So what are the chances of yellow being available in the future? The one head guy talked about "cartoon colors" being available at a later date in an interview. Guess I'm waiting even longer
I’d venture a guess to say, not this year...maybe next.

Ancient chinese secret aside, I'm also curious where this info comes from, as several local dealerships didn't even want to discuss release dates. I know they are probably just trying to make sales now with the current 4 colors, but I'm very curious, can you place an order with deposit for a color before its release date, and then thry can just go straight to pre ordered builds when the release date comes? My dealer said they can't do that because they aren't even sure if all colors will be available for all trim levels, and they can't close a deal now because msrp may go up pver the next month or two. Any thoughts or factual knowledge on this?

cuz they may not know - we know more than they do. You can place a deposit for order whenever, up to the dealer, but they are right MSRP can change, and all colors may not be avail for all models.

Current order banks won't allow dealers to place an order for late colors. so if they take and "order" from you, it's not through Jeep, just a deposit within the dealership.

When JLs rolled out, they changed the pricing a few months into production. The dealer probably realizes that and don't want to commit to a price until they can actually place an order through Jeep.

This!!
Looking at JL’s ... the more I see Mojito, the more I like it. Wonder if it and yellow will make the list next year.

I ordered one yesterday and only the first 4 colors were available. for some reason the steel winch bumper wasn't showing up as 'order-able' either. but hopefully I can get it through accessories or quadratec. even though it'll cost a tiny bit more

I ordered a LE on 5/16 and Granite Crystal was an option so that’s what I ordered. I was talking to the dealer most of the week and GC became an orderable color on 5/15 (for LE). It was greyed out prior to that. Maybe it was a glitch? I have a VON, but no update from the dealer since.

New to the group.
Last week was able to order Sting Ray gray from Dealer on the Rubi, they said it was open to order.
Found out today that there was a glitch in the system and it was kick out for ordering, will be waiting to order again either Sting ray or Granite.
Great Forum, have been doing A LOT of reading.

Except all of the dealers on the forum posted about the same glitch and many said something along the lines of "I can order more colors today, however I am skeptical as this does not match the dates I was given. We can try but don't be disappointed if we get an email the next day that the order has been rejected." Total transparency from the dealers I spoke to on the day of the glitch.

Gotcha.... I'm very skeptical of all dealers. Thanks for the clarification

If the Sting Greycolor is available 6/24, when will we be able to start ordering them?
