Delay ordering for GATOR??????

[eaglerugby04]

That is weird cause mine is still in Jb and I cant get my window sticker. I'm wondering if trailer hitches are also put on during JB.

No window sticker for me either. Sounds like it could be the bed liner, though yesterday on the jeep chat they mentioned the radio as one of the components installed in this phase of the build, guessing since I opted for the 8.4 inch?

Jeep chat keeps telling me that there isn't anything holding my build up. Just that everything is ready and it will be built "soon." Same thing for weeks now.

After some finagling.

I'll have better images in the daylight

How was the first 24 hours?

For what it's worth:
I ordered my Gator on 9/30/2019... it's fully built and it's expected at the rail yard in Selkirk, NY (outside Albany) this Friday 11/1/2019.
HOWEVER, even though the rail yard is not even 35 miles from my dealership, it could be held up at the yard for 7-10 days EASILY. Not ideal, but it is what it is.
I deal a lot with trucking / carriers with my line of work and trust me - this is a NATIONAL issue and I'm sure they are doing the very best they can. Unfortunately there just aren't enough drivers these days.
Fingers crossed for next week, but my gut says week of the 11th.
(build is fully loaded Gator Rubicon - body colored hard-top and fenders, auto, etc. Pretty close to all options available).

I just want mine already too. I also dont want to make another payment (Nov. 1) on the Jeep I'm trading in. Also each month that passes I will get less back for the extended warranty I'm cancelling as well.
Just get here already![/QUOTE
If you have another car to use trade the truck in now to dealer, that's what I did to avoid any more mileage and price deduction for wear.

My dealer gave me this option as well. Another dealership in the area even offered to set me up with a loaner until my order came in, which was generous and ballsy considering the amount of time the order would take to arrive... the dealership i ended up ordering from gave me a reasonable trade-in estimate and as well as prorated figures based on mileage accrued between the time of ordering and actual trade in day... It wasn't enough change to justify trading in my vehicle on that day and getting a rental. On another note, my truck had already been paid off, so i can see where you are coming from.

Sorry for delays. I came from an 18 sti and I will miss that car. It's been 5 years for me since owning a jeep and all I have owned have been old TJs and XJs.

That being said, it has taken some getting used to. I love the truck but it's no STI. I am definitely coming around to my old jeep self. It rides great it's quite the radio is nice the leather is nice it's not to long to where I am worrying about hitting the bed on shit (first pickup truck).. I am quite happy. Only thing i have found i dont like are the tiny mirrors but they are passable for sure.

But 2 pics from today.. one alone and one with a buddy's zr2

I don't think Jeep chat know fully how the build process works. I ordered a 8.4 screen and you can clearly see it already installed in this picture.

Lol they must have no clue at all. That looks really early in the build process.

Are you still stuck in JB as well?

 

[GlacierGladiator]

My dealer refuses to take it until my JT arrives. Here in WA you only pay tax on the difference between the trade in & the new price. If they take it now it will be 2 separate transactions and I will have to pay tax on the full value. Believe me I've tried trading it already. Yeah it just sits in my driveway collecting pine needles until my JT gets here lol.

Was on Monday. I stopped inquiring cause it was starting to stress me out. I'll check again Friday. Hopefully I have good news for the weekend.

Dealer just got mine in. Pick up tomorrow.

Lucky guy!
It's more frustrating for me cause I placed my 1st order on 9/29 but the dealer botched that order up and I had to reorder on 10/9. The dealer told me my 1st order is already in transport and my actual order is still in JB as of monday. Something happened that is holding some of us up, and I'm still waiting to see what.
