original “estimated” ship date)
8-28 (KZ)
8-29 (Window sticker shows up in tracker)

Got some good news today, I am out of D1, moved to E!

@NoiseBoy303 I got an email from WHCDJR on Tuesday saying that I was still in D1. Wonder if they are going to ship ours together? Knowing my luck you'll get yours first. Which is good luck for you. Are you doing anything to yours or keeping it stock?

Hopefully we’ll start seeing more I, JB, and KZ Statuses soon! And who knows, maybe I’ll even get a ShipDate! ;{
