I’m still waiting on mine but the credit he offered me for the stock Rubicon wheels and MTs was $500. I said leave them in the bed for me and I’ll sell them myself.

Drive past any Jeep dealer right now and they’re likely to have excess JLs on their lot. FCA should’ve slowed Wrangler production when sales slowed but they kept plowing through, using up all the steel bumpers. Now they’re having to discount Wranglers to move them. They can make great machines...

Would explain why they think mine will start production this week. It’s late June.

I thought all Gladiators had a steel rear bumper but I haven't really looked at the other trims. Is it only Rubicons?

Is that site legit? They didn't even pluralize the word correctly.

That's the biggest annoyance for me too. I ordered thinking I'd have it for the summer. Not in a hurry to get it all rusty in a Utah winter. I may just wait until next year if the thing isn't here by August. Eh no I won't. I'm obsessed. I'll be thrilled at any progress.

Hey I still sympathize man. Just not as much as with someone who left options off in the name of a fast delivery. I didn't do that and you've certainly been waiting longer than I have so hang in there. Granite was originally listed as late availability and then was changed around the time they...

Yeah the Granite LE people will have the longest wait for sure. I don't feel as bad for you guys though because you knew fairly early on that it would be a wait. Some people (not me) purposefully chose barebones builds to try to get them faster and still ended up in D hell. I'll wait impatiently...

Hook us up. What did he charge?

I was never given an option to change anything. In fact I tried to change colors and the Jeep rep for my dealer said no. Baffling. Mine is a white automatic Rubi with saddle leather and painted top and fenders. Every option except for the steel bumper, engine block heater, smokers group, dual...

I didn't order the steel bumper and I still got boned so I'm betting several different options are experiencing an inventory shortage.

Still D1 and no ship date for me. If I spend as long in D1 as I did in D I'm out. It shouldn't be this hard to give FCA my money. Maybe I'll revisit after they add some new colorways. Based on how it's gone so far though, I'll call the dealer to cancel and he'll tell me it just arrived because...

I've never seen them say they'll expedite anything. Escalate is the word they use and it doesn't mean anything other than we'll have someone more important look at your order to try to find out why it's not moving. Zero guarantee than anything will come from that.

Yeah I tried to change colors after hitting D status. You would think it would be possible given that I spent a month and a half in D and I tried early on to change it, but no. Put the thousand toward a good quality wrap if you have really soured on your color choice. Or use it to justify...

You can back out but they may keep your deposit if you gave one. Otherwise they have no means of stopping you. Changing an order after a VIN is assigned isn't really an option. The reality is the dealer is either cancelling or ordering two with the intention of selling the one you don't want to...

Now that many of us have escaped D jail, how long have orders been spending in D1? Do build sheets happen in D1 or would that not be until build starts?

Not who you're asking but I had all of those except the bumper and had been in D since 5/4. Finally made it to D1 yesterday.

They'd only need that much if the stock doesn't tank. That's not a given. Agreed though, it'd have to be hostile.

Now you've got me thinking... In other news, chat is back working again and I'm in D1! Hells yes. I ranted at my dealer yesterday so I'm not sure if he got it done or if it's just a coincidence but I'll take it either way.

You ever tried to put a robot in the back seat of a JK? I need that bed.
