Before and after. I spent a couple of weeks tossing on the pile of parts in my garage that I accumulated over the months of waiting ?. This will be a stealth overland build. Took it on some light trails over the weekend to one of my fishing spots and it didn’t disappoint. I have big plans for...
Scrap that, I just got a call from my dealer and my truck has been delivered!! I’ll be picking it up tomorrow morning as well!
Talk about funny, haha! it must have been our usernames, that’s it for sure ?. I’ll post a picture once I receive it from the sales manager.
Wow, when you actually think about it….haha! We must have similar tastes as well!
It must have been some random option that was backlogged in October that messed us up initially. Now with it completed the shipping process and literally miles from me, there aren’t enough workers at the Port to...
I called the dealer and it looks like my JT has been at the rail yard for 4 days waiting for a truck to get it delivered to the dealer. I’m glad to know that it’s nearby (14 miles from the dealer), but I have no clue how long that will take to happen. He said there have been delays in sorting...
I just got word from the dealer that my JT arrives at the rail yard on 2/17. About damn time (took the CEO long enough to pull it across the country…). Since there has been worker/trucker contraints, they said it could take up to two weeks to get from the rail yard to the dealer, even though...
My delivery date got bumped to the week of 3/7, and all of my willpower and patience immediately exited my body after reading the updated date in the Jeep wave email. I’m going to show up to the dealer when my JTRD arrives looking dried up and dusty like this fellow here…
I started this whole...
“I can see your order has been released from the factory and was approved for shipping. Shipping arrangements have been completed and is in transit with a Dealer ETA window 02/22/2022 - 03/07/2022!”
I finally have a solid delivery window from Jeep chat. I think I might have the longest order...
I’m still waiting on mine to be delivered to the dealer, but imagine the CEO is making good progress at the start of their personal trailering journey across the country…
The dealer said my JT is at this shipping stage on Wednesday:
TOLEDO SUPPLIER PARK 60706 AUTPT KING RD...
Mine is in shipping now as well. I’m going to assume that the CEO, who hand built my truck after forging and milling all parts by hand (why else would it take so long?), strapped a hitch to his back and is dragging my JT in an enclosed, single car trailer, on all fours, to my dealer here in...
I was more curious to see if it was the diesel option causing all of the long builds/delays. If you think about it, the ZF trans comes from Germany and the diesel power plant comes from Italy, so it seems plausible that there could be delays from that.
Yours being the pentastar v6 leads me to...
The sales manager at my dealer told me a while back that Jeep production facilities take a 2 week idling period starting 1/22. They shut down pretty much everything, and it appears that he might have been correct. Maybe they worked to get as many orders completed as possible and sent emails out...
I got my Jeep Wave email this morning as well. There must be a large batch coming out from Jeep since they sent so many emails. My JTRD is coming into Oregon the week of 2/18, so it'll be a nice birthday present for myself!
