FCA stock took a hit today as it was announced that Trump is imposing a 5% (CORRECTION) tariff on Mexico (where a lot of FCA supplies come from). My guess is this will create a serious shortage and slow down production and maybe even increase prices. Glad I have my order in already. Travis says...
This part of the promo video seams to suggest that you can do this which would be HUGE for me and give me a ton of room to install the child seat (our baby seat is very long)
Do any of you have knowledge of this? Has anyone tried it in the JL?
So I got my build sheet today finally and it says: "97 mph Vehicle Max Speed Calibration"
My truck is a Rubicon with stock wheels and Falken LT285/70R17C BSW A/T tires. I was under the impression that the 97mph was due to mud terrain and that A/T tires would be set to 110mph max.
What gives...
My status is now E (Frame). The rep said it would likely be shipping in a couple of days.
Anyone know how many days from E the truck normally shows up on dealer lot in NC?
Also, my dealer is in NC and I'm in CA. My guess is that will add a week or 10 days. Is that about right?
I know we talked about this at length and I noticed that there is a TON of ignorance about buying vs leasing cars in general. So I took it upon myself to make a video with a detailed discussion on the topic that really considers everything especially here in 2019 when we're on the precipice of a...
I've been clicking refresh on the BuildSheetServlet page for a few weeks now and waiting. I know I'm in D1 status now and wondering when does the information get populated there?

Mine basically says:

In the past, I've almost always bought my cars at a different dealer than I've had them serviced at. This will be my first American car and I've heard some horror stories about Ford and FCA dealers giving customers bad service or flat out refusing service if they car/truck wasn't purchased...
Orange Coast Dodge Chrysler and Jeep has 7 on the lot today. I went down and took a well optioned Rubicon for a quick drive. We even stopped to get gas. Here's a few things that came up:
1) The hard top liner is pretty janky. It looks like it was tacked on with elmers glue. Don't order that...
[Edit: I've been corrected and this is not an LE. Not sure why it has the 419 badge but maybe they all do?]
I've been trying to find a JT in SoCal and can't find one at any of the dealers. Imagine my surprise when there was two of the parked next to my work at a car wash this morning. I...
Local SoCal dealer called me today to say they will have 200 units by end of May and he'll let me know the minute the first one arrives so I can test drive it. 200 sounded a little like a white lie to me cause I can't imagine they will get that larger of an allocation but ... Hopefully this...
Let's talk every day stuff. I've owned a few SUVs in the past and years ago I had an F150. This is my first modern Jeep product ( I drove an old Grand Cherokee Chief in high school decades ago). Given the length of this thing, as an every day vehicle, have you guys given any thought to...
I have placed my order and intend to purchase in full when it is ready, but hearing about the lease deals makes me want to consider it as an option. Is it possible to opt for a lease on a custom ordered vehicle once it's ready? I would have thought no, but ...
Trying to do some shopping locally for tires in anticipation of the arrival of the truck. My question is will 35" tires fit the OEM Rubicon wheels?
Also, which 35" tires do you all recommend for 80% street 20% off-road?
I placed my order today and am already regretting a couple of decisions. I don’t want the matching fenders on the red truck. And I think I’d like black leather over beige. How easy is it for the dealer to still change my order given that it was only placed today?
I also opted for the Rubicon...
I finally got my order placed today with Travis. I ended up going with Firecracker since my first 3 choices of colors were late availability. I do like the red color anyway ...
So I got my VON and now am wondering if any non-LE orders have had a VIN assigned or not. On the other VIN post...
I found a video demonstration the removal of the soft top on the JL
My questions are:
1) Is removing the hard top easier or harder than this?
2) Do you think the JT will have a similar level of effort for completely removing the soft top?
I'm driving myself crazy with deciding which to...
Looks like my build is going to come to $58235. At this rate I might as well opt for Launch edition.
Anyway, my question is, for those of you who on or have driven the JL for a fair amount, what is your opinion on the Active Safety group and the Adaptive Cruise Control and Forward Collision...
Looks like $35k - $62k is the range, which is a little above what we had hoped for but not terribly so. Definitely priced higher than the competitors. Just curious to hear if any of you are deterred by the price and are going to hold off now?
I’ve got some sticker shock on the Launch edition...
As much as I’m dying to place my order ASAP, the colors I want are all late availability colors.
Also, I’d much prefer the diesel but of course that’s late availability too.
For those of you who were around for the JL release, how long did “late availability” turn out to be? Are we talking...
