I pick up mine on Thursday. I give you guys who are passionate about the color credit, for me it was never that strong a feeling. If you go by Palmer before Thursday you can see mine, just don’t sit in itSaw Palmer had a Black LE for sale. Nope. Not going to do it. Waiting it out. Will be seeing you on 400 Jensen66!
What's your spec?I pick up mine on Thursday. I give you guys who are passionate about the color credit, for me it was never that strong a feeling. If you go by Palmer before Thursday you can see mine, just don’t sit in it
Think he mentioned it yesterday in this post. Gave up on Granite for Red LE.What's your spec?
I am out. Dealer had a red LE available for trade for my eventual GC LE, I will pick it up Thursday (already have pics on dealer lot). Color choice was tricky for me, I like red for safety reasons on Atlanta’s highways (if you can see me maybe you wont hit me?) but my ‘84 CJ-7 was also red and my ‘12 wrangler is a dark red. Really only had two colors that I did not want , black (too hot in the south for me) and white (too clean for me), both of which I guess technically are not even “colors” ;-). Went with GC based on the on-line pics and limited selection but the waiting is crazy, in the end, it is just a color, love the way the red looks and I am sure I will love the GC when I finally get to see it too. Good luck guys, see you around town
Do you think when she made the one shot comment she was including both LEs and regular order granites?Just spoke with Paige again. Still in C. She said hopefully by end of or beginning of month they will start. They are making sure paint and parts are correct. She said all the granites going through one shot. When I asked her to ballpark me on how long she said hopefully within 2 months of start.
Might as well throw me on that list as wellWho's left on the Granite Crystal Metallic wait list? Had a few more drop in the last week or two...

Just for that, I’m going to fart in it. Lol.I pick up mine on Thursday. I give you guys who are passionate about the color credit, for me it was never that strong a feeling. If you go by Palmer before Thursday you can see mine, just don’t sit in it
*IF* they start building the end of the month (which they have been saying for several months now), are they building them in one shot, or taking 2 months to build them? You can't have both. Below is an earlier analysis I had posted.Just spoke with Paige again. Still in C. She said hopefully by end of or beginning of month they will start. They are making sure paint and parts are correct. She said all the granites going through one shot. When I asked her to ballpark me on how long she said hopefully within 2 months of start.
So, I tried to run some numbers today. A whole lotta what ifs/assumptions, but this is what I'm seeing as possible (even if not desired).
In this post (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...more-yet-to-be-built.18346/page-2#post-278430), based on a couple of reference points, it looks like Granite made up 28-30% of LE orders. Based on that they would build ~1200 Granite LEs.
Heard numbers of 75k JTs per year. That would be ~6200/mo, or ~250 a day with ~25 work days/mo (heard somewhere else 50 per hour, so maybe that's conservative).
Fulfilling the early LE orders has NOT been a priority for Jeep, as seen by other LE color deliveries. I mean, even the $100k contest winner got their check well before they got their LE (https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...launch-edition-100k-winner.17304/#post-282917). Assuming ~5% of the builds are actually LEs, that would be ~310/month. That means it would take over 3 months to build the Granite LEs. So even if they started building them this week, it's possible some won't be built until October, and may not see VINs until close to then. Jeep may surprise us, but lately it's been mostly disappointment.
