Delay ordering for GATOR??????

See, there's that whole"eye of the beholder" thing, that looks brown to me in that light.

I agree its still on the brown side of green, but id say an OD to scummy pond water, or (laughing) if youre familiar with Crystal Beach, Texas surf with a good south east wind...its that color

I’m really looking forward to a long road trip in the new truck.

Why pay more to only drive 8-minutes home and sit in the driveway?

Good point! Great way to learn how the truck handles.

Lol @hawkijon , most of the gulf is that color on an overcast day.

I have a message into my plant source to see if I can get an answer as to why so many are sitting in JB status for so long. It may take a day or so for me to get an answer.
All jeep chat is saying is the ordering process takes 7 to 9 weeks!

That will be awesome to know. I have been stuck in JB for a few days now, would love to know which feature I should regret ordering. lol

I have been in D status for well over a week. I wonder if they wait and group a bunch of Canadian builds together, maybe there are differences other than the speedometer

I'm not in Canada, and have been in D for almost 3 weeks. Who knows?!

ive seen from the signatures of @Robieman and @GlacierGladiator and a few others, it sounds like the bedliner vendor might be the hold up... the was also mentioned in the GOBI club....do you have bedliner on your build? I would think yours being canadian wouldnt make much difference on the build other than the metric components procured...probably makes a difference in the "K" status or expediting?

Yes, there is bedliner in the build..My window sticker has also populated which I find weird

I added the bed liner option to my Sting Grey order and it was through JB in a day. This was last week

..... now we have seen it all... we really have no idea of a concept, even if we try.. im wondering if you were an 80% build... my dealer mentioned during the order process that orders generally take between 6-8 weeks, but could be sooner due to an 80% build. Bascically if your build corresponds with a production vehicle 80% or better match, your order supersedes and dealer lot order and you move to that place in line as opposed to being placed as a new order at the end of the line.

My dealer is seemingly just as excited about getting gator on the lot as I am. They called me today with a Ramp ETA of 11/4, weather permitting, and to expect @ dealer around a week after, but usually 3 days. It was loaded on a rail car 10/25 and is pretty much a straight shot from Toledo. @Mr_baker4420 @bloran @NaughtyGeek @jeepncrowd...yall could be on the same load

Nope not so lucky. Just checked it's scheduled to be loaded on a rail car on Nov 09. Over the past 5 days it's been pushed back from the the 3rd to the 6th, to now the 9th.....
It's also not a direct shot from Toledo to Alliance tx railyard. It has to change trains..

hmm...I’m not sure if this info was intended to be proprietary, but this is what the dealership sent me in an email. I wonder if mine is the same load, but the info hasn’t been update per yours.. I assumed the train would go to alliance and then pearland, but maybe it’s a little more direct than I imagined?

That is weird cause mine is still in Jb and I cant get my window sticker. I'm wondering if trailer hitches are also put on during JB.

I also ordered the bedliner. Still no build sheet.

Thats similar to what my dealer showed me. I was told the ramp ETA was the date it was expected to be loaded on the train. Seeing that your rail ship date was well before your ramp ETA gives me hope. Now that would mean we are wrong on what Ramp ETA means. Who knows.
