my life. suspected my JT was going to land any day but had a trip planned and had to leave. dealer let’s me know it’s arrived today. I guess another week won’t hurt after “5 months!!”.

Me too, been making offerings to the “Wheelin’ Powers” to get my delivery in time to drive my GCMJTLE to Texas for my dad’s Bday... 2nd week in October... also made a flight Rez... just in case. Mine’ll probably arrive right after I land in Corpus Christi! ;{

Probably about a week and a half. As long as it doesn't get stuck in JB. It should take a day or two to get shipped then probably about a week to get delivered and PDI.
Been stuck in JB for 14 days... still there! ;{

Called the C line twice today when I got back from the mountain. Got the machine both times... just hung up. Awhile later got a voicemail from Barb, which surprised me, because I hadn’t left any massages. So, I returned her call (from a different number than the reg Concierge #) she said she wasn’t in the office today, but could she help me anyway... I asked about my status, she said, still in JBS. I asked if there was something wrong with my vehicle... she said, no, if it was needing anything, she’d be able to see it, ie. if it needed bedliner, emissions work, or any other part or repair, she would see it noted. She again, reiterated, “You’re JTLE is fine, JD, in fact according to this, it’s built, finished, just in JBS Storage... waiting.” (Waiting?) She finished with, “I’m sure it will move in the next few days!”
I’ve also been back and forth with my dealer, who’s waiting to hear back from his Rep about “why the delay”.
Reckon it’s probably still got to do with shipping logistics.
(God forbid they should ship a single JT to New Mexico!)
I suspect they prefer to hold off on paperwork, (actual sale to dealer, money changing hands) until they have shipping nailed down. (I think that’s why the WindowSticker always follows the “SL” date.)
FCA probably gets a lot more flack, from a dealer who has already paid for a vehicle, when that vehicle then sits for days in plant storage!
This is the first I’ve picked up my phone since my talk with Barb today... found it quite thoughtful of her to call me back, even though I’d hung up without leaving a message!
Glad to see all the progress here on the Forum... especially the deliveries and pics! God I love the look of the GCMJTLE. Even love the color scheme of the badging!
Back to my “Positive Visualization” Meditation... Ohmmmmmmmm... :turkey:
(My Dancing Sasquatch is back!) :sun: ;{

Very little movement yesterday except for a few delivery updates. Only about a dozen window stickers hit from 9/10 last night (vs. 40-60 a day last week). Not sure if they are slow rolling the few remaining builds or system just isn't getting updates.

My window sticker did finally hit this morning (after Paige said it was KZS Monday night), so there does seem to be a few day lag between completion and the window sticker being available.

I'm showing 3 build sheets still not valid, so I'm guessing those are non Granite LEs mixed in the middle of this batch. That puts the total Granite LE builds in this batch at 438. Still 48 (11%) missing window stickers, including 5 of us (@Munchos, @Sean0170, @WildJD, @terrordbn, @NoiseBoy303). Maybe the few folks still waiting on their builds to finish need to call Barb/Paige or your dealer and get an update to find out if yours is done or if there are production issues.

This morning's updates. Not much has changed. A few delivery & status updates. No new stickers or progress on the last few builds that seem to be "stuck" in I or JB. Only 7 builds completed on 9/11 with 41 still remaining.

I guess I will be one of the only GCMLE owners in the state of SC!

Last night I dreamed FCA Toledo only had one storage barn, and they ran it like a car ferry... 1st car in, last car out... also dreamed they just randomly pick cars to ship (based on variable criteria) and store the rest, (in the same “Ferryboat configuration”, and in the same single barn), also dreamed they just label them under whatever their last status designation was... KZ, stores as KZS (Storage)... JB, stores as JBS... etc... but all together, in the same giant, Ferryboat, Barn! (In my dream it looked like the warehouse in the end of Raiders of the Lost Arc!)
Ironically, I was so thrilled to be the first of our batch to get an “E” status... and first to get a BuildSheet... little did I realize, being first really meant... 1st one in... last one out! ;{

Just got a message from my dealer and FCA says it is scheduled for a Sept. 20th delivery. Funny how others in the same metro area already have theirs, built at the same time, have the same ship date but it takes up to 2 weeks longer for it to show up at my dealership. FCA must be pushing it by hand to the dealership...

Got a status of "JSS" from the Concierge. Never heard this status before. "JS" is shipped to storage. Just sounds like more delay to me...
